Hellish
Daniel Whelan & Alex Gale
Welcome to Hellish, the only podcast that comes to you from Hell's waiting room.
In each episode, Hell's receptionist Daniel Whelan and Satan's tea boy Alex Gale interrogate a newly damned soul, asking them for the five songs they will meet in Hell: the music that we will use to torment them for all eternity. The condemned take us through songs they are embarrassed to have once liked; songs they can't stand that are otherwise universally adored; songs that remind them of bad times; songs they hate by artists they love; and songs that once stuck in their heads, they can never get out.

Musician & co-founder of TAPE Community Music & Film STEVE SWINDON picks the five tracks he will meet in Hell.
Steve started his career as bassist with the Britrock band A. He is now the drummer for the very fine Flotation Toy Warning. Steve is also co-founder of TAPE, a community based music and film charity which seeks to help people develop their creativity. They are doing some fine work, which we urge you to check out, but it is still not enough to save Steve from Satan's fiery music demons.
We talked about Steve's first band, how Steve became a member of Snoop Dogg's entourage for an afternoon, and podcast favourite Heather Small of M People.
You can check out TAPE's work here, and donate to help them continue the cool stuff they're doing by going here.

Welcome to Hellish, the show where we ask our guests for the five tracks they will meet in Hell.
In episode three, we torment Capital Radio's ALISTAIR JAMES. As well as being a top breakfast DJ, Alistair is also a singer and award-winning songwriter. He talks us through the five songs we'll be using to torture him for all eternity. We talk karaoke, the Welsh Eurovision Cân i Gymru, playing music you don't necessarily always like for a living, and of course the worst job Alistair has ever done.
This was one of the first episodes we recorded, at the end of 2023, and so some things have changed in the world since then. Also, we had a technical glitch and so the quality of Daniel's mic comes and goes. All perfectly listenable though!
