Writer MARK BOWLES gives us all his precious Infernal Playlist tracks...
Mark is the author of the Goldsmiths Prize nominated novel All My Precious Madness, which was lauded by critics. It's an incredibly funny book - The Guardian compared it to American comedian Bill Hicks - and Mark did not disappoint with a full-on assault on the 1980s in this episode. He talked us through the process of writing the book, welcomed news that an 1980s double act now hate each other, and of course gave us the five tracks he will meet in Hell.

Clare Pollard, writer
Top poet and novelist CLARE POLLARD gives us chapter and verse of the five tracks she will meet in Hell!
Clare is an accomplished novelist, editor and critic, as well as one of the UK's greatest living poets. (This does not stop Daniel from trying to argue in favour of some very ropey lyrics). She has published five collections of poetry, a biography-memoir-critical look at children's books, and this year alone has published two novels.
