Scottish author MARTIN STEWART boards the one-way elevator to the waiting room at the end of eternity, where we take from him the five tracks that will plague his afterlife. Martin is a prolific author of children's books, from 'Scottish Stranger Things' The Sacrifice Box to his "Bridget Vanderpuff" series for the over-eights. He recently moved into adult crime fiction, with the excellent Double Proof, which is shortlisted for the Bloody Scotland Scottish Crime Debut of the Year prize.

Episode fourteen brings a new development, for the first time we welcome two souls at once! Glasgow band NEVERFINE materialize in Hell and are forced to provide the five tracks that will torture them for all eternity. neverfine are the creators of a fine E.P. called Do Everything, Feel Nothing and in January released their single Colours. They've been tipped as ones to watch this year by BBC Radio Scotland's Vic Galloway, so we're pretty stoked to be able to drag them to Hell before anyone else gets their claws into them. Check them out on Spotify.

neverfine play Belladrum festival this weekend (if you're listening the week this goes out), then Hug & Pint, Glasgow on July 30th and Tenement Trail, Glasgow on October 12th.

Our thirteenth episode sees Welsh critic and broadcaster GARY RAYMOND dragged to Hell and made to give up the five tracks that will torture him for all eternity. Gary is no stranger to trips in the underworld, as his latest book, Abandon All Hope is a version of Dante's inferno set in the world of Welsh literature. He is the author of four other books: two fiction, two non-fiction, including How Love Actually Ruined Christmas, his forensically hilarious take down of the Richard Curtis film. Gary is also the host of the Radio Wales Arts Show, and founder and executive editor of Wales Arts Review.

Gary had a lot to say about his choices, so if ever there was an episode worth subscribing to Patreon for, it's this one - patreons get over twenty five minutes extra chat!

Welcome to Hellish, where we ask our guests for the five tracks they will meet in Hell.

Episode twelve is really something else. We're joined by art director/model maker/costume designer/vfx whizz CERIDWEN BROWN. It's quite hard to explain exactly what Ceridwen does, as you'll hear in the episode, but it has included making puppets for Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox; making prosthetics for the Maccabees; and doing costumes for ZingZillas. Oh, and drumming in an all-girl Chinese punk band. In China.

Ceridwen's latest project, Tweedy and and Fluff, can be seen on Channel 5 Milkshake in English, and S4C yn Cymraeg.

SOME LINKS - suggest you listen to the episode before you click these.

Here is Ceridwen's interview series on Chinese female drummers for Tom Tom Mag.

Here is Dirk from Megadeth drumming along to one of Ceridwen's choices.

Here is the video for Ceridwen's fifth choice.

Welcome to Hellish, where we ask our guests for the five tracks they will meet in Hell.

Episode eleven sees writer and broadcaster HORATIO CLARE join us so we can extract the five tracks he will meet in Hell. Horatio is the author of several books, including Gwynedd and Pembrokeshire Myths and Legends and Heavy Light, a memoir about his experience of being sectioned under the Mental Health Act. The new series of Is Psychiatry Working? is currently available on BBC platforms here. We talk about the artist who will get us all killed; an encounter with a Manic Street Preacher and a paranormal meat product; and how he almost married Kylie Minogue as a reward for bringing about world peace. (More common than you'd think).

Welcome to Hellish, where we ask our guests for the five tracks they will meet in Hell.

Episode ten, and to celebrate our epi-decade we've got comedy producer MICHELLE FARR SCOTT to give us the five tracks that will torment her for all eternity. Michelle's CV is packed full of British comedy goodness, including Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, Life's Too Short, and Bluestone 42. She is currently Head of Scripted at RangaBee, which is Romesh Ranganathan and Benjamin Green's production company. We talk about football songs, the criminally cancelled Whites, and what it's like to be the person who has to stop actors messing about on set.

Welcome to Hellish, where we ask our guests for the five tracks they will meet in Hell.

Episode nine! We're welcoming actor and writer KELLIE SHIRLEY to Hell, to get the five tracks that will torment her for all eternity. Kellie is familiar to millions as Carly Wicks in British soap Eastenders, Kirsty in Idris Elba's In the Long Run, and currently Sophia in Casualty. In this episode, we talk about being immune to a certain boyband, what happens if you accidentally scoop yourself on an exclusive you've sold to OK! Magazine, and how narrative storytelling is literally going down the toilet.

Kellie has a new podcast drama out, which benefits the Children's Society. ROAR is available on whatever platform you are reading this message on. Go get it!

This week, Hellish is joining Kellie in supporting the Children's Society. We're giving you the chance to get the extended patreon version of the episode for $3 (two quid something in UK money). Every single penny we take will go to the Children's Society (we'll be covering the cost of Patreon's fees to make sure your money goes to the charity). You can buy the extended version of the episode at www.patreon.com/hellishpod/shop

Welcome to Hellish, where we ask our guests for the five tracks they will meet in Hell.

Episode six brings us to musician and composer IAIN COOK. Iain is one third of the band CHVRCHES and one half of new project Protection. We talk the Beano universe, what exactly the rules are when it comes to a song universally adored that you cannot stand, whether or not CHVRCHES ever ride around on BMX bikes with their names on their t-shirts, and the worst job Iain has ever done. We also reveal three more of Alex's Coldplay Connections in what we hope will not become a regular feature.
