Writer and pop music expert JUSTIN LEWIS gives us the five tracks he will meet in Hell!

Justin's latest book, Into the Groove, is a fun, fact-packed race through 1980s pop music, so we had a lot of fun talking about that. We also found time to touch on Radio X, Liz Kershaw's wrongun ways, how to write a biography in seven weeks, and the terrors of press day for a TV listings compiler.

You can find out more about Justin here. You can buy a copy of Into the Groove here. (Using this link will help Hellish keep going)

We had to cut loads of cool stuff from this episode for time and also legal reasons. Patreon subscribers get the full thing, which this week means an extra twenty seven minutes! https://www.patreon.com/hellishpod to sign up.
