Happy New Year!

In this special New Year episode, Alex and Daniel are sent to purgatory to cover holidays. There, they must sit in judgement as a former damned soul offers up their REDEMPTION SONGS in an attempt to escape Hell!

They are reunited with the photographer VALERIE PHILLIPS, who was the guest on episode 16 of Hellish (which you will find here). Valerie has three songs with which to convince the judge she is worthy of being let out of Hell...will she succeed?

Valerie's new book is called CANDY CAT HEAD. You can read more about it in this article on Fashion Grunge. It's out now in Japan from Marginal Press, and will be coming to the rest of the world early this year!

This is a sort-of repeat of one of our favourite episodes, episode sixteen with photographer Valerie Phillips, which originally went out on August 5th 2024.

It’s a sort-of repeat, because what we’re putting out today is actually the Patreon version of the episode, so you’ll be getting the ‘Artist in Hell’ section instead of adverts in the middle. If you just want to hear the Patreon bit, skip to 37 mins and 2 seconds.

We're not fans of podcasts putting repeat episodes out, so we won’t be making a habit of it, and this extended version of the episode will only be on the main feed for a limited time.

The reason we’re doing it is: we have a very special episode coming out on New Year’s Day. It’s not a new Hellish, but it is a sort-of sequel to this episode of Hellish, and since there are a lot more people listening now than there were in August 2024, we wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to listen to this one before our special episode releases.

So remember to come back on New Year’s Day to hear the special, and until then enjoy meeting - or getting reacquainted with - the awesome Valerie Phillips…

The Hellish Advent Calendar is ending! Every day in the run up to Christmas we’ve been resurrecting former guests and forcing an extra song on to their Infernal Playlists: a Christmas song they cannot stand.

The final door of the Advent Calendar of Doom creaks open today, to reveal singing sensations CASPER & PAM, who originally joined us for episode 41. (Which was also the first anniversary of the first episode of Hellish!) In this special episode, we even got a special unplugged performance of the Christmas song Pam cannot stand. If you enjoy that, then head over to Bandcamp for all your canine Christmas musical needs! https://casperandpam.bandcamp.com

Patreon subscribers have access to six extra advent episodes that will not appear on the main feed. You'll also get longer, ad-free versions of all sixty five episodes of Hellish so far, last year’s extended Advent Calendar, and our two pilot episodes. https://www.patreon.com/c/hellishpod
