The rule of podcasts should be: once you've had Paul McCartney on, you have to stop. You have had the biggest guest it is possible to get, now you must retire and let other podcasters have a go.

Comedian Rachel Fairburn gives us the five tracks she will meet in Hell! Rachel tells us about her new show, and making the switch to character comedy. We also talk about working in a library, dancing at weddings, and whether Liam Gallagher ever calls his mum after a gig. podfollow.com/hellish

Hellish is taking a break but as we didn't want you to be without something to listen to we've called in some of our podcast pals to help us out. This week it’s STARSHIP ALEXANDRIA. In which Emma Newman and Adrian Tchaikovsky take it in turns to recommend a work of sci-fi or fantasy to each other.

Today Writer and storyteller JOHN OSBORNE gives us the five tracks he will meet in Hell! He also tries to twist some elements of hell into a positive, and even pays Alex a compliment- which is likely the reason he was so late in posting this! The link to listen is in the bio.

Another #buyastrangerabook day offer from @carolinehooton.bsky.social ! Caroline has bought a copy of "Into the Groove" by Justin Lewis for me to give away. The ultimate celebration of 1980's music! If you'd like a copy, get in touch! UK only

The eighties was one of the most innovative periods in the history of pop music – and even forty years on remains one of the best-loved, championed by radio, television, advertisements, theatre and films, with many of the acts still performing and recording. Into the Groove is a tale of pop and circumstance. It charts the global story of pop music month by month from January 1980 to December 1989, highlighting a variety of events and tracing the career paths of many noteworthy pop acts around the world, including Annie Lennox, A-ha, Roxette, Prince, Madonna, Kraftwerk, David Bowie, Whitney Houston, Sugarcubes – and many more.

It celebrates genres of all kinds – the enduring and the faddish, the mainstream and the underground, from post-punk to acid house, from heavy rock to electronic, from hip hop to teen pop – showcasing many of the decade’s key recordings, figures and events, while also revealing plenty of intriguing lesser-known stories to create a wry and diverse musical tapestry. The perfect gift for any music lover or eighties aficionado, Into the Groove is an endlessly entertaining homage to the 1980s music scene

This week’s pod sees James Errington of @centuriesofsound.bsky.social give us the 5 tracks he will meet in hell. James tells us all about the project, in which he has been producing an audio collage for every year of recorded sound, which goes back a lot further than you’d think.

Hi everyone. Just putting this out there, we’re always looking for new and interesting people to talk to on the pod. If you know someone who is or are yourself new or interesting. Hit us up, slide into our DMs or whatever it is one does on BlueSky.

Listened to this on the way to, and on the way back from, the dentist's. Had I kept it on *at* the dentist's, I'd have choked on mouthwash when @regretteruane.bsky.social uttered That Phrase.

Writer and artist ROSE RUANE @regretteruane.bsky.social gives us the five tracks she will meet in Hell! Rose talks about moving between art and writing; her love of Manic Street AND she names one song in particular a "C*nts' Charter", so that's worth the price of listening alone.
