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.

A total joy or should that be Goody? of an episode. Fresh for your ears here: podfollow.com/through-the-...
