There really was no better person for us to finish this season with.Laura told us about her sketch show beginnings as part of Checkley Bush; her interest in class as a subject, both in her Proper Class Podcast and in her work as an actor; the earworm that has plagued her since she was a teenager; AND Alex and Daniel get very confused about what the worst job Laura has ever done is.This may be the last episode of season three, but it's not quite the end of Hellish for 2025.

Author LOUIE STOWELL guides us through the five tracks she will meet in Hell!Louie told us all about her bestselling series of children's books, which revolve around the Norse god Loki in the former of an eleven year old boy. They're very funny and you should read them if you haven't already. We also uncovered the heinous crime that got Louie sent to Hell, welcomed four artists who have never been brought to Hell before (including the most recent record we've ever had on) AND we added another chapter to our ongoing conversation about separating the art from the artist.Hellish is a show for grown ups, and we chat about grown up stuff. In this episode we broached the subject of curse words in children's books, and while it's a very lighthearted conversation we've dipped the sound on one of the most grown-up words, in case Louie's readers come across the episode. The new Loki book is A Bad God's Guide to Causing Chaos. The Hellish bookshop also has a selection of Louie's other books, which you will find here.Special thanks to Iain Cook for his help with the outro vocals.BUY US A COFFEE!

Screenwriter and actor OLIVER LANSLEY gives us the five tracks he will meet in Hell!Oli is an incredibly prolific actor and writer (check his IMDB if you don't believe us!). He's responsible for a number of hit tv shows, including Flack with Anna Paquin and Where's Wanda? on Apple TV+.As well as getting his Infernal playlist, we asked Oli about how he gets things made, the rules that streamers have for the TV shows they make, what happens to the characters when the show they are in does not get recommissioned, and whether or not he had 'moist' written on his schoolbag. (That last one will make more sense when you listen to the episode.)We also talk about Oli's sitcom, Whites, which is currently available to buy from Apple's TV store in the UK. You can go here to check it out. (That's the only place we could find it in the UK. You don't need an Apple device to buy it.) In the USA and Canada, it's on Prime and Britbox. And if you like it, don't forget we also interviewed the show's producer Michelle Farr Scott, and co-star Stephen Wight.

Songwriter RAY HEFFERNAN gives us the five tracks he will meet in Hell! (PART TWO OF TWO)Things are a bit different on Hellish this week. It's our first two-parter and our first sequel (of sorts). After we discussed the authorship of Robbie Williams's hit song 'Angels' with Emma Newman last week, we thought we'd get in touch with the man who co-wrote it but gets none of the credit, and ask him to tell us the story. We also got to hear about the life of a songwriter and how Ray uses songwriting to teach languages, we got a great break-up story, and generally had a right laugh.Ray got on to the subject of Robbie Williams and the writing of 'Angels' during our usually Patreon-only 'Artist You Will Meet in Hell' section, and so we've decided to put that out on the main feed this week, for everyone to hear, for free. (Patreons got the full, unsplit version last week - one of the perks of going to patreon.com/hellishpod and signing up.) This made the episode a bit long for the main feed, so we're putting it out in two parts simultaneously.To hear Ray performing the original version of 'Angels' - as written by Ray and Robbie Williams in December 1996 - head to https://tinyurl.com/rayangelsFind us on Spotify to hear the songs on Ray's Infernal Playlist in full, as well as the Ultimate Infernal Playlist which combines the choices of every damned soul we've met so far. https://tinyurl.com/hellishpodHead to https://www.patreon.com/hellishpod to access episodes early and ad free, where you will find out which artists our guests will meet in Hell.
