Hellish

In this special first birthday episode of Hellish, top singing duo CASPER & PAM give us the five tracks they will meet in Hell!Pam Quinn (human) and Casper (dog) have spent the last couple of years delighting the internet with their singing double act. They told us about getting a standing ovation from the judges on America's Got Talent, the history of Casper's special skill, whether or not Simon Cowell was right when he said a singing dog would make a million dollars, AND they introduce us to their forthcoming podcast, Casper's Song Zoo, in which they write a new song to order every episode. (That starts Sunday 27th April.)Pam did most of the talking, but Casper was good enough to serenade us to celebrate Hellish's first birthday.You can find Casper & Pam on Instagram here, and the Casper's Song Zoo Instagram is here.If you've had even a dollar's worth of joy from Casper & Pam, here or on social media, then why not contribute to Casper & Pam's Indiegogo campaign?

Writer MARK BOWLES gives us all his precious Infernal Playlist tracks...Mark is the author of the Goldsmiths Prize nominated novel All My Precious Madness, which was lauded by critics.

We grill comedian and all-round enthusiast ROBIN INCE for the five tracks he will meet in Hell!Robin has been a stand-up comedian since the early nineties. He is the author of several books, including I'm A Joke And So Are You and Bibliomaniac, and is the co-creator and co-presenter, with Professor Brian Cox, of BBC Radio 4's The Infinite Monkey Cage. That barely scratches the surface of what Robin does, however: The Guardian called Robin a 'becardiganed polymath' which just about covers it.Robin talked to us about writing poetry, being in a band, doing comedy in the 90s, vegetarianism, finding his niche, the Scala cinema, meeting George Michael, why he can't drive, AND he gave us seven songs instead of the usual five. He also talked about how he deals with social media pile-ons, and media storms - following this recent interview where he talked about being bullied by Ricky Gervais.Head 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.
