Hellish

Tech journalist (and now podcaster) ADAM JUNIPER chooses the five tracks he will meet in Hell.

Adam becomes our first guest to be reunited with his wife in Hell: he's married to episode 78's damned soul, Ariane Sherine Juniper! (Listen to Ariane's episode here if you haven't already.) Adam and Ariane have teamed up for a brand new podcast, Ari and Ad Fix Your Life, in which they field listener queries and try to fix their lives. Episode one came out mere days before this episode drops, so you can grab it NOW. (Or actually, after you've listened to this episode.)

Adam is also the editor of Digital Camera World, and so we talk about tech reviews, creepy drone blokes, and the glory days of Future Publishing's video game magazines. (Shout out to Super Play)

This week TOM TURNER of the Failing Writers Podcast gives us the five tracks he will meet in Hell!

Tom tells us all about his multi-award winning Failing Writers Podcast, in which two struggling writers – Tom and co-host Jon Rand – learn everything there is to know about writing. They talk to best-selling authors, screenwriters and poets in order to help their listeners achieve their writing goals. Tom also tells us about his day job as a voiceover artist (artiste), which has seen him lend his voice to a number of high profile brands; AND we get into politics, gravelly voices, and musical onanism.

The Failing Writers Podcast is available here.

Learn more about Tom's voiceover work here.

Writer LIAM HIGGINSON gives us the five tracks he will meet in Hell!

We talk about Liam's debut novel, the excellent rural Welsh folk-horror The Hill in the Dark Grove. We hear about its origins as a lockdown project, how it was acquired in a four way auction, and what it has to say about the modern world. We also talk arcade games, the nightmare that is the UK immigration system, and Ireland's legendary Great White Horse.

Get hold of a copy of The Hill in the Dark Grove here.

You can watch footage of the vintage arcade game we talk about here.

Writer ARIANE SHERINE JUNIPER gives us the five tracks she will meet in Hell!

As well as her Infernal Playlist, Ariane tells us about her many adventures, which include: nearly being in a massive pop band; winning then writing for a massive quiz show; getting hate mail for suggesting that existence of God is unlikely on the side of a bus; her teenage friendship with one of the biggest bands in the world; making her debut as a solo pop artist in her forties; and writing out labels for videotapes. And that's just the stuff we had enough space to keep in the edit. (Patreon listeners get a much longer episode - patreon.com/hellishpod)

Ariane's debut solo album, Better, is available to buy here or you can stream it on Spotify and everywhere else.

The Real Sinéad O'Connor, Ariane's biography of the singer, is available here.

Ariane's novel, Sh*tcom, is available here

We talked about using art as therapy, tidying up a rubbish dump for a living, and how bands get big long after they should have done.
