This is Hell! is a weekly Saturday morning four hour radio show hosted by Chuck Mertz on
Format
Each show consists of four or five long interviews with academics, authors, or activists. Each interview ends with the question from hell; "a question we hate to ask, you may hate to answer, or our audience may hate the response".
Other features include pieces by a range of irregular correspondents from around the world, the most frequent being playwright and screenwriter Jeff Dorchen, whose Moment of Truth[1] closes the show, and less frequently Kevan Harris The Radical Pessimist, and Elvis deMorrow from the Konspiracy Korner. URL Labs' LaddieO.com regularly delivers a Website of the Week. The guests and irregular correspondents are interspersed with local, national and international information and news stories, as well as informed commentary on a range of subjects.
The show also typically includes a segment about hangover cures, both dubious and credible, and an ad for National Beer which culminates in the host deciphering a rebus puzzle.
