Chat out of Hell is cracking on with series 5!

Continuing the theme of doing themes, this episode we take a look at two rockin' songs about heroes. And somehow made it through the whole thing without once talking about Cadbury's Heroes. Well done us.

One for @urbanprehistorian.bsky.social - I was reading this morning about the Asda 'Price Promise' stones that were erected across the country in the 90s

Some are definitely on the way to being archaeological monuments, such as this one in Trumfleet, South Yorkshire

This is among the worst ideas I've ever seen.
Introducing the first AI prototype of a British MP🇬🇧🤖

When constituent and local business owner, Jeremy Smith, approached me with this idea, I was very excited to work with him. The AI revolution is happening and we must embrace it to see how it can be useful, in all sectors.

Big shout out to the band of teenagers playing a very loud cover of Creep in the middle of Leeds today.

It is proper dweeb behaviour. Yorkshire does have loads of brilliant stuff, and maybe even more brilliant stuff than other counties, which it achieves by being bigger than them. Brilliant stuff distribution per square mile is pretty standardised.
okay help me out here - am I really the only one who finds the "God's Own Country" thing extremely cringeworthy? imagine someone from any county but Yorkshire trying it and everyone would giggle

Am I supposed to recognise the three tossers on the Trivago advert?

We ended Chat out of Hell series four by giggling about Meat Loaf's Meat Loaf and two Veg Loaf. And rightly so. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Idea for a film: a poor working class boy in 21st Century Sheffield is bullied by his siblings and teachers but finds happiness in his copy of Kes on DVD. At the end his brother puts it in the bin because who watches DVDs nowadays.

In Chat out of Hell this week we dive into Meat's first recorded album and then some shouty angry MAN ROCK from one of his later ones. Find it wherever you find your podcasts. Or on this link here!

It's a lovely song, Italy, but why the Boosh tribute act? #eurovision

Latvia is quite nice, but it's the theme to a Civilization game, not a #Eurovision entry.

I saw Estonia in the semis and may I say I have no idea why they remain unmurdered by the Italian delegation. Looking forward to the UK song next year "onh onh onh, je suis beaucoup French" #eurovision

Shit, it's the set from Finders Keepers, the less good sibling to Fun House #eurovision

Norway is all dressed up like Cate Blanchett in that Thor film she was in. #eurovision

Ah, go on then. Space Eurovision Doctor Who was excellent all around.

This whole Whoniverse thing is an upsettingly pathetic act of "look at us, we're just like Marvel". It's fine. Leave it alone. You can make spinoffs without it.

I love Spring. This bit is the best two weeks of the year.

Chat out of Hell is back to go where other podcasts won't - in this case, to Jim Steinman's very first musical. Produced at Amherst College in 1969, burning a trail through rock and roll history for the rest of time and not very good.

Listen where you get pods!

Next Chat out of Hell is going to be extra good now.
IT’S TIME! On the fourth anniversary of his death, we remember the forever-young & wild mind & work of Jim Steinman. STILL BEATING is a 48 page zine and YOU can get one now! ☺️❤️‍🔥 mixam.co.uk/print-on-dem...

My hottest take is that Night Tracks finishes too early these days.

Nice people are struggling over the revelations on Gaiman, and something I keep hearing is, 'His work had a big influence on how I shaped my own identity.' So here's something to remember:

You did that. He didn't do it for you. 1/
