[edit] Overview

This Is Hell is a live radio show airing on WNUR 89.3 FM Chicago, Northwestern University's radio station on Saturday mornings CST. Host Chuck Mertz often interviews personnalities such as Noam Chomsky, Robert Fisk, and Greg Palast. Mertz's crew provide comic relief between interviews.

This Is Hell was recently cited by the Times of London as an excellent podcasting choice: "Critics of podcasts say that subscribers become unadventurous by sticking only with their favourites shows. Regan-Edwards could not disagree more. He doesn’t have time to search endlessly for plums, but by picking new podcasts once in a while, and subscribing to a number of them, his listening is far more varied than it would be if he had to laboriously select each file. Without automated booking, he’d never have grown loyal to the marvellous Chicago-based radio show This Is Hell with its intelligent political discussions and perky factoids (did you know that April 1 is a big national day in both Cyprus and Iran?)."
