This is Hell (radio)

This is Hell (radio)

This is Hell is a weekly Saturday morning four hour radio show hosted by "Chuck Mertz" on WNUR-FM in Evanston, Chicago. It has been broadcasting regularly since 1998. Although the show is broadcast live, the vast majority of its listenership listens to it from around the world through its podcast,Fact|date=March 2008 for which archives are available back to 2001.

The shows are based around four or five well-prepared long interviews with academics or authors of recent books and articles that last up to half an hour, and always end with a "question from hell" - "a question we hate to ask, and you may hate to answer".

Recent guests have included Sami Al Arian, Scott Ritter, Noam Chomsky, Greg Palast, Juan Cole.

Other features include pieces by the irregular correspondents, usually Jeff Dorchen with his "Moment of Truth" [http://www.mejeffdorchen.oblivio.com/] , and less frequently Kevan Harris "The Radical Pessimist", and Elvis deMorrow from the "Konspiracy Korner".

An ad for National Beer always appears at some point in the show, even though many of the listeners doubt the existence of the brand.
