Hell

Available for over a year

Welcome to the chopped up, looped up, sped up world of Recycled Radio, old BBC broadcasts turned into something new. Cartoonist Scarfe scavenges round his studio for depictions of the fiery realms of Satan, Hades and Mephistopheles, otherwise known as Recycled Hell. This is the archive hour at breakneck speed, and our journey to the underworld makes surprising visits to both Glastonbury and Heathrow Terminal 5. Expect to hear from Dante, Milton and Eddie Mair, along with Tony Blair, Melvyn Bragg and Germaine Greer. Fun, silly, thoughtful radio about a place that exerts an enormous grip on the imagination of people everywhere. Producer: Miles Warde. First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in August 2014.
