Hellish

19th Dec 2025: Ed Aldridge (altSHIFT)

The Hellish Advent Calendar is back! Every day in the run up to Christmas we’re resurrecting former guests and forcing an extra song on to their Infernal Playlists: a Christmas song they cannot stand.


Today we welcome back pornographer ED ALDRIDGE, who originally joined us for episode 55. 


Read about Ed’s film Blowie here https://www.blowiethemovie.com


Come back tomorrow for the opening of the next door on the Advent Calendar of Doom!
