| 11/17/25 | 5.6 - Somebody Loves Me | Good Girls Go to Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere) | An end of term vibe delayed by a bit of illness brings us to this, the true end of term - Chat out of Hell series five, episode six. Meat Loaf gets all classy and covers Gershwin in the first half, then Emma has to explain that Good Girls go to Heaven is actually about self-enjoyment and ruins it for everyone. But we still have time to dive into the important questions, like: - Which Vaudeville performer was described as "a mop gone crazy"? - What did Emma get up to in the Girl Guides? - Has... | 50m 56s | ||||||

| 10/20/25 | 5.5 - More Than You Deserve | California Dreamin' | As we cruise towards the end of series five, we’ve time to visit more of Jim’s dodgy musical past, but then cleanse our palate with a very modern dodgy cover of an absolute classic. And while we’re there, let’s ask some questions like: - Is Emma more of a Bert or an Ernie? - Is Jim Steinman more of a 70s Kermit the Frog or the rubbish modern one? - What did Bob Mortimer think of Mr Blobby? PLUS some more Blobby classics from the archives, a bit more chat about old man Meat Loaf raging at the ... | 40m 50s | ||||||
| 10/6/25 | 5.4 - No Matter What | In the Land of the Pig, The Butcher is King | Chat out of Hell moves as close as it's ever been to boy band territory this episode as we check in with Jim Steinman's collab with Andrew Lloyd Webber, which somehow led to a single from Boyzone. Meanwhile Meat Loaf rocks the heck out to a track from the never-seen Batman: The Musical and we all wonder if it was a good idea. But while we do, we answer the big questions, questions like: - What did teenage Emma think fo the boy band phenomenon? - Was Meat Loaf ever happy? - Has Sam bitten off... | 40m 17s | ||||||
| 9/22/25 | 5.3 - Cry Over Me | Amnesty is Granted | We call back in to see what Diane Warren's been up to this episode, as we listen to the third of her Meat songs in Cry Over Me, before Sammy Hagar barges in with the hard-rockin' Amnesty is Granted. But during all that, we get to answer the big questions: - How good a video can you make in four hours? - What was the deal with Bat out of Hell III? - Is A Very Merry Muppet Christmas any good? PLUS some exposition about Mr. Blobby, a bit of nonsense about Bill and Ted and how much British peop... | 34m 26s | ||||||
| 9/8/25 | 5.2 - A Time For Heroes | Holding Out For a Hero | 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. But we did discuss the big questions, questions like: - What on earth was going on at Marvel comics in the late 80s? - What's gone wrong with nerds lately? - Is it wise to dance on the edge of the Grand Canyon when you're that hungover? PLUS another episode of Bonnie Tyler Explains Pop Cultu... | 42m 20s | ||||||
| 8/25/25 | 5.1 - Tear Me Down | Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are | Five alive! But not the delicious soft drink of the 1980s. We're back for the first proper episode of series five with an exploration of Meat Loaf's sad origins. And really, they are sad. Poor bloke. But we still managed to find some fun in there, as we also get answers to the big questions. Questions like: - Is there anything Michael Bay can't wedge an explosion into? - Is there any song Jim Steinman can't wedge a vampire into? - Is there any conversation Meat Loaf can't wedge a massive lie ... | 46m 39s | ||||||
| 8/11/25 |  Film Club 4 - Ghost Wars | It's nearly time for new Chat out of Hell, but first there's a summer blockbuster film club! And what a blockbuster it is, as we watch 13 episodes of the SyFy original series Ghost Wars. Don't say we never do anything for you. Chat out of Hell returns for series 5 on Monday 25th of August, where we'll dive into Meat Loaf's early days with Objects in the Rear View Mirror from Bat out of Hell II and Tear Me Down from Couldn't Have Said it Better. See you then, Loafers! Keep your comments, rev... | 46m 14s | ||||||
| 6/30/25 | 4.6 - Kickapoo | California Isn't Big Enough (Hey There Girl) | Chat out of Hell earns its explicit tag this week and it's all Meat Loaf's fault. It's two songs from the cheeky boys of silly rock as we start with Meat guesting on a Tenacious D song then straight into a Justin Hawkins-penned number about his schlong. You know, his nob. His junk. His bits. His wang pipe. His donger. His one-eyed trouser snake. His pump-action yoghurt gun. His lizard. His peen. His Henry Hoover's nose. His genital joystick. His Meat Loaf and two Veg Loafs. His handy hosepipe... | 42m 37s | ||||||
| 6/16/25 | 4.5 - Surf's Up | Masculine | Grab your boards and hit the waves, dudes. Surf's Up! Jim Steinman's sportiest song slash rude joke meets Meat Loaf's MANLIEST number in this episode. We're stuck in the 80s again, so there's big shoulders and pastel coloured suits aplenty. BUT: - How MANLY can one song be? - Was Meat Loaf in on the joke? - Why does masculinity smell just like Lynx Africa? PLUS all the usual nonsense, discussion of radioactive animals and a dog determined to make it onto the recording today. Keep your commen... | 41m 06s | ||||||
| 6/2/25 | 4.4 - I'm Gonna Love Her For Both of Us | Making Love out of Nothing at All | There's a spate of inadequate male lovers in this episode. Is Meat Loaf's friend a bad boyfriend? Are Air Supply just a bit too full of themselves? We stay firmly in the early 80s this time with a not-hit from Dead Ringer and an arrogant Best of from Air Supply. BUT: - Is "white soul ballad" a compliment? - What's Emma's bath technique? - How sympathetic is Meat Loaf to his band's drug habits? PLUS a bit of a chat about how male behaviour is coded in media, plus a lot of the usual nonsense. E... | 32m 54s | ||||||
| 5/19/25 | 4.3 - (I'd Love to Be) As Heavy as Jesus | Stand in the Storm | Where did Meat Loaf's career begin? Not here, but it's quite close. Time for another break from Jim Steinman's zany antics as we dive into Meat Loaf's Motown past and his angry... well, not future. More recent past. This episode we dive into Meat's first recorded album and then some shouty angry MAN ROCK from one of his later ones. And on the way, we'll answer some of the questions like: - What does a Jesus weigh? - How wrong is Louder Sounds's ranking of Meat Loaf albums? - How do you make a... | 40m 37s | ||||||
| 5/5/25 | 4.2 - Dead Ringer for Love | Runnin' for the Red Light (I Gotta Life) | I don't know anything about you baby, but Chat out of Hell is everything you're dreaming of. Assuming you dream of adequate podcast analysis of the works of Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman. This episode we take a break from Jim Steinman's byzantine theatre career and go back to the absolute rockers from the mouth of Meat Loaf. Dead Ringer for Love and Runnin' for the Red Light vie for your affections this time, and one of them is the clear winner. This epsiode we'll answer the deep questions, ques... | 40m 35s | ||||||
| 4/26/25 | EXTRA Bat Musical Review Special | This is a very special extra bit of Chat out of Hell. If you're interested in our thoughts on the Bat musical currently touring the UK, this is the right place! If you're not, we totally get it and we'll see you on the 5th for a proper episode instead.
