My good friend John Hell, who produces the excellent podcast “A Season In Hell” (see my previous write-up), is making his triumphant return to radio tonight with his new show on San Francisco’s beloved micro radio station Pirate Cat Radio (87.9FM). The radio version of A Season In Hell, will air Monday nights from 8pm to midnight and I’m honored to be one of his first guests on the show.

I first met John Hell back when he was a DJ on KJFC at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. John was also one of the founders of Radio Free Burning Man and I have fond memories of stopping by his show and hanging out on those early mornings on the playa. The last time I was on his radio show was in 2003, back when he was on San Francisco Liberation Radio (here are some photos from that show).

Tune in tonight or listen to the live stream online, I should be on around 8:30pm.
