On May 30, 2008, the Illinois Entertainer published a story about This is Hell! celebrating its 10th anniversary on WNUR.

The Daily Northwestern had a very long article on the show entitled "Hellraiser" on January 17, 2008.

The Daily also ran a story on This is Hell! on April 25, 2002, called "Hell on the FM Dial."

Back in August 1999, the Chicago Reader was the first publication to run a piece on This is Hell! Read the story in its entirety here by clicking here.

The most surprising mention of This is Hell! comes from a May 28, 2006 article on podcasting in the Sunday Times of London called, "The world delivered to you." In the story they quote a long-time podcaster of This is Hell! who listens in the UK:

• Simon Regan-Edwards, a father of four young children from Kent, loves the way he can listen to his favourite podcasts any time, anywhere, and relishes the sheer diversity of choice. “Because it’s so easy to make podcasts, amateurs can produce programmes to suit every conceivable audience,” he says ...
  Critics of podcasts say that subscribers become unadventurous by sticking only with their favourites shows. Regan- Edwards could not disagree more. He doesn’t have time to search endlessly for plums, but by picking new podcasts once in a while, and subscribing to a number of them, his listening is far more varied than it would be if he had to laboriously select each file. Without automated booking, he’d never have grown loyal to the marvellous Chicago-based radio show This Is Hell (www.thisishell.net), with its intelligent political discussions and perky factoids (did you know that April 1 is a big national day in both Cyprus and Iran?).

In September 1999, the staff of This is Hell! was featured in a picture in Wired magazine with Jorn Barger, the guy who coined the term 'blog.'
