Last week, This is Hell! was ready to air our first show of the year when bitter blind broke gap-toothed radio show host Chuck Mertz was hit by one of the two strains of the flu that’s bating the living hell outta America. On tomorrow’s first This is Hell! of 2013, Chuck will interview The New York Times’ Steven Greenhouse who will reveal Wal-Mart’s outsourcing problems. Chuck will also speak with historian Rick Perlstein who exposes ‘How the NRA Became an Organization for Aspiring Vigilantes,’ activist Shahid Buttar who will discuss Obama’s renewed domestic surveillance policy, and The Nation’s Dave Zirin will explain why 2012 was ‘The Year Our Sports Broke.’ We’ll start the New Year with a new irregular correspondent. Former WNUR general manager Marc Flury will be giving us reports live from South Korea, but this week he’s in Hanoi. We’ll hear from ‘Our Man in Dublin,’ Will Lynch who may talk abortion scandal, or maybe flag riots. Who knows? When we do, we’ll tell you. Kevan Harris, ‘The Radical Pessimist,’ joins us live in-studio for the entire show, but will also give do his segment. And live from Los Angeles, Jeff Dorchen will deliver a Moment of Truth. This week’s show will be produced by Alex Jerri and Richard Norwood.
