This week’s damned soul is theologian - and author of ‘Late Star Trek’ - . As well as giving us the five tracks he will meet in Hell, Adam told us about what his book has to say about franchises and prequels, what the devil has to say about politics, and how Fleetwood Mac can be used as a teaching aid.

Link in bio

Late Star Trek is out now on and is great. Even if you don’t like Star Trek, but are interested in pop culture and the nature of franchises.
