  • Great Show

    First, the show is a great listen. I love catching episodes as I read the book. It’s a great reminder of things read, universe connections, and very fun. In listening to some of the older podcast, the conversation turned too political to a point I had to fast forward 30 minutes. This is not every episode but it does occur time to time. Regardless of political leaning, I read to escape the political landscape. Keep up the great podcast, but I will be stepping back.

  • Just hanging out with my Stephen King buddies

    This was the first Stephen King podcast I searched for, and I haven’t moved on, because it’s exactly what I was looking for - engaging, entertaining hosts who’ve grown up on these books, having smart, funny conversations about the books I grew up on a generation before.

    Still fun if you haven’t read the books, or have no memory of them like me within Insomnia - bought it when it was released, read it, held onto the hardback for several moves… the three episodes did ring a couple bells, but fo... more
