  • The Babe Ruth of Steven King Podcasts

    That occasionally hits themselves in the nuts when they have to rate Uncle Steve’s obsession with so-so Dad-Rock.

    I like to consider these as a delightful personal pizza from Charles Entertainment Cheese in podcast form for completing a King work. Sometimes even getting a little vindication for working through an almost DNF like [insert your least favorite doorstopper that the subreddit inexplicably loves]

  • This show turned me into a meme

    Longtime reader of Uncle Steve here; my first was The Dark Half back in the late 1900s when I was in middle school. Friends, I have never listened to a podcast that has made me do the “Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the TV” motion more. Haven’t been doing it as much lately because they’re getting into books

    I haven’t read yet, but I always appreciate when someone else catches something in the Kingiverse that I thought I was the only one who ever noticed. My only complaint is that we didn’t hear m... more
