I’ve watched and read many of Steven King’s works. I just finished the entire Dark Tower series. Feeling like I wanted more I looked in Podcasts and found this. Very happy with the result, it scratches that feeling for more itch and love listening to your deep dives. Just finished your first episode and strapped in for the rest. Keep up the good work.

I just finished my 7th trip to the tower and as usual was feeling a sense of “book-hole” where I was wondering what the heck to do with my life now that my journey was done. And then I found this podcast. I have binged this so hard, and am flying through these episodes in awe, wonder, and some actual laughing out loud. I love all the insights Scott and Matt have to offer, far beyond what my brain would have ever come up with on its own. This podcast has brought a whole

Greetings fellow Constant Readers.
My wife Louise first introduced me to Sai King many moons ago and more recently, to your podcast. I’d just re-read The Dark Tower series, so used your podcast to get a better understanding of the themes whilst it was still fresh, and I’m now hooked.
I’m enjoying season 2 at present - up to Low Men - and following your request for reviews, thought I’d send one in now and hope to hear you read it in a couple of years, when I finally catch up.
You guys are ... more

I take a journey to the tower every year, but now I go with Matt and Scott. Just finished listening to the series and Kingslingers Season 1. Now I am ready to read along with them again for Season 2 and 3. I find myself looking forward to Matt’s reaction to a scene as I’m reading and sharing Scott’s love as a Constant Reader. These guys will be your best friends on your journey. If you love the Dark Tower and Stephen King, don’t be overwhelmed with all the pop casts out there. This is the one t... more

Well, I just binge-read/listened to the entirety of the Dark Tower series for the first time. It’s my husband’s favorite series King, and I decided I needed to know it. I was not disappointed! Now that it’s finished, I am missing the characters like friends who are gone. I searched for a podcast that would dive into the details of the series, one that would open my mind to the subtext and detail that i surely missed. This podcast has done all of that! I love that Matt is a newbie like me. It’s b... more
