  • Great

    This is such a good show. I love King, so it’s a given I love this podcast, but it’s not just all about King. There are varied topics, conversations and guests (special mention to the recent show with Willem Dafoe and Bill Skarsgard, they were such good guests, really cool guys!).

  • Meh

    Some of the interviews are great but multiple episodes have struck me as very unprofessional. There are plenty of horror podcasts for smaller networks that feel more polished than this.
