  • Grateful for The Losers!

    I’ve listened to almost every episode in the catalogue, and cannot recommend this show enough for King fans.

    Are the episodes long? Yes. Are there a few tangents here and there? Of course. But after a few episodes it doesn’t matter because you’ve found a new group of King friends to hang out with.

    Looking forward to more Hollywood King and The Stacks, at least until the next book!

  • Meh

    It would be nice if we could just have a podcast about books and leave politics out of it. Some of us read as a form of escapism and it would be nice to listen to this podcast for the same purpose. I was so excited to find it initially but I’m over it.
