  • Great hang out podcast

    Big fan of this even though I think the last SK book I read was mr mercedes. The books seemed to be getting longer and the cocaine fury had long gone. Even the pound cake was getting a wee bit stale.

    Every member of the crew seems unfairly witty and I’ve cracked up multiple times (Jen’s off the cuff description of the hypothetical progeny of Danny Shining and Charlie Firestarter as "just a ball of light” had me snuffling into my Waitrose organic ham pea and asparagus quiche)

  • Boring!

    One of the podcast host said not to get too off, I’m assuming he’s staying off subject. It’s past that you’re talking about everything else and wanting to get on topic about what the headline of the podcast is a good 40 minutes into the podcast…. Waiting for the garbage truck to come is more entertaining.

  • Almost great, but Randall talks too much

    I really enjoy a lot of the convos on this podcast and I love that they have a large coterie of amazing writers and King fans.

But when Randall is on an episode he just consistently talks over everyone and shuts people down when they try to interject on him and even seems to move on the podcast immediately after he has said his piece. It feels many times like he barely listens to h... more
