  • Nerding out

    I’m so excited to be able to nerd out with you for hours about books I’ve loved since I was a kid. It’s wonderful to listen to people who love what I love and understand how beautiful King’s writing really is.

  • Why the politics?

    Came to hear a podcast, tuned out fast when the politics started. Unnecessary.

  • 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.
