Listen Stephen, Stephen Listen

Come on a ride with us this week as we discuss Stephen’s first, and best known, book about an evil car. Let’s cruise.

In this episode, we have quite a time talking about a terrible man trying to win a terrible gameshow, terribly. It’s the Running Man!

Listeners - come in from the cold, join us around the fire, and we shall tell you some tales… this week it's "The Body" and "The Breathing Method" aka Fall From Innocence and A Winter’s Tale.

Welcome to part one of Different Seasons, where we discuss Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption and Apt Pupil. We wish we could say this was a light and breezy start to the book but, unlike Todd Bowden, we do not want to spin an elaborate web of pleasant lies. This is a rough one.

Hey you! Yes, you, over there! Do you want to dress up as a Stephen King-related thing for Halloween? Do you want it to be something that HASN'T been done a million times before? Listen to this episode for 25 funky fresh NEW costume ideas sure to cause thrills, chills, and spills of all kinds!

This week we discuss Cujo, the book that Stephen King does not remember writing. On the surface it's about a rabid dog, but underneath it is a fascinating depiction of addiction that is more complex than we expected.

This episode is, as the kids say, thicc. The book’s got it all: psychics, comas, Maine, a religious fanatic mother, political intrigue, a Jekyll and Hyde mask, uncomfortable sexual politics, a murder mystery, debates about killing Hitler, a charming himbo, a fictional hybrid of the National Enquirer and Weekly World News, and more! How many jokes can we crack about zones? Listen and find out.

As the kids say, "Bro, I'm straight-up not having a good time." This was a rough one.

We made it out of the end times, finally! Welcome to Firestarter, a book about a spooky little girl, a useless but well-meaning father, and a racist caricature of a Native American man.

Not gonna lie, our favorite part of this book was how it wasn't The Stand.

WE DID IT! We finally finished this ding dang book. And to keep things interesting, we have a special guest! We welcome virologist Isabel Ott who starts us off by explaining how viruses actually work. Spoilers: not like Stephen King thinks they do. The episode opens with SCIENCE and our discussion of the book begins at 48:25. Welcome to our longest episode to date, packed to the gills with fresh content for you. We are so tired. But, thankfully, we are also free.
