The Cast of Ka - Stephen King's The Dark Tower Fan Podcast

On this episode of The Cast of Ka, we discuss The Waste Lands – Book Two: Lud – A Heap of Broken Images – Chapter 5 – Bridge and City 31-40. It’s the penultimate episode for book three and, no surprise, things are getting action-packed (and perhaps even a bit Lovecraftian?) beneath the city of Lud. Blaine shows his true homicidal colors and we get the most touching moment in the books so far. Also, a villain returns.

For all this and more, listen to The Cast of Ka: Episode 35.

Roland and the gang’s attempt to make it safely into the City of Lud takes a major (Gasher-related) detour, the God Drums are revealed, and we discover things are rotten (and smelling of cinnamon) in this Mid-World metropolis. Also, Oy continues to be a total MVP.

On this episode of The Cast of Ka, we discuss The Waste Lands – Book Two: Lud – A Heap of Broken Images – Chapter 4 – Town and Ka-Tet 11-25, which basically just recaps everything that has come before, but still manages to give us some interesting new character moments — including Roland 2.0.

This section also gives us the lowdown on Blaine the Mono, Midworld’s very own Charlie the Choo Choo that breaks the sound barrier and may still be running if they can get to it before Jake gets spotted by some Pubes. Yeah, so nothing to worry about here. Ahem.

On this episode of The Cast of Ka, we discuss The Waste Lands – Book Two: Lud – A Heap of Broken Images – Chapter 4 – Town and Ka-Tet 1-10, which introduces the most important character in all of literary history: Oy! This is great timing, because we also have to discuss the latest news on Amazon’s Dark Tower series, which is there’s no Amazon Dark Tower series. Sigh. Highs and lows this week, folks.

This chapter also gives us unique insight into what it really means to be a gunslinger, Roland cracks some solid jokes, and we finally get some history of why the world “moved on.”

On this episode of The Cast of Ka, we discuss The Waste Lands – Book One Jake – Fear In A Handful of Dust – Chapter 3 – Door & Demon 26-44, which just so happens to feature one of the most iconic scenes from the the book series. So, what I am saying is, prepare for Rachel and Deejay to geek all the way out on this one. We talk metaphorical birth scenes, debate how door demons work, and even get a little biblical up in here. We also read some amazing listener mail that totally changed how Rachel sees the DT universe.

On this episode of The Cast of Ka, we discuss The Waste Lands – Book One Jake – Fear In A Handful of Dust – Chapter 3 – Door & Demon 16-25, and folks, it’s a real roller coaster. The highs are so high and the lows, whoa, are they low. We talk hungry houses, Henry’s emo phase, and get very exited about the beating drums in the distance. We also have to reckon with one of the most troubling scenes in the series. So, yeah, like I said, we really go on a ride with this episode.

We also catch up on all the Amazon series news that we’ve missed and learn of Deejay’s aversion to all things bolo tie.

On this episode of The Cast of Ka, we discuss The Waste Lands – Book One Jake – Fear In A Handful of Dust – Chapter 3 – Door & Demon 1-15. And folks, the most important thing in the entire series happened: We met billy bumblers. Sure, the existence of all living things throughout the entire multiverse hangs in the balance, but let’s be real. Billy. Bumblers.

We also talk about Eddie’s nervous breakdown, the effect that childhood has had on our heroes, the bonding effect of literally taking a stroll through someone’s mind, and why this chapter proves exactly why The Dark Tower is not your standard run of the mill fantasy epic. We get our first *gasp* bad review and Rachel also gets very cranky about things to come.
