On this episode of The Cast of Ka, things are starting to look up for our favorite dead-but-also-not-dead kiddo, Jake, as he may finally be back on the path of Ka (you can tell because towers are popping up everywhere!).

We talk about the serious business of riddles, weird dudes playing tic-tac-toe, and dig deep into some seriously cool ka-tet dream crossovers. We round out the show with a discussion of the latest Dark Tower series news. Folks, we have a new Roland and Marten and a lot of feelings about it all, join us as we process.

On this episode of The Cast of Ka, we take a major detour from the path of the beam as we wander the Waste Lands of Stephen King’s Dark Tower series —and end up all the way back in NYC with return of our beloved character Jake! Unfortunately for this dead (but also not dead) kid, he’s having a full mental breakdown while he desperately tries to find a way back to Mid-world.

We talk time travel, space hernias, Jake’s two very different father figures, and close out the show with our thoughts on the latest news about the much anticipated Dark Tower series coming to Amazon!

On this episode of The Cast of Ka, the journey through the Waste Lands takes a dreamy detour and we get very excited about what it all means for the future of our Ka-tet!

We talk about strange fireside chats, Eddie leveling up, alternate dimension pie, and those oh-so-creepy crimson eyes in the sky!

Once again, we stumbled upon some interesting foreshadowing in this chapter that required a special end of the episode spoiler section. So, if this isn’t your first journey through Mid-World, be sure to stick around.
