Jesus shoots swords from his mouth, anarchy reigns, and Stephen reminds us to be careful how we portray gay characters in fiction. Join us for part 3, where the story goes deeper and the puns get worse. Thanks to Health Coach Taylor from Mississippi for our first Letter from Beyond.

In part two of our four part series on the Stand, we dive deeper in to the plot, characters, and themes that present in this book. We also hear from psychiatrist Dr. Andy and try desperately not to fumble our mid-show break again (spoiler; we fail).

In this episode, Stephen and Phoenix tackle the first roughly 350 pages of Stephen King's epic behemoth, The Stand! A new Needful Themes format debuts, Stephen struggles to understand Maine, and the boys geek out about music. Happy holidays!

In this episode, we conclude our journey through Stephen King's "The Shining." Our Call from Beyond comes from Megan at the Oh No Lit Class! podcast. Things gets silly, things get emotional, and things get red. Enjoy!

Our first uncut Calls From Beyond is being released as an off-week bonus episode because by golly it's just that good. Phoenix gets in-dept with noted King expert-and-friend Tony Magistrale on The Shining, the genre of Horror, and of course the big man SK himself. Thanks again to Tony for joining us!

In this episode, Stephen and Phoenix tear into one of SK's most beloved books, the Shining. We also discuss the iconic film as well as related imagery, context, and humor. Our Call from Beyond this week is with renowned SK professor Tony Magistrale. The full interview will be available net week on December 5th 2018. Thanks all for listening!

We're talking about vampires, and the stakes are high! Join us for the thrilling conclusion of 'Salem's lot, where the blood flows, the wood burns, and the townspeople scream. Also enjoy Calls from Beyond guest Sam Astle.

On this edition, we jump into the first half of 'Salem's Lot, SK's sophomore novel. Author Ben Mears has decided to move back to his home town, and what he finds there is totally terrifying. Join Phoenix and Stephen as they get into vampires, boob politics, Maine-specific terms, and more!

In our inaugural episode, we address SK's first novel, Carrie. We get into our favorite plot points, some religious conversation, the movie adaptations, and much more.

Here we expand on our Carrie episode with our first bonus content! We discuss Carrie The Musical, which bombed spectacularly for several years and remains a "how did this get made?" mystery in the world of Broadway. Things you'll learn: who Marin Mazzie was (RIP), that Phoenix can't sing, and that there are even worse musicals than Carrie. Thanks y'all for listening!
