In this special edition of The Under The Dome Podcast I discuss my thoughts on the book that inspired the hit CBS TV show of the same name. I give you my thoughts on Stephen King as an author and some of his books I’ve read. I then discuss my take from comparing the book to the show and how glad I am that I waited until after season 1 to read the book. I try to keep this episode of the podcast spoiler free but that all depends on your definition of what a spoiler is.

I hope to hear from you we watch season 2 . Join in the conversation by sending me your thoughts and theories.
