The Year of Underrated Stephen King

What happens when you combine the unrestrained enthusiasm of a Constant Reader with the intelligence and insight of a fiction writing professor? Kim C.’s podcast happens! I’ve listened since the early days of this show and it just keeps getting better. Oh, and she has the best music of any podcast I’ve heard. King fans will love this.

Recently met Kim at a fundraiser where we discussed our shared love of Stephen King. Enjoyed the first episode and will keep listening!

I have listened to 32 episodes of this podcast. My guess is that’s close to 50 hours of listening to Kim C. gush about Stephen King. She is delightful! Don’t let the “lecture style” part of the description fool you. It’s really more of a conversational style with just one person talking. When I listen to this podcast I always envision myself in a cozy room with a group of fellow SK fans listening to Ms. C. talk about the current SK book while holding a half-empty glass of wine. What other lecturer would address us as “loveys” or “my guys?” She’s not afraid to share a bit of her personal life either, if it helps us understand her reaction to the book. Oh yes, she supplies educated literary analysis and insight but it’s leavened with so much humor and love for SK. I’ve listened to many different SK podcasts but this one is a cut above!

I found this podcast after listening to another horror podcast and find this one which just deals with King books just brilliant. If you are fan of Kings work whether it be written or adapted I would highly recommend you give this podcast a listen. It will enhance you’re enjoyment of the source material for sure. Well worth your time.
