Customer Reviews
A Great Podcast
One of my favorite podcasts. These guys are fun to listen to, and aren’t afraid to criticize King when it is warranted. I marathoned through all of the dark tower books, and I am excited to listen to more.
Love the Podcsat
This is the 1st Stephen King podcast that I have ever listened to, you guys do a great job with helping me to better understand the King Universe.
Call it Ka
Call it Ka, or just a waystation on my path to the clearing at the end, but when I finished reading Dark Tower and needed somewhere to turn, a beam to follow, something drew me to TGTTDTC and it was the right choice. You say true. I say thankya.
