UNspoiled! The Dark Tower

There are so many things I want to comment on but if I commented now you’d be like that was 3 years ago. I am rereading DT right now and enjoying having a podcast to listen along with (something not available the first time I read them over a decade ago). Two things that no one cares about now probably but I feel the need to shout about for my own satisfaction. Now that you’ve read them you know the preacher woman scene in Tull is entirely unnecessary and the fact he kept that in the revised version is just so cringe and frustrating I could write an essay about it. Your original take on it in the podcast is right on the money. The other thing is more to your cohost. Not everyone thinks Insomnia is a snooze fest! I know tons of people do but I read that book in a day and I loved that the protagonist is an old man. It seemed fresh and cool to me when I read it. I’m still on the episodes discussing the first book so I’m excited to listen through and hear your final takeaways. Long days and pleasant nights to both of you.

I have followed Natasha for a great number of years, and I follow properties she covers for the mere experience of being able to listen to her podcasts. I was incredibly disappointed, however, when during the last episode covering the song of Susannah, she spends a long time speaking of why widespread murder is the right thing to do. Miles is actually the moderate one in this conversation, attempting to say “well I don’t think it’s very good for the person pulling the trigger” to which she has several arguments of why they should. I never thought, in 2021, it would be necessary to point out why murder, hatred, and violence are not good things. I’m really sad to see her represent some of the same views she once claimed to stand against.

Stumbled across this Dark Tower podcast as I have just reached book 7 and I absolutely adore it. Thank you for sharing it with the world.

I had a great time listening to this podcast! Miles and unspoiled host Natasha provide a hilarious commentary to each volume of the Dark Tower series, as well as spinning off into tangents on other subjects or stories from their personal lives. I had read through the seventh book many years ago, so it was exquisite waiting for Natasha's reaction to some of the most memorable scenes. You won't be disappointed sticking with this podcast to the end!
