The best podcast about Stephen King

Found these guys right after finishing my first run to the Tower in the thick of Covid. They make my daily commute so much better. Their other stuff is great, too. Doof Media has not forgotten the face of their father.

Terrific

I love listening to these. The Dark Tower books are so special to me, I’ve traveled the path of the beam several times but never really had a friend to discuss it with. I mean, I have friends, they just don’t wanna read 5,000 pages of literature with me LOL. So it’s really awesome to just listen to discussions about my favorite series.
One critique that just drives me crazy is the usage of the word “sure”. It’s beyond excessive, and of course it’s an insignificant gripe… but I do highly discourage anyone to play a drinking game in which you take a drink every time they say it… because you will die.
Other than that, these guys are awesome and intelligent and fun… I really did enjoy it.

A must for Stephen King fans

This podcast adds so much pleasure to my commute! I don't know anyone that will talk Dark Tower with me. Listening to this makes me feel like I'm in the perfect book club. They even do a weekly discussion question so you can interact with other listeners. Very funny and interesting!

He who speaks without an attentive ear is mute.

In a word, delicious. Not only do these two hosts provide amazing content through Kingslingers and multiple other shows, the interaction with listeners is top notch. They really do the journey with you.
I found this podcast while on my 6th journey to the Tower and so many things were uncovered still. I learned more about literature and this series than I ever would have gleaned on my own. I'm on my 7th turn of the wheel and my 2nd re-listen of this podcast, which is as enjoyable as doing the book series again. We've all come so far since '19 and this quarantine ka-tet has gotten a lot of us through some weird times.
If you enjoy this show, don't hesitate to explore the rest of Doof Media. I've read books and watched movies solely to listen to Book Club and Doof Cast episodes. and Matt, I even watched Buffy during the Salem's Lot read through. You're missing out on some foundational television for sure without Buffy.
love you guys! Please don't burn any King books from the reading list!

Long day and pleasant nights

When you want to nerd out on something and that something is too obscure that that you don’t have anyone to nerd out with in this level of the tower.

Don't pass this podcast up!

In general podcasts are not something I was ever really interested in. As a long time king fan and tower junkie I decided a couple of years ago to sign up for audible and make my way through the king universe via audio book. I happened to stumble upon this pod cast and almost passed it up thinking that I couldn't possibly be interested in hearing anyone talk about a book I've just listened to. I'm so glad I gave it a chance because it has been an awesome experience reading and reviewing along side these guys. I've finally just got caught up and am excited to get into IT with the katet. long days and pleasant nights my friends ! let's float!

Exactly what I was looking for

So much fun to listen to other people talk about the dark tower series. Helped me see things I didn't when reading.
