The hosts go into great detail for the books they're covering and analyze the text as well as give their thoughts on it.

You say true, I say thank you.

Scott and Matt are awesome. I'm not that into podcasts in general, but this came up as a recommendation after I listened to one of TDT titles for the umpteenth time. I return to the series from time to time just to hang out with the Ka-tet. This podcast was a delightful discovery and I binged the 1st season. Listening to them deconstruct and discuss TDT was so much fun and more than a little enlightening. They illuminate aspects I'd never picked up before on during my many, many trips to the Tower and I now see it in new ways. Give these guys a listen. They're smart, insightful and funny. Scott's love for the series mirror my own and I love experiencing it vicariously through Matt who's on his first trip. I've got a long way to go to catch up to them in real time but these back episodes proved to be real gems.

Excellent podcast!

listening to more as I type. Unless one of them whispers 19 I to Nort's ear and they go instantly insane, I have high hopes. If that does happen, I have even higher hopes.

loving it so far guys!

Sadly, none of my friends ever were willing to read this series. So all my thoughts about the Dark Tower have had to ferment in the back of my mind until I heard this podcast. I was amazed even after re-reading all the books; I've learned new things and had new insights into the mind of Stephen King and the multi-universe of the Dark Tower thanks to this podcast. I’m looking forward to every episode of this show!

Waiting for this podcast for years!

I remember just skimming over the judge, jury, executioner style of character that the gunslinger brings to this book because it all made sense in the end...this close read has me taking some uncomfortable looks at what I saw as entertainment/journey creation 20 years ago.

I have a feeling I going to fall just as much in lobe with this close read process with Matt and Scott as I am with these books.

Oh the badass-ness!!!

These guys are amazing! I felt like I was sitting around talking with old friends about a book that we all love! I love all the little insights...and I've read the series 7 times through! Can't say enough good things!

AMAZING!
