I love listening to three knowledgeable people who have read the book and help pick it apart, digging deep and laughing. Or rolling their eyes at some of the endearing King-isms. A must listen, and yes, I have listened to every episode. Five out of five blue chambray shirts.

I am so happy to have found this podcast. I absolutely love reading and Stephen King is one of my all time favorite authors. listening to the podcast is like reading your favorite book and then having three other people to talk about it with. The three hosts do such a good job of expressing the thoughts I myself had while reading the books. Plus, they pick up and point out things I never noticed even after multiple times reading the books. This podcast has boosted an already high love of reading and has inspired me to read as much as possible so I can listen to more episodes. Wonderful job guys I appreciate you.

More please!

Intelligent and funny, enlightening and entertaining, charismatic and friendly, these folks are all of these things. Josh, Ben and C.M. are clearly close friends talking about their favorite things. Their personalities come through so much they feel like they're my friends. That's most likely because they are also the most accessible podcasters I know of. They always interact with all of their fans, because they truly appreciate their fans. The Kingcast may be the biggest Stephen King podcast, but Derry Public Radio is by far the best!

I love listening in on this podcast and agreeing with them about how awesome King is!!
My only gripe is the volume setting on each person. I can hardly ever heard the woman, so I turn it up, and then a guy speaks or laughs and it blows out my speaker and my 4 year old in the back seat is yelling at me to turn it down!!! I just want to hear them all equally

Love the content

I found this podcast and fell in love with these three “Constant Readers.” They examine our favorite Author’s works in a thoughtful yet fun way that makes me feel like I’m reading the books again with a new eye. I have been binge-listening and am not looking forward to catching up to the current episodes because I will have fewer to listen to. Five out of five blue chambray shirts.
