This is the first podcast I have tried out and I'm lucky to have stumbled onto a great one. Both hosts are thoughtful, entertaining, and give me lots to think about that I never considered before.

Thoughtful, funny, great entertainment!!!

This podcast is just "OK". Constant Readers will find the mispronouncing of names and forgetfulness of entire plotlines extremely frustrating. The chemistry between the hosts is also just ok. They have been longtime friends but that doesn't seem to translate to the podcast nor does the listener feel invited in. The transition between segments seem forced and jumbled. Maybe a reorganization of what segments go where will help? They seem to spend a lot of time explaining the plot with very little insight. If you've been through all the other Stephen King podcasts and want another one, this one is just ok.
