“Good lord. Guys, I’ve spent hundreds of hours “with you” over the past 5 years.
You were my intro into the DT universe, and I’ve brought you two on every subsequent trip that I take to the tower these last few years.
Thank you both so much for the rich, thoughtful, and often self deprecating...”Read full review »

“Got to say first, I’ll never read a book the same way again thanks to you guys.
Tower junky here and constant reader since you started this podcast (2020), except i did not know about it until few weeks ago.
My obsession with re-reading and re-listening to the DT book series drove me to look...”Read full review »

Their theory: “the author is a genius and everything is intentional” is so powerful and has changed...”Read full review »

“I found Kingslingers during the pandemic and it remains the definitive podcast on the works of Sai King. Scott and Matt bring intelligence and thought-provoking discussions to each episode, no matter the book. The community built from this series truly defines ka-tet: we are one from many....”Read full review »

“I’ve been a long time listener to two other King podcasts (The Losers Club and The Stephen King Cast) that I have absolutely loved, HOWEVER, the rate at which I consume those episodes pales in comparison to how addicted I am to the guys on Kingslingers.
There’s something so friendly, inviting,...”Read full review »

“The only podcast I’ve ever listened to for more than a few weeks. I found Kingslingers when I went looking for a companion to the Dark Tower books and honestly enjoyed the podcasts more than some (not all) of the books. I then decided to go through all the episodes while rereading the King...”Read full review »

“Here I am at the end of season 2 and realizing I’m not going to catch up before this show ends. This is a wonderful examination of all things king and even made me read some books I have never read of his. I look forward to going into season 3 then onto whatever Matt and Scott decide to do next.”
