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 »

Sad it’s ending. I’ll be there for Flannigan’s wake (the book stuff at least).

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 »

I feel lucky to have picked up this podcast at the very beginning. The drawers of this show, Scott and Matt, share a love of story and understanding of its power I never appreciated before this. 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 »

I’m reading the shining parts, and so far you’ve mentioned a couple books you won’t be covering on the pod including rose madder and doctor sleep and I’m wondering why? I was so sad when I heard you won’t be covering doctor sleep, I understand time being a factor. I’m just wonder why you won’t be...Read full review »
FatShadow13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/24
This is by far the best podcast out there. The flow is amazing, going deep into King’s Dark Tower series each episode, making the series so much more understandable and enjoyable! Their friendship, analysis and comedy work so well as a team. Their style of breaking down scenes and sentences,...Read full review »

I have been listening to this podcast for some years and have been a King fan for much much longer. Although knowing many other King fans, I have only ever met one other person IRL who had read the Dark Tower series. Scott, Matt and the Kingslinger community have become my virtually book club. I...Read full review »
GypsyStyling via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/23/24
I found you guys at some point during 2022. I finally caught up live by the end of 11/22/63! I completely loved your journey to the dark tower. It was my third trip and was so glad to join the two of you along the way! All of your reviews are insightful and entertaining. As a matter of fact, I...Read full review »
Leetch_43 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/24
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 »
ElleWoods03 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/17/24
I’ve just discovered this and by chance have just started re-reading the Gunslinger, with the intention to read the entire series again. So much fun to listen to this, especially hearing the predictions from Matt while knowing the ending.
Evansmom1203 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/12/24
My advice is to just enjoy the journey. Thanks for all you do for us constant readers.
Emmy3212 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/24
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.
Xarcara via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/29/24
I first read the first three books of the dark tower in the 1993. I’ve once read the entire series at least a dozen times. Yet never have I known others with who I could discuss it with. So when I came across this podcast, I TOTALLY geeked out and felt as though I’d found a home! I’m listening...Read full review »
Michalatyann via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/21/24
I found this podcast during the first season when they were about 3/4 of the way through. I was able to catch up as they got to the end of the path of the first season, which was my fourth trip to the tower at the time. These guys really helped me re-experienced the tower journey in a deeper...Read full review »

These guys have not forgotten the face of their fathers. Love this podcast.
AJonesAPN via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/10/24
Matt and Scott feel like my friends at this point. Discovered the show in 2020 and it is something I look forward to every week! I am finally at the point where I can read along and it has really deepened my appreciation for Kings work. Mad props and I’m excited to see what they do after this!
InsaneBlindTart via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/22/24
I have loved Stephen King since I was 11 years old but never tackled the Dark Tower until this year. The Kingslingers are a joy to listen to along my Dark Tower journey. They are insightful, funny and keep the conversation moving. I look forward to continuing down the Beam as part of their...Read full review »

Ive just discovered this podcast and im addicted! I decided to reread the dark tower books along with listening to your show. I love the insights and the deep dives as you go chapter by chapter. Im only at the wizard and glass episode and, even a few episodes in, i would definitely recommend this...Read full review »

Finally, I feel I have walked the wheel enough to put to words my appreciation for this show. Scott and Matt have been amazing members of my digital ka tet. All the steps to all the levels of the tower we have walked together have been enjoyable the entire time. I found the podcast about 9...Read full review »

Finally decided to write a review for this podcast. I don’t have a lot of disposable money, but want to give the 5 star review and have shared this podcast multiple times. I have taken the trip to the tower with these two and enjoyed it immensely. I just listened to the live show in Bangor and...Read full review »

long days and pleasant nights. i found your podcast after my first trip to the tower. i was emotionally ravaged by the story and not ready to go back. although i had read much of King before, none of his stories affected me the same. Much like Jake in 11/22/63, i felt exhausted and unable to...Read full review »

Was recommend you guys via the Stephen king Reddit and wow what have I been missing, ! I had never read the dark tower until I was recommended this , using you guys as my Roland leading me through mid world, I read and listened as quick as I could , and because of you guys I also opened up and...Read full review »
7 hot dogs via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/02/24
I’ve listened to all Non-Dark Tower material. These guys are likable enough. They do say “I like that” WAY to much when they don’t know what to say or how to transition. It gets pretty grating. Also, Desperation (interesting choice btw) isn’t a classic because it goes from being an awesome,...Read full review »
CaptainChaz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/26/24
Really enjoying this podcast, thank you for the topics and chats, you have sent me down numerous rabbit holes over the years. I found this podcast in season 1 and it is a regular weekly companion I wouldn’t be without. I’ve always wanted to discuss and analyse King’s books (especially the Tower)...Read full review »
Vixen White via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/02/24
I came to Kingslingers late in the game last summer and decided I wanted to catch up to the current episode, so for the last year, Matt and Scott have been my constant companions. A wonderful, in-depth look at the works of one of my favorite authors, these two keep it lighthearted and funny while...Read full review »
Thrilmathie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/24
Great chemistry and great subject matter - what more could we ask for? We could ask that they stop burning books, for the love of Sai King!!! And that’s how you know it’s a good one - when there are inside jokes in the reviews, your audience is fully engaged. Can’t wait to see them in Bangor for...Read full review »
Clidna via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/23/24
I’ve been a constant listener since the first season and love sharing this show in real life. Matt and Scott have a wonderful chemistry and obvious love for the art of storytelling. Whether you’re a rabid King fan or casually interested, they will enhance your experience with the books they...Read full review »

I’d avoided Dark Tower for years (as I’m no fan of lord of the rings and had heard comparisons) but decided to finally give it a go. Book 1 is indeed a bit of an odd one but now I’m just over half way through book 4 and really enjoying listening to the podcast after I’ve read the appropriate book...Read full review »
somefool via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/17/24
Love this podcast, I’m a constant reader of Stephen King but on my first trip through mid-world. I heard about this podcast through another King podcast and the fact that Matt is on his first read-through meant it was perfect for me as there would be no spoilers. The lads are intelligent and...Read full review »
Celticblue13 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/26/24
I kept reading about this podcast on Reddit, but was skeptical at first. Do I really need to read along with other people? And the first time I heard about it, I’d just finished a re-read. Why start again? I was so wrong. Going through again with Scott and Matt made this umpteenth journey to the...Read full review »
random characters via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/24
Kingslingers stands as a testament to the power of great storytelling and partnership. Matt and Scott’s dynamic is a perfect match for the epic scope of the Dark Tower series and beyond. Their insightful and engaging discussions not only illuminate the path for Constant Readers but also warmly...Read full review »

First I want to say thank you for such a great podcast. I have read the series many times and have been a fan of Stephen King since 1985 when I found It at the library in middle school. I must say you guys really do justice to the Dark Tower series and I look forward to walking with you both to...Read full review »

Great re-visit with these guys through a story I love with lots of additional perspective I didn’t and wouldn’t have seen by myself.
Jct1276 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/24
Matt and Scott are an awesome duo. I just discovered Kingslingers in early 2023 and am currently finishing up my trip to the Tower with them. I have journeyed to the Tower many times on my own but Matt and Scott still make my go “huh” with their take and opinions and views on what it is...Read full review »

I read the dark tower series over 20 years ago and most of other Steven King‘s works as well. I’ve stepped away for a long time and I don’t know why but this show is recommended and I remembered oh I love the dark tower. I listen to the first episode and it was awesomeit brought me right back to...Read full review »

This has become my favorite podcast. Idk if I’ll ever catch up as I found this a few years late but I’m really enjoying the ride so far through the entire dark tower series and now halfway through Salems lot I had to write my review. I wasn’t always a big reader but I think that’s changed now and...Read full review »
Michael Drudi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/24
I’ve been listening since ‘The Waste Lands’ in season 1 and really enjoy the discussion on Dark Tower, the related DT books and the best of King. I save these podcasts for my weekend long run - ‘The Long Walk’ was fun to listen to while training for a race - and the show’s intro theme has become...Read full review »

I struggled with the Gunslinger and someone on Facebook recommended this podcast. It’s awesome. I can’t recommend it enough.

Scott and Matt do an amazing job reviewing each chapter of the Dark Tower series. I just found this podcast and am hooked.

Just starting to re-read this series. It’s like being in a book club. Love it.
pits5 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/08/24
I was in the depths of The Song of Susannah when I began casually listening to this podcast while driving or taking care of house work. It’s been lovely to refresh my memory of the early story while nearing the end of my journey. I love the format of Kingslingers, the high level Nerd-dom and...Read full review »

Any chance we will get a LOTR analysis podcast?
punknerd138 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/30/23
This is a perfect companion to my third journey though the Dark Tower series. I’m only at the start of the Drawing of the Three and this podcast has already deepened my existing deep appreciation of this amazing world that King created.
