“I've listened to some other fictional podcasts that I enjoyed, but this one is just so bad, I'm on episode 5 and just can't listen anymore.
The title character (the male reporter, I don't even know his name after five episodes) delivers the dialogue with the same affect, whether he's speaking to his fiance or discovering a severed hand in a box. The sound effects - particularly the sound that is used to differentiate between spoken dialogue and the many, many inner monologues - are so grating and distracting and give the whole thing a very corny vibe.
The story in general is also just kind of ridiculous. Hard to believe it's Stephen King! Maybe in print it was less so, but in this format I just can't get behind any of it. Sorry to say but I cannot recommend this one.”Read full review »
