Please stop talking about social media, I’m begging you
Overall, this is a good podcast. If you like King, you’ll probably like the show. That being said, the hosts somehow consistently manage to mention Twitter or some other social media platform within the first few minutes of the show on every single episode and the conversation never leads anywhere interesting. You could make a drinking game out of it that would kill even the most seasoned alcoholic. How many times with how many different guests do we need to hit the same handful of talking points about the downfall of Twitter? It has zero to do with the podcast’s subject matter and no guest has ever managed to say anything interesting about the state of social media post-pandemic. And yet this seems to be one of the host’s favorite topic of discussion, much more so than anything Stephen King ever wrote. If you’re listening to the show right now as you’re reading this I can pretty much guarantee you will be hearing the words Twitter, Elon Musk, social media, or references to X, the site formerly known as Twitter if you haven’t already heard them. Seriously though, Gen Xers are having a really tough time with the breakdown of Twitter, I get it, but please find something else to talk about or maybe start another podcast that’s about how Twitter used to be a fun place to hang out and make business connections until the Tesla guy ruined it for you.

Well researched with real and engaging conversations. No over the top hosting and fake personality-nerd pandering here. Just an honest, in-depth discussion and deep dive into each of Stephen King’s works. A must listen with some fantastic guests!
