  • Stephen King's Carrie at 50
    Apr 5 2024
    Fifty years ago today, Stephen King published his first novel, Carrie. A lot has changed since 1974 -- the world, the culture, King himself -- and yet his debut novel pervades. Half a century later, Carrie has become a trope, a story we all think about when we see the curious kid in the corner. It's been adapted, emulated, and influenced countless cultural moments. Carrie White lives. Today, the Losers gather for their very first Twinner episode, which sees all your favorite co-hosts who weren't on the original book episode getting a chance to record their own. To celebrate the major milestone in King's Dominion today, co-hosts Jenn Adams, Rachel Reeves, Ashley Casseday, and Mel Kassel gathered around the mic and recorded their own thoughts.

Too much talk about nothing....

I listened to the podcast episode of Desperation 1 & 2. I understand discussing what you read, but I felt like it turned into a "let's see if we can out talk each other".

Great to listen to people dork out on King

This is the perfect podcast to listen to if you love reading Stephen King and don't have enough people to talk to about his books! Have you have found yourself at the end of a four day binge after reading some eight-hundred page behemoth that ends with some bizarre rant about women's lib and a hijacked airplane flown into a building full of people and thought to yourself, "I wonder what someone else thought of that crazy ending."? I've found listening to these fellow nerds (I mean that as a compliment of coarse) prattle on about Kings novels after having gorged on them myself both quite rewarding and helpful for the digestive track that is my mind. I downloaded audible to listen to some audiobooks while on a car drive and have since cancelled it due to the fact that I enjoy reading my books the old fashioned way (even if by kindle sometimes). Despite cancelling my subscription to audible I have not uninstalled it from my phone because of this very podcast. Thanks constant losers.

Fun to listen to, lots of long episodes

I usually listen to this in the car, and sort of like King's books, I love the long episodes.

some of them might have read the book?

I think that their reviews are shallow and full of pop culture stuff that has no relevance in conversations about King's works. Very little depth of discussion as of roughly episode 10 but they seem to enjoy each other's company, so can't give them less than 2 stars.
