| 0:00.0 | Long days, pleasant nights, and welcome to Kingslingers, a doof media podcast journeying |
| 0:21.2 | through Stephen King's Dark Tower series and beyond. I am your host, Constant Reader Scott Daly, |
| 0:26.4 | and I will be co-writing this podcast with my co-host, Matt Raymond. |
| 0:30.0 | You might be thinking, won't that make this podcast feel a bit disjointed and awkward? |

| 1:27.0 | Yeah. So hopefully by the end of this podcast, we've completed the puzzle that is the talisman, |
| 1:31.6 | or maybe not. |
| 1:32.8 | I don't know. |
| 1:33.4 | We'll see. |
| 1:34.7 | Before we get into our conversation, though, we just had one quick announcement. |
