long days, pleasant nights, and welcome to Kingslingers, a doof media podcast journeying through Stephen King's Dark Tower series and beyond.

I am your host, Constant Reader Scott Daly, and joining me, as always, comatose and riding on the back of my 30-year-old bicycle.

It's Matt Freeman. How's it going today, Matt?

This is really scary. I'm fully awake. Well, you know what they say. There's no such
