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

My name is Constant Reader Scott Daly.

And Scott said, gesturing to his co-host, this is Matt Freeman.

Matt replied in a sick, congested voice.

And I'm Matt Freeman.

Wide shot.

Cut to a shot of dense forest.

Wait, what?

Voiceover. Scott, voiceover oh oh um okay this week susanna's song reach stands uh reaches stanza's eight and nine it's a it's an eddie packed

episode mat we're in ed Eddie's perspective for both of these

chapters as he is dealing with his new friend, John Cullum, and his old enemy, Calvin Tower. Matt,

what did you think about this week's reading? You know, when I think it over, this reading felt

like a lot of valuable connective tissue, a lot of conversations that needed to be had,

nothing that I would call wildly exciting.

You know, there's no gunfights or castle top negotiations this week.

But as I went through my notes, I realized there's still a lot in here to talk about. Like even when King has slowed down and sort of, you know,

taking care of the precise bits of the story that need to be done in order. And with deliberation, he's still putting in a lot of, you know, taking care of the precise bits of the story that need to be done in order.

And with deliberation, he's still putting in a lot of stuff for you to talk about and think about

and to entertain you in other ways.

So that was cool.

Definitely.

I mean, I know at the very beginning of this, you kind of speculated that this is going to be the Susanna book.
