Long days, pleasant nights, and welcome to Kingslingers, a Doof Media podcast journeying through Stephen

King's Dark Tower series. As always, my name is Scott Daly, and I'm coming at you live from my

chocolate throne inside my gingerbread house. It's very sticky. And I'm Matt Freeman, leaning precariously

far out on this balcony of the Dark Tower. This week on the show, Ted tells his story, and the beam itself pulls an Oliver twist on the

Katte and asks for some more time.

We're discussing chapters 8, 9, and 10 of Part 2 Blue Heaven.

Matt, what did you think of this week's reading?

I loved it. It's heartbreaking.

There's a lot of great little moments between characters that we're just going to talk about forever.

And, you know, I guess the first thing I'll say is the way we wrapped up the last episode,

I was like, all right, and now we're moving into the big gunfight.

And I kept waiting for that gunfight to start for all chapters 8, 9, and 10, and it never did.

Of course, it's not like I mind because ultimately I realize as we were going, like, okay, we actually needed to set the stakes in place a little bit more

concretely and understand like, okay, well, yeah, and, and, uh, just the character stuff in and of

itself is fun for me. So, yeah, I was very happy with this, this week's stuff. Yeah, I mean,

I'd say this week's reading is more what the dark tower is than the big old gunfights so yeah i mean

they're in there but they're usually very very short too we've we've noticed this so yeah i mean we

have two chapters left in this part right we have chapters 11 and 12 um and so it seems like the

the fight itself is is once again going to be a short part of the whole thing.

Yeah, I think so.

Yeah, I enjoyed reading these a whole bunch.

This was an incredibly busy week for me.
