| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone, welcome to the Stephen King cast, one man's musings on the works of Stephen King. |
| 0:04.7 | Once I reviewed each of his works in the chronological order of publication, but Ka is a wheel, |
| 0:09.3 | it all goes round again, and here I am once more on a new phase of the journey to examine each of the endings of the works of Stephen King, |
| 0:16.0 | to determine whether or not King deserves his reputation for having an inability to successfully land his endings. |
| 0:21.6 | The focus of the podcast will be to examine the climax following action and resolution of the endings to each of his novels and break it down by character's themes, conflict, and plot. |
| 0:29.6 | To determine whether or not it meets the criteria of being an objectively good ending, I'll also weigh in on whether or not it happened to like the ending. And today, |

| 1:31.3 | The yellow card man is to be given half dollar. Who's on the half? |
| 1:35.3 | Kennedy! In the 50s, the halves would have borne the portrait of Franklin. |
| 1:40.3 | Further, the coins would have been silver, not the copper nickel we have now. |
| 1:43.3 | I know I'm being a coin nerd, but I figured if you have an inconsistency file, you could make an addition to it. |
| 1:49.0 | Have a great day. And when can respect a review of Billy Summers? |
