| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to the Stephen King cast, one man's musings on the works of Stephen King. |
| 0:06.2 | Once I reviewed each of his works in the chronological order of publication, but Ka is a wheel. |
| 0:11.5 | It all goes round again. |
| 0:13.1 | And here I am, once more on a new phase of the journey, one to examine each of the endings of the works of Stephen King, to determine whether or not |
| 0:22.8 | King deserves his reputation for having an inability to successfully land his endings. |
| 0:29.2 | The focus of the podcast is now to examine the climax, falling action, and resolution of the |

| 0:39.8 | to determine whether or not it meets the criteria of being an objectively good ending. |

| 1:26.4 | to record some thoughts from a Buick 8. |
| 1:29.4 | To say hi, I would feel really bad if I wasn't able to get at least one episode out before the |
| 1:38.4 | conclusion of 2021. I really like this time of year, and it's a time of year where I just, I like to just say thank you to everyone that has ever listened to this podcast. |
| 1:50.3 | And if you are tuning in for the first time, welcome, welcome, everyone. |
| 1:54.7 | There are a ton of episodes that I have recorded over the last six, seven years, however long this podcast has been on. |
