Hello everyone and welcome to the Stephen King cast, one man's musings on the works of Stephen King.

Each week I review one entry in the bibliography of Stephen King in the chronological order of publication.

This week I took a break from the books in order to slog through the adaptation of Firestarter.

I'm going to get to that in a little bit, but first, I want to start off positive, and I want to read some listener emails.

But honestly, everybody, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for writing in, for liking the page on Facebook, for the iTunes reviews, and just all the likes and comments on Instagram, on Tumblr, on Pinterest.

As of right now, the podcast has had almost 1,500 listens, and it hasn't even been two months yet.

The podcast has been heard in 16 different countries and 33 different states.

You know, to me, who expected at the most maybe one listener, this is a huge success.

So honestly, honestly, seriously, just thank you.

Thank you everybody for listening.

And just so you know, by the time you're listening to this, these numbers might have increased. When I first sat down

and started recording before I even published the first episode, I made sure that I had eight

episodes in the can ready to go because I knew that with a project of this scale, I wasn't

going to be able to read a book in a week. I needed to give myself

a lot of lead time. So, you know, just, just as of right now, I, I had put up the night shift review,

and that referred in the night shift review. I talked about Randall Flag and the celebrity

casting that maybe Matthew McConaughey might play Randall Flag in the

adaptation of the stand. And I said in the podcast, I said last night, the news hit and the news

hit in mid to late August. So it's almost October now by the time I'm recording. And it just,

and the podcast just dropped about six days ago.

So I think that kind of gives you an idea of when these are being recorded and when they're

being put out.
