I love the format of this podcast. I'm just getting into the vast world of Stephen King and I have really enjoyed listening to Kim C. and her literary perspective.

Kim C's one-woman show provides incredible, classroom style analysis of my favorite author of all time, Stephen King. Her critical analysis and thoughtful perspectives have helped me gain a better understanding of why I love his writing so much and a greater appreciation for the literary (and less literary) aspects of his writing. I highly recommend this podcast if you have any interest in Stephen King or trying to find a place to start in his overwhelming catalog, you could not find a better private tutor than Kim C to guide your way.

Love this show! Enhanced this Constant Readers love for King!

I am a big fan of Matt and Tiny's Tower Junkies and learned of this podcast from Kim's guest spots on that.I love the way she breaks down these books and gives her her very intelligent insight when discussing them.It really gives a each book,which most I've read or listened to multiple times,a fresh new perspective that I really enjoy,I really love the discussions she has with Matt and Tiny and hope that becomes a regular occurrence,I love to see the excitement these books bring to them as they have me for many years.Its also great to see Kim,a fairly new Stephen King reader, discovering these treasures one by one.Cant wait for you to finish Dark Tower series!!!Thanks so much for what you do.

Awesome Podcast

Kim does a great job of breaking down some underlying themes in the stories I have read and re-read. I love her opinions on the things she loves and doesn't love about each book, and I am usually in full agreement ! Keep up the great work Kim !

amazing academic approach !
