A Podcast about Stephen King and his books

I've been finding old stories and re-telling them as podcast episodes since 2015. They used to be all over the place, now they're all here (or will be, as I find time to add them). My goal has always been, simply, to catalogue these stories so that they don't get lost. I don't always get the pronunciations right, and the quality of the audio will vary as my skills as an audio engineer varied over the 6-years I've been collecting and retelling these stories. In total there are over 200. Keep your eye on the feed, I'll bulk upload as I find the time to do so.
