543 - Stephen King

Stephen King is one of the best selling authors in history and over 100 of his stories have been adapted for the screen. It, Carrie, Cujo, The Green Mile, Pet Sematary, The Shawshank Redemption, Salem's Lot, Stand By Me, Misery, The Mist, The Shining... King's work is intrinsic to popular culture. On this episode we look at the man dubbed "The King of Horror" and try to find out what makes him tick.

This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 10:16 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
