    Episode 170 - The Man in the Black Suit - “Wonderfully Awful Noises”
    Nov 9 2024
    This week on Derry Public Radio, we dive into "The Man in the Black Suit" from Stephen King's "Everything's Eventual". Join CM, Josh, and Eve as they unravel the chilling tale of Gary, a man in his nineties reflecting on a terrifying encounter from his childhood. They discuss the haunting presence of the devil, the significance of faith and chance, and the eerie atmosphere of 1914 Motton. Delve into the psychological horror as they explore Gary's struggle with the memory of the devil and the existential dread that lingers with him. The hosts also draw parallels to other King works, such as "The Outsider" and "Revival", and share their thoughts on the impact of short stories. Brace your ears for a spine-tingling chill on Episode 170, "Wonderfully Awful Noises".

  • Episode 169 – Pet Sematary: Bloodlines - “Micmac Paddy Whack”

    Episode 169 – Pet Sematary: Bloodlines - “Micmac Paddy Whack”
    Oct 28 2024
    This week Derry Public Radio revisits the world of "Pet Sematary" with a dive into the recent adaptation, "Pet Sematary: Bloodlines". Join CM, Josh, and Eve as they dissect this prequel to the 2019 remake. Listen in as they explore the film's attempt to expand on Jud Crandall's backstory, the missed opportunities in storytelling, the strange motivations behind the characters, and the film's struggle to capture the essence of King's work. They also discuss the film's lack of emotional depth compared to the original source material and its failure to deliver on the promise of a compelling prequel. Amidst the critique, the hosts share their own creative pitches for stories within the "Pet Sematary" universe. Our dad is keeping us out of Vietnam for Episode 169, "Micmac Paddy Whack".

    Episode 168 – DPR Revisited: Pet Sematary - “Wendigo Tabs”
    Oct 13 2024
    This week DPR launches the debut of “DPR Revisited”! Thank you to Toni Horstman for the Patreon selection of “Pet Sematary”. Join in as we discuss how the book has changed for us in the 5 years since we first read it, how hard Eve and Josh were on Louis the first time, parental panic becoming relatable, our hate for Rachel’s dad, digging deeper into the Wendigo, Louis’ burden of knowledge, Norma’s secrets, and some goofs to lighten the mood. We’re digging up some old takes on Episode 168, “Wendigo Tabs”. If you’d like us to Revisit your favorite book, sign up at www.patreon.com/derrypublicradio to find out how!

Book Club with friends? Yes, please!

I love listening to three knowledgeable people who have read the book and help pick it apart, digging deep and laughing. Or rolling their eyes at some of the endearing King-isms. A must listen, and yes, I have listened to every episode. Five out of five blue chambray shirts.

More please!

I am so happy to have found this podcast. I absolutely love reading and Stephen King is one of my all time favorite authors. listening to the podcast is like reading your favorite book and then having three other people to talk about it with. The three hosts do such a good job of expressing the thoughts I myself had while reading the books. Plus, they pick up and point out things I never noticed even after multiple times reading the books. This podcast has boosted an already high love of reading and has inspired me to read as much as possible so I can listen to more episodes. Wonderful job guys I appreciate you.

Great podcast, error on audible

The podcast itself is great and very engaging. I can't seem to play on audible but recommend listening elsewhere.

The best Stephen King podcast

Intelligent and funny, enlightening and entertaining, charismatic and friendly, these folks are all of these things. Josh, Ben and C.M. are clearly close friends talking about their favorite things. Their personalities come through so much they feel like they're my friends. That's most likely because they are also the most accessible podcasters I know of. They always interact with all of their fans, because they truly appreciate their fans. The Kingcast may be the biggest Stephen King podcast, but Derry Public Radio is by far the best!

Love the content

I love listening in on this podcast and agreeing with them about how awesome King is!!
My only gripe is the volume setting on each person. I can hardly ever heard the woman, so I turn it up, and then a guy speaks or laughs and it blows out my speaker and my 4 year old in the back seat is yelling at me to turn it down!!! I just want to hear them all equally
