This is a podcast based on a short story. I really should not be adding it to my 2022 list. Unless a podcast is super long and time consuming, I normally do not add them. But, since I endured this thing to the end, it's going on here. I endured it while I was pulling weeds and weed whacking. I hate whacking weeds.

Why do I make myself finish Stephen King stuff? Why? Someday my eyes are going to get stuck in the back of my head from the rolling. This was no different. From the cardboard cut, idiotic characters (including the always present pre-Carrie King in the story) to the screeching anachronisms (is this the 70s or the 50s?). I gritted my teeth and endured.

Then came the last episode and reveal. WTF. I should have taken out the ear buds much, much sooner.

As an aside, there was nothing wrong with the voice actors or the sound production. They were good, in fact. I wish I could rate this higher, but this is GoodReads, not a podcast site. The story and script was just bad, bad, bad.

I pulled out a piece of whacking string from my pants yesterday. I have a scratch and bruise that will leave a scar. Maybe I'll look at it when I am tempted to read or listen to another King piece. ( )
