Not was I was looking for in a series podcast

Came to this podcast hoping for more insights on the lore of Derry. Stephen King built a complicated world in IT and other series like the shining and I was looking to this podcast to explore those connections. I appreciated the access to directors, etc. But the commentary was more focused on social issues and other interactions. While interesting, I think the show writers did a good job of expressing the social issues in itself so I wasn’t looking for that in a Welcome to Derry podcast.

I listened to the first two episodes of this podcast and then I stopped and found content I wanted elsewhere, so maybe it got better in later episodes.
