The Dark Tower Deep Dive #4 – The Stand (Part Two)

So, the circle closes… for now. Here is the second and final part of our deep dive into Stephen King’s The Stand – the first of many major diversions on our way to The Dark Tower. Last time we introduced the plague and the all-American heroes who survive it; this time we meet some of the weirder folk from the fringes of this apocalypse. And we finally tangle with Randall Flagg, the Dark Man, the Walking Dude – our link to Mid-World and the travails of Roland Deschain. We are loving making this for you. We hope you're enjoying listening.

Nice finish guys!

Nice finish guys!

This episode and the last were just brilliant. The conversation between Neil, Nat, and Chris reminds me of why I've been a Constant Reader for more than 30 years. Their analysis and opinions on "The Stand" are highly enjoyable and eye-opening. Some of their thoughts matched mine, some of them made me think differently about the novel. They definitely make me want to re-read "The Stand" in the near future!
