Founded in 2017, The Losers’ Club® is an award-winning weekly series that chronologically digs through the work of Stephen King with humor, irreverence, and a critical eye. Each episode, the Losers gather together to read between the iconic pages and share the latest in King’s Dominion, whether it’s the author’s oft-controversial tweets, the boldest Hollywood headlines, or his endless forthcoming projects. The series also regularly features special guests. In the past, the Losers have spoken to Mike Flanagan, Thomas Jane, Tananarive Due, Chapo Trap House, Owen Teague, Mick Garris, Mary Lambert, Jerry O’Connell, Wil Wheaton, Joe Bob Briggs, and even King himself.

Suitable for readers both Constant and casual. King says check us out.

Edited by Kyle Orozovich. Music by The Most/Charlie Laurence. Produced by Michael Roffman and Randall Colburn.

The Losers' Club: A Stephen King Podcast

Dark Tower Detour is a chance for Gunslingers to study the minutiae of Roland Deschain’s epic quest. Hosted by Dan Pfleegor and Dan Caffrey, this exclusive series will cover a range of topics that interest those who remember the face of their father. No character is too small. No detail too obscure. And no theory too foreboding as we march closer to the Dark Tower at the center of all creation. In this episode, which was recorded in February 2022, your intrepid hosts Dan Pfleegor and Dan Caffrey will speak with Richard Chizmar about the newly released Gwendy's Final Task. Together, they discuss the Gwendy Peterson Trilogy's connections to The Tower, what it's like to team up with America's most prolific author Stephen King, and just who exactly is the mysterious Richard Farris. It should be noted that the first half of this interview is spoiler free. We'll share a warning before the second half delves deeper into spoiler territory and Tower lore. Happy trails, gunslinger.

Together, they return to familiar locales like Castle Rock and Derry before leaving our atmosphere for adventures beyond their wildest imagination. Beware of spoilers for The Dark Tower series.
