Randall Colburn and Michael Roffman. They've done well over 200 episodes of their podcast since 2017. "The series also features a number of special guests from various King-related productions. In the past, the Losers have spoken to Thomas Jane, Mick Garris, Jerry O’Connell, Mary Lambert, Wil Wheaton, and many, many more."

Probably my favorite Stephen King podcast. If you haven't checked it out, I recommend going back and listening to some of their past episodes on his books. They have a lot of fun, but they have some good, in-depth discussions about each book.

They really know their stuff.

Bev Vincent on Creating the Ultimate Stephen King Companion

Season 6, Ep. 52

Author and essayist Bev Vincent joins the Losers to discuss his new must-have tome Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences. Chock full of archival photos and materials dusted straight from King's own personal collection, this chronological deep dive into King's life and work is a delight to read -- one of those giant books you keep by your bed for years and years. Today, Vincent discusses how he put the damn thing together, while also weighing in on the many myths, oft-forgotten chapters, and detours within King's Dominion.

I'll come back to this after my book arrives and I've had time to explore it.

This was very well done. And how it should be done.  I love the Losers’ Club podcast. They are professional, prepared and intelligent.  

A great discussion with a good knowledge base for follow up questions.  They are fun and funny, but never in a way that takes the focus off their guest and pathetically tries to shine it on themselves. Respectful and informative. Sets a high bar for wannabe podcasts.  They bring it every time by not just talkin’ the talk. They walk the walk with hard work — that shows. 

Good job.

To celebrate the release of Stephen King’s latest shortest story collection You Like It Darker, The Losers’ Club is unlocking their premiere episode of The Stephen King Archives, a Patreon exclusive imprint in which your Losers search the vault of King material – dusting off unpublished short stories, long-forgotten interviews, coffee-stained manuscripts, and alternate versions of your favorite tales. In the past, they’ve covered the stories within “The Body”, the uncollected Creepshow tales, and King’s EW columns.

This particular episode, recorded in 2021, zeroes in on King’s earliest stories, specifically 1956’s “Jhonathan and the Witchs”, 1963’s The Aftermath, and 1965’s “I Was a Teenage Grave Robber”. What are these stories? Where did they come from? Listen ahead as Losers Randall Colburn, Jenn Adams, and Michael Roffman parse through these early, early works. And to help us out, they even consulted the one and only Bev Vincent. And, as you’ll hear, the writer and noted King scholar had much to say on these works.

Stream the discussion below and stay tuned next week for an interview with Sharon Kitchens on her new book Stephen King’s Maine. For further adventures, join the Club via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. You can also unlock hundreds of hours of content in The Barrens (Patreon), including more Archives episodes like this episode.
