After surviving a full dark night with no stars in sight, the Losers make their way to Lisbon Falls, Maine to try out one of Al Templeton’s world renown Cat Burgers. To their surprise, though, there’s no one in the diner. Just a sulfuric smell that leads them straight to the pantry, where not only frozen meats await but an unforgettable journey into the American past — one filled with death, delights, and deep affection.
Join The Losers’ Club as they put a lens to Stephen King‘s first crack at historical fiction: 11/22/63. In the first of six episodes dedicated to the 2011 best-seller and Constant Reader favorite, they wrestle with the novel’s origins, its themes, and its commitment to history. Along the way, they also try to pinpoint what this story might have looked like when King originally dreamt it up way, way back in the early ’70s.
Stream the episode below and return next week when the Losers continue their coverage, which also includes interviews with Blowback Podcast‘s Brendan James and the world’s leading authority on the JFK case James DiEugenio. 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).
