We have something of an academic detour for you with this episode. Listen along as we're joined by Professor Andy Hageman (Director of the Center for Ethics and Public Engagement at Luther College) who recently got access to the exclusive Stephen King Archive where he got hands on with King's original typed manuscripts and discovered something fairly interesting about King's process, particularly when it comes to The Dark Half.
The Prof tells us what it was like to get that close to literary history as well as what it's like teaching King at a college level and what he thinks future scholars will teach when it comes to Stephen King.
