Our Hosts

Caleb James K.

Spencer Church

A former aspiring comic book artist, Spencer is the cohost of the DPW Podcast as well as a short story writer and avid reader.

We needed a break from our rigorous podcast schedule so we take it easy in this one and discuss our current reading endeavors as well as our writing.

Some of the topics at hand are Shakespeare, Denzel Washington’s The Tragedy of Macbeth, Stephen King’s work, Japanese fiction, and our next reading goals.

In today's cold open, we talk about our current writing progress. After that, we discuss Stephen King's bestselling novel IT. Rather than talk about the story, which almost everyone knows already, we discuss the icky bits that nobody wants to hear about. You know the scene! Also, all the racism and gross nonsense, but we don't dwell on that stuff too much. We break down some of the writing tricks Stephen King used to scare readers, and we end the episode by giving a quick top five of our favorite King novels.
