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 kick off the episode with some bad news. Poet Joy Sullivan was scheduled for today’s episode, and she did join us on the podcast via computer, but unfortunately, we had some tech issues and couldn’t record the episode.
Since we couldn’t talk with Joy, we decided to discuss a topic that came to our attention recently. Some people think Stephen King is bad at writing female characters. Well, Spencer couldn’t let this King slander stand. So he found a list of great female characters in Stephen King’s work.
After we talk about the list, we go into some more details about this supposed fault of his. We discuss the faults of other writers and the problems with poorly written characters beyond gender.
