The Dark Tower Deep Dive #3 – The Waste Lands

2025-06-03

We’re finally on the path of The Beam. The Dark Tower Readalong reaches the land of wonder and ruination, in Book 3, The Waste Lands. Accompanied by Nat and Chris, we battle the great bear, get dirty in the speaking ring, and brave the streets of Lud. But we also have the first quake in our Ka-tet, when Chris offers the most egregiously wrong opinion that anyone could offer on these books. You may agree with him… but if you do, we have a problem. I have never cursed or yelled so much on this show before...

I have never cursed or yelled so much on this show before!!

Nonetheless, we have fun, we push on, and we’re still friends (just about).

Enjoy!
