Episode 273-Castle Rock Interview With Showrunner, Dustin Thomason

from Stephen Kingcast · host Constant Reader

In this very special episode, co-creator and co-showrunner of Castle Rock, Dustin Thomason and I talk about all things Stephen King, the origins of Castle Rock, the push/pull of creativity v. continuity, why they settled on Alan Pangborn. . .and Polly Chalmers.  If you are enjoying the show of the summer for 2018, then I believe you'll get a lot out of this episode.  I want to thank Dustin for his thoughtfulness and generosity for takign the time (for God's sake, the man stepped away from editing the final episodes of his show to speak with me!) to sit down for this interview.  Here we go, everyone! Sit back and enjoy my conversation with Dustin Thomason! As always, write in at [email protected] Follow me on Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook and Bluesky.
