Episode 102-Joyland
In 2013, Stephen King released a wonderful little book about the first steps into adulthood, heartbreak, love, friendship and carnies set against the backdrop of a coastal amusement park. Here, King is able to speak about a time period (early twenties) that he hasn't really tackled before with mesmerizing honesty and clarity.
