Constant Listeners, there is an archives to the Derry Private Library. Thanks to our Losers' Club historian Bryant Burnette, we have unearthed an entire vault of Stephen King material. From unpublished short stories to long-forgotten interviews, dusty manuscripts to alternate versions of your favorite tales, there is much to discuss...

This month, as part of our ensuing 35th anniversary celebration of Rob Reiner's Stand By Me, we're taking a closer look at the Gordie LaChance stories. Specifically...

  • 1969 -- "Stud City" (original version)
  • 1975 -- "The Revenge of Lardass Hogan" (original version)

What are these stories? Where did they come from? Listen above as Losers Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, and Jenn Adams parse through these early, early works.

Stay tuned next month when we return to the Stephen King Archives to sort through his college paper column, King's Garbage Truck. Expect many Men at Work jokes.

Mike, I'm with you on Faulkner. I haven't read much of his work, admittedly, but I tried "Absalom, Absalom" while briefly in grad school and am pretty sure I threw it across the room after giving up on it. Depending on how you look at it, it was either that or 9/11 that caused me to drop out of grad school and begin the long slide into irrelevance that I'm currently on. William Faulkner can eat shit!

I remember having a final in English 400-something-or-other, and it was an essay test where the passage they asked about was literally a list of books or objects that a character had and asking us to analyze it.

Mighty nice o' ya to say so. I'm gonna keep doing whatever this weird stuff is that I do either way, I guess!

This episode is probably one of my favorite Losers' Club episodes ever. Y'all definitely mined the gold out of the hills that are these two stories. Well done!
