Seth was under the weather after returning from doing the Cotswold Way hike in England, so to protect the other guys from germs, this was recorded on his backyard patio, so please forgive the neighbor dog’s squeaky toy accompaniment.
Patio-cast! This worked out well enough that we’ll definitely do it again. Perfect day in Western Oregon.

Post-credits scenes for this episode include some discussion of the Cotswold Way hike and meeting up with a friend of the podcast.
If you zoom in you can see the etching on the stone James is astride, saying “Bath 100M.” It’s miles, not meters. This is us pre-blisters.We have a Phil Nichols sighting!All of us at the finish line in Bath, blisters and all. Quite a long walk! (Left to right, Emily, James, Elaine, and Seth)
This time, the guys pick up a listener suggestion, from longtime listener Malc Foy, The Running Man, by Stephen King.

Note: We’ve been having some trouble with our digital recorder. I tried to mitigate the static/distortion we got in a few places, but if you hear it, it’s not your headphones.

This time out, the Pavement Pounders discuss their very first Stephen King, going with Firestarter, the 1980 novel and its 1984 theatrical adaptation.
Alas, no exploding chickens in the movie. But lots of feathered hair, teke-ing really hard, and good old Hollywood whitewashing! Hooray!

Notes:
Seth was lazy this time and came up with precisely nothing. Not to worry, though, because Dune is up next and that should produce plenty. Besides, after the Show Notes explosion from Real Steel, Seth’s been pretty tipped over.
