Writer and producer Lee Metzger joins the Losers to discuss Strawberry Spring, his new, star-studded audio drama adaptation of Stephen King’s chilling Night Shift short story.
In the event you haven’t read the story, here’s the logline:
“Strawberry Spring follows a journalist who hears the name “Springheel Jack” while listening to the radio, which rekindles memories of when he was a student and heard about the serial killer for the first time. The story quickly turns into a hunt for the killer, and the journalist will not stop at anything to find him.”
In this jovial chat, Lee elaborates on how he stretched King’s prose into an eight-episode podcast and managed to put together its incredible cast: Garrett Hedlund, Milo Ventimiglia, Herizen F. Guardiola, Sydney Sweeney, Ken Marino and Al Madrigal.
Stream the spoiler-free interview below and then dive into the audio drama shortly after. Don’t let Springheel Jack get you, though, as the Losers will be right back this Friday to discuss Frank Darabont’s The Shawshank Redemption with special guest Rhett Miller of Old ’97s.
