Spencer Hamilton talks IT!

Season 2, Ep. 4

We're going back to Derry but with a different indie author this time - the wonderful human being that is Spencer Hamilton!


Spencer is know for his Smileyland series of stories, and we talk about those amongst many other things - including queer characters, releasing a pandemic novel during a pandemic, short stories, and more!


Then, we go deeper on IT - Spencer's King book of choice. We cover his favourite characters, moments and more - before rounding off with the quick-fire, 19-question Stephen King challenge!
