Your favorite little worker ants are wiggling in the lens of your magnifying glass in the first our three (!) episodes about Stephen King's 1,100-page Under the Dome. In this episode, the Losers unpack the 2009 book's decades-long history, King's quotes about its creation, and the political and social climate that influenced its themes. Dick Cheney, evangelicalism, and Wolf Blitzer (?) color a conversation that sets the story against King's other small town epics and his career-long exploration of individualism vs. collectivism. Stay tuned for Pt. 2 next Friday!
