As most fans know by now, Haven is based on the novella, The Colorado Kid by Stephen King. The creators of the show pitched a show out of the story, but we wondered if we could do the same for another Stephen King book called Joyland. Both hailing from the Hard Case Crime imprint, hosts Alex and Rich French each take a crack at creating a show and pitching it to each other and you, the listeners.

Hey everyone, the episode went a little long so we decided to split them into two parts. This is the second half where we talk about our view of the entire season. What worked? What didn't? Best episodes, worst episodes, and the state of TV when Haven came out vs. TV now.
Tell us what you thought about Season 1 of Haven!
We'll be back in two weeks, so until then, never let your Troubles get you down.

I hope you're ready for another episode of Troubled because hosts Alex and Rich French got another episode to burn through. You'll get the joke soon enough. The episode today is The Hand You're Dealt of Season 1 of Haven.
And as usual, we have an extra segment, that takes some inspiration from the Grey Gull. We'll see if we can live up to Duke's famous restaurant/bar!

A landmark episode of Haven as the whole cast gathers for Audrey Parker's birthday in a Shining-esque hotel is the subject of today's episode. Hosts Alex and Rich French are here to discuss the newest trouble that has thrown our favorite Maine-ites for a loop.
And after that, we have a special feature! We are playing Haven Survivor! In the spirit of an Agatha Christie story, we wanted to eliminate each Haven cast member one by one and we use a Brant Steele simulation to do so. This episode features the first chapter of that and the Bonus Episode that was released alongside Episode 9 will feature the rest of the Survivor content.
