“The new series that unpacks interviews with Frank Herbert is GAME CHANGING!!!! I have been listening for over a year now and gone through most of the book club and topical episodes. Really loving this new direction for the pod. Herbert was such a visionary and I’m so glad you are really treating...”Read full review »

“Abu and Leo are the the best guides to the Dune universe, whether it’s new to you or not. Hilarious, charming, and well informed. The book clubs have been an amazing way to get more layers out of the books. I’m actually speeding through all the books just so I can unlock all the spoiler episodes!...”Read full review »

“These guys know the books well but I find that even their deep dives don’t go that deep. It’s a very superficial exploration most times. The attempts at humor are just bad. And way too frequent. Not saying people shouldn’t have fun doing this but… it’s not open mic night.
Could use more experts...”Read full review »

“Hosts are insufferable. Abu specifically. Constantly pats himself on the back for the podcast itself. Can not get through one episode without childish giggling. Injection of real left politics. Pass unless you’re a brainwashed SJW.”
