Customer Reviews
For new & old fans of Herbert
Intelligent, thoughtful and amusing. For anyone who just saw the new Dune movies or those discovering the books for the first time.
wonderful guides in Dune world
Abu and Leo, You are charming and engaging enough without the awkwardly placed F bombs all the time! Apart from that the show is critical supplemental content for reading or listening to Dune. Thanks lads!
Incredible show
I love Dune. Getting to listen to Leo and Abu talk about Dune makes me love it even more. The amount of work they put into this show is impressive and noticeable. Every episode sounds great. At this point I can’t imagine reading Dune without the book club episodes. These episodes are entertaining, give lots of context, and get you thinking even more. They really clearly do their research too. There are references to real life studies. All of this just shows the dedication and commitment to such high quality work. I don’t always agree with every one of their takes, but that’s not the point. They raise points that get the wheels turning. Keep up the great work, guys. I’ll continue tuning in.
