Customer Reviews
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.
Made me into a dune head
This podcast is sheer delight. I love the extensive discussion of lore, and most of all the humor and silliness balanced with thoughtfulness and sincerity. Abu and Leo are on the golden path!
Would have only been 4 stars but
the injection of real left-wing politics and the welcome I feel as a brainwashed SJW tips it to 5.
Seriously though, I am really enjoying the Book Club episodes after a recent reread of the first 2 books. I find their perspectives helpful in understanding the story at a deeper level. Looking forward to continuing the Book Club series for the remainder of the books.
p.s. I am also happy the hosts pass on including Brian Herbert’s additions. His works don’t seem to add intrigue or depth to the Dune Universe imho.
