Between Silo seasons, Wool-Shift-Dust is exploring the outer sectors of the galaxy with the newest Hugh Howey sci-fi adaptation to hit the screen: *Beacon 23* , airing on MGM+. We'll be covering the full season, a few episodes at a time.Meanwhile, our ongoing *Dune* retrospective goes deep into what makes a good adaptation, with the book many call the most important work of science fiction ever, the unadaptable yet often adapted Dune – from the book to the movies you know and the ones you probably missed, we get into the lore, philosophy, filmmaking, and Sting's winged speedo (we have some laughs, too).Also, listen back to our Halloween *Edgar Allan Poe* and *The Fall of the House of Usher* coverage, and our weekly breakdowns of *Silo* , Apple TV+’s dystopic scifi thriller, from two different perspectives: book reader Elysia, and show only Luke, with spoilers only up to the episode discussed and equivalent parts of the book. *Coming this holiday season* : Wool-Shift-Dust explores the world of It's a Wonderful Life *Coming in Jan* : Wool-Shift-Dust studies The Three-Body Problem Find us on Twitter: Elysia Brenner: @elysiacb ( https://twitter.com/elysiacb ) Luke Middup: @LUKEMIDDUP ( https://twitter.com/LUKEMIDDUP ) And Discord: https://discord.gg/8CeM9crU Email us: WoolShiftDustPodcast@gmail.com Join the Wool-Shift-Dust bookclub: http://www.patreon.com/WoolShiftDust/ Published by The Lorehounds.

It's a Wonderful Life / Knife multiverse
Happy Holidays from Wool-Shift-Dust! In this winter special, Elysia and Luke explore one of the original alternate timeline stories: the iconic It's a Wonderful Life (1946), plus the other films it spawned – including remake It Happened One Christmas (1977), the amusingly terrible unofficial sequel Clarence (1990), and the looser remakes It's a Very Merry Muppets Christmas (2002), The Christmas Spirit (2013), and the 2023 horror comedy It's a Wonderful Knife. Don't worry if you haven't seen any of them – we'll recap them all, and then talk about why you should care, and all the good, the bad, and the ugly within.
Also, Elysia explains "The Greatest Gift," the short story It's a Wonderful Life is based on, (with a special performance by DeadEyeJediBob) – plus the song "Auld Lang Syne" – in the Wool-Shift-Dust Book Club.

Customer Reviews
Already seen the whole Silo…STILL LISTEN TO THIS
I watched Silo twice before ever seeking out a podcast and am so delighted I’m listening to this podcast. I tried another one that didn’t even notice the screen glitch during the power outage (boooo) and switched over to this one. I love how one host knows the book and the other is just experiencing the show. It’s so much fun listening to both of them experiencing this show and the ways they are guessing at what comes next (especially the incorrect guesses even with book knowledge). But to both hosts great credit they have amazing insights and thoughts that really deepen my view of the show (and probably my third viewing). I love this show and this podcast
Worth a listen
Elysia and Luke are funny, thoughtful, insightful, and thorough in their coverage of Silo. I am excited for their coverage of Dune as well. If you’re looking for a silo podcast, look no further. These guys are the best
Great discussions!
Just started watching Silo and now listening to this podcast after each episode. I really like both the people in the podcast. They have different discussion styles and different experiences with the story (one read the books, one did not). I like getting the little snippets from the books (although one of the early book readings revealed a little too much, maybe edit that out!). Thanks for a great podcast! It takes a lot of time and effort to create this and it is so much fun for us fans!
