Thank you guys for supporting us and sticking with us as we've read this book!

Welcome back as we dive into the second third of the last chapter of Dune! Sorry for the long hiatus.

Welcome back as we begin the first of three episodes on the last chapter of Dune! It's revealed how Alia "telepathically" communicates with Paul, and it's a lot crazier than we thought.

Welcome back as we continue our quest towards the end of Dune by discussing the first half of Chapter 47! The Emperor makes his first appearance, and the Baron makes a return!

Welcome back to the podcast as we cover all of chapter 46 of Dune! Paul's storm, in the minds of the Fremen, is coming, and we get to hear his battle tactics and (Convention questionable) strategies! There's also another tragic death running towards the family... from Geneva Suggestions to surprise raids, join your hosts as they set off the bomb that will trigger the war!

Welcome back as we wrap up chapter 45 of Dune! Paul's woken up, and he's now aggressively seizing the consciousness of Jessica to show her what he saw.

Welcome back as we complete Chapter 44 of Dune! In a flash, Gurney's got his blade ready to draw blood, and Paul needs to do some master diplomacy to defuse the situation.
