Description

An inebriated exploration of Frank Herbert's Dune. Join our hosts Mike and Derek each week as they open a new bottle of wine and have a bit of a buzzed book club. Never read Dune? No worries, neither has Mike. Whether you are new to Dune, or you already know how to wear your stillsuit desert style; this podcast has something to offer. Pulling from the long out of print, Dune Encyclopedia, we can tell you stories such as: Who was Holtzman? What is it like on a Guild spaceship? How did the Baron come to power? We will be revealing some spoilers along the way, but Derek promises not to ruin any great twists in the book. After all this is Mike’s first time reading the book, and part of the fun is letting this world and its mysteries grow around you.

Messiah - Chapter 12

2021/07/15

Whoa, make some room for Edric in chapter 12. He may still be in his pajamas, but the new ambassador is not pulling any punches. The conspirators begin suspecting one another of treachery; Edric is playing coy, Scytale is on edge, Gaius Helen is in jail, and Irulan has been missing in action for a few chapters. We ponder the state of our Ghola, and just what Scytale hopes to achieve. Then see what Mike can scry from the windpoles about Alia’s fate. Need More to Read? “Mort(e)” by Robert Repino

Messiah - Chapter 11

2021/07/08

Paul continues to chip away at the Conspiracy in chapter 11. We take a long walk for a small drink of water, so to speak. Quickly moving this conversation into a more private setting Paul finds himself more alone than ever. Following the many motivations in the room, we start to see divisions forming. Just what are Alia’s powers? Need More to Read? “Berlin 1961” by Frederick Kempe

Messiah - Chapter 10

2021/07/01

With enough spice you can see anything in chapter 10. The fates have decided on some course for Paul, and Chani for that matter. We tackle the meaning of the falling moon, and grasp at straws with Paul's vision. It seems the Zensunni way is to come out as confused as you went in. Need More to Read? “The Once and Future King” by T.H. White

Messiah - Chapter 9

2021/06/24

We’ve been through the desert, and saw a girl with no name. It just felt good to fly with Duncan again. Over the desert, there was a tomb he could name, but I think those memories caused as much good as pain. Le-to Le-to Le-to …

Messiah - Chapter 8

2021/06/17

Say what you will about him, and Derek will, Edric shows up in chapter 8. The Guild Navigator does not give an inch during his discussion with Paul. All this happens with the face dancer watching pleasantly from behind the tank. We see a Paul Atreides who is surrounded on all fronts. As he dismisses the exterior enemies, he has to confront the interior enemies Korba and Irulan. This is why we have Bannerjee. Need More to Read? Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
