What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I started learning more about Dune after seeing the 2021 movie and I went looking for a podcast to explain the lore and extended universe. I hit the jackpot! Leo and Abu clearly love Dune and have great on air chemistry! I also love the book club eps

Elle-on-Earth · Jun 2025

So much appreciation for your insights, humor and consistent supply of the spiciest dune morsels. My walks home from work wouldn’t be the same without this podcast!

Albravs · May 2025

I finished the Dune novel and needed some explainers on the basic Dune mythology. I stumbled on this podcast by way of Apple and I have not been disappointed. I love the comedic banter. It’s also nice that they have disclaimers with episodes that may have spoilers. Well done. Looking forward to reading Dune Messiah because of these two hosts.

djalps · Dec 2024

Best podcast ever! The hosts are hilarious and the content is discussed in a smart, funny, yet digestible way. They make me wish I knew enough about something to have the kinds of enlightening and entertaining conversations that they do - truly two people in their elements! Also slightly addicting, I listened to one episode and within two weeks I was 30+ hours deep and done with the first book!
