Wool-Shift-Dust: a Silo TV podcast

by elysiacb

Elysia and Luke return with weekly coverage of a sure-to-be-epic season 3 of the dystopic scifi thriller Silo, releasing on Apple TV starting July 3. The show that put our podcast on the map (and after which it is named) returns for a third season exploring the origins of the Silo system, adapting Shift, the second book in the trilogy – and we'll be giving you both the book-reader comparisons (without spoiling ahead) and non-book-reader tinfoil hat theories about what's really going on. * In between episodes and seasons of Silo, join us for an in-depth dive into Frank Herbert's novel Dune and all of the adaptations of that story. Using the most famous science-fiction book ever written as our base, we're looking at the choices made in different times by different creators: How does one adapt a story that's been deemed unadaptable – what worked, and what didn't? And how does each attempt leave a deeper understanding of this rich galaxy of politics, philosophy, and lore? * Also, browse our feed for our in-depth coverage of Apple TV’s dystopic scifi thriller Silo's first two seasons, 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. Plus past holiday specials like the endless variations of A Christmas Carol as well as It's a Wonderful Life / Knife, The Craft films, and Edgar Allan Poe and The Fall of the House of Usher coverage – not to mention our coverage of both seasons of Beacon 23 – Hugh Howey's other TV adaptation.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I found Elysia and Luke after listening to another Silo podcast that wasn’t that satisfying. I have since listened to every one I could find and Wool-Shift-Dust is my favorite. Elysia puts in so much work preparing for each episode. Luke’s political and military insights are great. This is the first time I’ve ever communicated with podcast hosts — it’s the first podcast where I’ve wanted to be part of the conversation. Can’t recomment them enough. 100 🌟!

ZoesMom#1 · Sep 2026

Recently had a second child so have been half falling asleep during some episodes of Silo. This is great to help fill in the blanks. A lot of research into every podcast and appreciate that the hosts while clearly fans of the show are also objective about a show that I like, despite its flaws!

zuchum · Aug 2026

Love this podcast and the Patreon is definitely worth it. Whether you are an only show or a book and show enthusiast, you’ll get so much out of the discussions.
