Have been following your read of my favourite book series. Today you started the BH and KJA sequels which when they came out I did enjoy and never understood peopleβs hate, now I get it, I was always underwhelmed by their sequels, the only books I havenβt reread. I still enjoy their house series. This podcast is a great love letter to frank and his amazing world. Binge the lot, even the biggest fan will learn new things.
This podcast was a dream come true for me. I chose to tackle all 6 Frank books this summer and found Gom Jabbar Book Club during Dune Messiah.

Itβs a good podcast when going over the readings and getting excited over the content of Frank Herbertβs Books but these two socialist lesbian dance theory majors push their political agenda over and over again. If you want some of the worst commentary on today then this is your pod. I really enjoyed the book club but the political commentary is by far some of the worst Iβve ever heard and puts on display exactly what is wrong with the country currently in both mindset and critical thinking.

I stumbled upon these guys when I was looking for a podcast about the show Dune: Prophecy. And I absolutely fell in love with these guys, their insights and humor. Need to hop over to Patreon and support them now because theyβre so worth it. Starting to listen to them as they read through Dune: Messiah. Abu and Leo, thank you so much for this podcast! ππΌππΌ

A deep-dive, lore-forward show that guides both newcomers and veterans through the Dune universe, blending close reading with lively banter and a strong book-club cadence. Episodes routinely tackle political theology, factional power, and the lore behind Bene Gesserit, the Golden Path, and other key concepts, often supported by fan questions and chat-driven tangents. The hosts balance rigorous analysis with humor, making intricate world-building accessible while maintaining a clearly passionate, community-driven vibe. A standout trait is the thorough, interwoven exploration of canonical texts and encyclopedia material, paired with approachable explanations and sustained enthusiasm for the wider Dune cosmos.
