    Nice to have podcasts that discuss the books. I loved the books and I’m still learning more. Thank you for good coverage. I’d love more podcasts.

  • Great content but Luke has literally the most grating voice I've EVER heard. I want to love this pod so bad because it's a great show and I want to dive deep. Everything else about this podcast is great but Luke's voice irritates me so much I just can't overcome it. I'm legitimately sorry. His vocal fry is more extreme than any Gen Z woman I've ever heard.

  • By Far the Best of the Silo Podcasts

    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 🌟!

  • Great recap and analysis

    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!

  • Favorite Silo podcast

    I absolutely love

    this podcast. If you want to go down the rabbit hole with Silo, this one’s for you. When i was watching the latest episode last night I was thinking about how it would be covered here. So

    that’s how much this podcast is starting to influence my relationship with this show.

Our Top 10 Werewolf Movies of All Time (& the history behind them)
Q: What do you think makes a good werewolf movie?
Elysia says The Company of Wolves combines the qualities she values: strong atmosphere, memorable transformations and themes of coming of age, danger, sexuality and self-liberation.
Our Top 10 Werewolf Movies of All Time (& the history behind them)
Q: What is your background with werewolf movies, and what draws you to them?
Anthony says his interest in werewolf mythology and its ancient and medieval history outpaces his knowledge of classic films. He is drawn to the cursed-man trope, the stories' psychological conflict and their varied interpretations.
Dune Minute Podcast crossover – Dune: Part Two, minute 62: Mother Jessica
Q: Did you think that Alia was right about Paul not believing in himself?
Yes, Alia is correct because Paul has shown a lack of confidence in believing he's the messiah, despite having a shift in his demeanor.
The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017) & the real Charles Dickens – The intermezzo
Q: Did he invent Christmas as the movie claims?
No, he did not invent Christmas, but he played an influential role in shaping modern Christmas traditions.

Q: What do you think of these episodes overall?
