The best podcast I’ve ever listened to
I absolutely love everything about this podcast. The amount I laugh while listening to this is just absolutely incredible. It helps me sleep at night and keeps me company during the day. Leo and Abu become like close friends without even knowing them. I’ve never had so much fun learning before. This incredibly complex world becomes so much easier to comprehend with Gom Jabbar. I have and will continue to recommend it to anyone who is remotely interested in the Dune universe.

Best Podcast in the Dune Universe!
This is a phenomenal podcast about one of the greatest tales told in the last century. The treat the material thoroughly, but never dryly, and you can tell they enjoy what they're doing.
I can't recommend this 'cast highly enough. Great people doing a great job!

Education
Thank you for the immense amount of education you provide to us all. I am a newbie to these books but I am a gay teenage of the 80s and remember this movie and STING! I always loved the Bene Gessirits!! I’ve seen both movies and have been blown away. But need to know why and here are my 2 handsome funny professors. Thank you again!

Love!!
Abu and Leo are the best! I don’t have other Dune Head friends and it’s so enjoyable listening to them break down Dune Lore! Can’t get enough! Thank you!

My favorite spicy boiz
Long time listener here! Leo and Abu are the best and their content is so in depth and insightful. They have helped me navigate the Dune books and lore which has made for a richer experience with re-reads. Every episode not only has me learning new fun details about the books but it also has me cracking up. These guys are super funny but not in an obnoxious way, they fit in the humor throughout the podcasts really well. Keep up the good work guys! ❤️

My favorite podcast
I just recently started listening to this podcast starting from the beginning. I read frank Herbert’s books after the 1984 movie came out so I’m a little rusty with a lot of specific details. I absolutely love the timeline and individual episodes about characters and planets etc. Leo and Abu bring so much knowledge insight and humor to every episode. I listen everyday. Keep up the good work!

Love the detailed chapter dives
Please redo the first Dune book more in depth like what you’re doing now with God Emperor it feels way too rushed at the start

Fantastic
This podcast is so well done! I’ve learned so very much of the lore and the cast goes in great detail. This could easily be boring and dull but is the complete opposite. Very entertaining and is as if just hanging with friends.

adore this pod
knew this was for me as soon as abu said that SRK is our era's potential kwisatz haderach. so true king!
as a very casual fan who is just entering the duniverse, this podcast is such a treat and makes a very complicated canon feel fascinating and accessible - thoughtful, thorough, & well researched!

I love this podcast
Its like listening to two of my smart and nerdy friends talk about Dune. I love how they research stuff and the book club episodes are my favorite. Those help me under the books so much better!! Absolutely love Leo and Abu!!

Live this podcast
These guys know their stuff.
I found the Podcast about two, three months ago, but I have managed to get through maybe half the catalog?
All the BookClub episodes and everything related to the 1984 movie and Sci Fi Channel miniseries. I do not know if I have found all the ones related to the 2021 movie. I haven’t done the watch-along but will next time I watch it.
I prefer the Dune Encyclopedia expansion of the universe to the Brian Herbert/Kevin Anderson abominations, so this is right up my alley.
You guys are killing it.
Long live the fighters of Leo and Abu.

Best Dune Podcast!
This is a very well researched and well produced show. These guys put in the time to do it right - all while being so much fun to listen to. The book club episodes are the absolute best way to fully enjoy the Dune books. It takes a reading, or re-reading, of the books to a whole new level. I promise you will really enjoy it. It’s just such a great show and I can’t recommend it enough.

Lighthearted with great insight
I found this podcast after finishing Children of Dune and wish I found it when I began the series. The hosts really care about the material and give thoughtful insight into things I missed or didn’t understand on my first read through. It’s approachable and kind to new fans of the series— there’s no gatekeeping here! The guys can get goofy and lean into little bits throughout the episode but I think it’s endearing and keeps the mood light. Keep doing what you’re doing guys!

Instant fan!
I grew up reading the Dune series in the 1980s. I even had a girl make fun of me at the beach one time when I was about 12 or 13 for reading the Dune Encyclopedia. Anyway, I’ve been revisiting the books recently and stumbled across this wonderful podcast. I’m hooked after just a few episodes! Love the dynamic between the hosts and their knowledge of and passion for the series and the world. Excited to get caught up on the past few years of episodes!

Highly recommend
My favorite Dune podcast is Gom Jabbar. These guys dive deep, and as a longtime fan who has read the series several times, I find them quite insightful and very funny. If you have not read the books and have heard about how daunting the series can be, may I suggest a read-along with this podcast. They typically go through 2 to 3 chapters per episode and break the discussion into super modern terms which are easily relatable, as well as highly amusing, and leads to many ongoing inside jokes. They also do episodes on the whole “Duniverse”, covering movies, video games, comics, card games and more. Enjoy!

Love Gom Jabbar
Joined the Patreon bc I couldn’t wait for the God Emperor of Dune book club pods! I love Leo and Abu they bring so much research and insight to the material but are also hilarious.

Best Podcast!
I am obsessed! This podcast has definitely increased my understanding and appreciation of the novels. I love the book clubs, character deep dives, spice morsels, and everything else. I listen to this podcast when I walk my dog, clean the house, drive to work, cook. Abu and Leo are great and so entertaining to listen to. Great job!!!

Your guides on the Golden Path
If you are looking for a Dune podcast this is the one! The hosts have a good mix of humor and deep dive knowledge that serve as a perfect companion for your exploration of Frank Herbert’s Dune universe. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
