Clever, insightful and funny!
I listened to a few episodes and really enjoyed our boys' deep analysis and hilarious banter. I am a Huge book fan, read them all! So I appreciate the deep takes and respect the spoiler warnings. I have now gone back to ep 1 and intend to listen all the way through. Great work guys, keep it up! David 😉

Very fun for us geeks.
I appreciate your organized, informative and funny podcast on a very cool subject. Your book club episodes are awesome. I listened to the entire 10 part book club for the original book and really enjoyed it and laughed at all the geeky jokes as well. I wish I knew about this podcast when I first read Dune… especially in that first 300 pages… but it was really fun revisiting the first book just listening the book club. I’m also loving your Dune Messiah book club and can’t wait for more episodes on that amazing book. If you are a first time reader of Dune, I highly recommend listening to the first two episodes then as you read, follow along with the book club episodes. It will make your first read a very good experience, I’m sure. Great job, I know it’s hard work but keep it up!

Better than the Spice Girls
Man you guys are awesome! I’m totally geeking out on your podcasts. And I’m not sayin this to blow your skirts up either. I’m having so much fun listening to you guys. I actually listened to the full 3+ hour deep dive and ate it up. You both crack me up and I love your laughs!

Listening since the first podcast and have yet to stop
Love everything these guys do. Episodes are informative, funny, and always scratch my Dune itch.

More than I hoped to find. Awesome show!
I’ve been reading Dune this year and the moment I walked out of the theater I knew I wanted more. Not just more books (which of course there are), but more *everything* relating to Dune. I was hoping for a podcast that could be that, and this has done it. Well done. 10/10 because 5 stars isn’t high enough.

Great Book Club!
I found this podcast looking for a companion explanation of Dune while reading it before the movie comes out! The book club episodes are excellent and I absolutely love the extra “spice morsels” that give extra context to some of the items/ people/ history/etc of Dune that wouldn’t be able to be explained by just reading the book! I hope the book club continues through the series!

Amazing Dune content for long-time and new fans
Abu and Leo host the highest quality Dune pod right now. They’ve managed to aggregate Dune’s narrative, lore, and philosophical bases into a 60-90min entertaining pods.
As podcasters they’re also hilarious and their enthusiasm psychs me up more for all Dune content.
Their book club series is spoiler free, so it’s perfect for newcomers. They also have episodes that go DEEP. Love the content, and I’m looking to more episodes!

Book Club is 10/10, lots of lol’s
These two are amazing - the Book Club has been so good, & I’m stoked they’re continuing the series. Absolutely hilarious duo, their comedy hits so hard - and the spice morsels even harder.

Great stuff. Too many ad breaks
Love the content and would love to give 5-stars, but the frequency of ad breaks feels opportunistic and a little unearned

Solid work
First the bad: sometimes they go a bit too much nerd, the couple of guests they’ve had didn’t work too well. Not horrible just not that good. Now the good: Hilarious. Literal laughter out loud every episode. The boys flow from funny to “information” adeptly. This podcast brought me back into the Dune Universe in a way that makes it fun to read the books again. They make sure you know if the episode is going to have spoilers right up top. What the eff HBO!? Where’s my Holtzman miniseries!? Just wanted to update to 5stars. Over the episodes their delivery has gotten better and better. They've fixed the couple of gripes I had.

Perfect for new readers
So glad they’re doing this pod. The perfect companion to this insanely dense story.

Comfort is definitely relative. Much like the fall of the Mongul empire ( in my opinion) their decadence got the best of them. Once you lose that real sense of savagery it’s hard to regain. But what a great show you fellas have. I’m brand new to Dune and you guys have almost convinced me to pull the trigger and read (listen to the audio book) it.

Abu and Leo have a great rapport, and make revisiting the dune universe a blast. Keep up the good work, guys! The spice must flow!!

Illuminating, engaging, fun
These guys are so warm and engaging. I read the books decades ago and forgot so much, but Leo and Abu bring to light all the richness and depths of Dune. Plus they connect everything to contemporary culture, and ideas. Just woderful!

Can’t get enough. Have y’all watched the Dune & Children of Dune miniseries?
Also on YouTube the David Lynch Dune by a fan. So much added.

Spice Addict!
The best book review I’ve heard is for the Dune Encyclopedia which your time travels are based off. As much of a nerd as I am I never delved into it and now much later learning it costs between 300-1000 dollars! If I don’t get that 5 part Bene Geserit series promised I’ll be forced to do awful things to afford it! Regardless, this is an amazing listen! This Podcast must flow!

Best Dune content with relatable and knowledgable hosts
I love Dune and Dune podcasts. This is by far the best Dune Podcast I have come across. They have non-spoiler content which is so helpful to the initiated and new Dune readers/viewers alike. Also, most Dune podcasts are round table discussion of rotating hosts. This is high audio quality with consistent hosts (who clearly have a connection and are affable) that have a distinct plan and arc of conversation for each episode. Thank you so much! I couldn’t recommend this podcast higher!!!

Best Dune Podcast out there
I’ve read books 1-4, and I listened to all of the podcasts out there, and this one is the muad’dib of podcasts. These guys are knowledgeable, make few mistakes, and allude to several deeper insights/themes within the series. Really appreciate all of the effort they put into this! Thank you!

Excellent
I really love the material that these guys delve into. They are precise and strive for accuracy, and give a lot of obvious care and love to the handling of the source material. Their chemistry is fun and I’ve found it to be an easy listen. I REALLY appreciate the spoilers/no spoilers disclaimer in each episode description. As I am reading through the first Dune novel, it’s nice to not have the narrative ruined for me by copious spoilers, which is something not a lot of other Dune podcasts take care to avoid.

The ONLY Dune podcast worth listening to
A truly thoughtful, yet hilariously entertaining journey into Herbert’s world. The only pod that offers a deep look into the universe, events and people who shaped the Dune series...and not a single DudeBro or newcomer shaming power nerd in sight. Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you thank you.

Loving this podcast!
Whether you’re new to the Dune-iverse and wanna know more to feed the movie hype, get a GREAT primer before diving into the books, or are a long time fan of Dune, I’m sure you’ll find this podcast to be a top shelf choice. Abu and Leo are great hosts, keep the banter crisp and fresh and fun but are legitimately steeped in lore...which is no small feat when it comes to Dune.
Great job!! Looking forward to more.

Great Poscast
I’ve listened to three Dune related podcast and Gom Jabbar is by far the best. The hosts know their stuff and I really appreciate that they stick to the original books plus the Encyclopedia with almost no discussion of the BH books.
