Dune Buddies

Dune Buddies

Dune Buddies is your friendly, far ranging, far-fetched and maybe overly focused guide to Dune and its adaptations. Taking things chapter-by-chapter and scene-by-scene, while also checking in with our friend who is a sci-fi neophyte reading Dune for the first time, as well as our other friends who might love/hate Dune as much as we do. ***This is not a spoiler-free podcast (but we don't go too hard).***

Our friend Tina tells us about the witches of the internet and we wonder whether they are proto-BGs and whether it matters.

Also, as usual, Dark Souls.
