Previous Episode

Dune Messiah (1969)

1969 was the summer of love, but on the planet Arrakis, more commonly known as Dune, Emperor Paul Atreides' reign was coming to an end. Join Joe and Rod as they tear apart Frank Herbert's shortest Dune novel, but perhaps also the most important to the greater Dune saga.

Dune Messiah is an achievement of science fiction, of world-building, and of escaping the norms for a road less traveled and a story more creative. This is the DuneCast.
