DuneCast

Herbert's last novel, and a cliffhanger for the ages. But before the dramatic ending to Chapterhouse: Dune, there is so much going on in this novel! Joe and Rod convene the DuneCast to dig into the first half of the book and wrap our heads around the revelations, mysteries, and truths in the Duneiverse.

DuneCast has finally arrived at the final book by Frank Herbert: Chapterhouse: Dune, and we are ready to dig into this exciting, fascinating and, yes, controversial novel. From a look back at the book's reception in its time, to theories on some of the mysteries of the book, to a deep dissection of the plot, characters, and events, we're going further than even The Tyrant could have imagined.

Enjoy part one of our look at Chapterhouse: Dune and thank you for your support of the DuneCast, the #1 Dune podcast in the known universe!

Distrans over.

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.
