Gom Jabbar: A Dune Podcast

DUNEgeon Master Noah Perito guides Abu Zafar and Leo Wiggins through original adventures inspired by Frank Herbert's stories and the Dune Encyclopedia. As hosts of the #1 Dune podcast Gom Jabbar, Abu and Leo have spent six years exploring every nook and cranny of the universe. Noah has developed and led campaigns across nearly 250 episodes as the host of Try Not To Die. Now they're joining forces to tell the most authentic (and fun!) tales set in their favorite fictional universe. Unlike most actual play podcasts, Spice & Dice campaigns are short, accessible, and self-contained. So there's always an easy place to jump in, whether you're a seasoned D&D fan or you've never held a d20. New episodes release every Thursday, starting November 5.

The final trailer for Dune: Part Three is out, and this emergency episode breaks it down shot by shot. Abu and Leo pull apart what they see as deliberate misdirection in Denis Villeneuve's marketing and trade theories on what the trailer actually gives away. It opens on Paul using the Voice to break Irulan, which Abu reads as a sign that Edric's ability to block prescience will matter far more on screen than it does in Dune Messiah. A red headband spotted puts a teenage Leto II and Ghanima at Chani's desert meeting with Scytale, and a Reddit theory about two separate conspiracies, the assassination plot and the Guild's scheme to get a sandworm off Arrakis, might explain what Chani is really doing out there. Abu pushes back on the "Hello, Grandfather" alternate timeline theory, and Leo offers his own explanation for why Paul keeps Chani at arm's length. This episode contains SPOILERS for Children of Dune.

Dune Messiah opens twelve years into Muad'Dib's jihad, with Emperor Paul Atreides worn down by his own visions. Abu and Leo kick off their Dune Messiah Book Club with the first 50 pages, just in time for Dune: Part Three. Bronso of Ix gets the first word, and the hosts fall a little in love with the historian as he needles Muad'Dib's priests. Scytale's meeting with Gaius Helen Mohiam, Princess Irulan and the Guild Steersman Edric gets read for its subtext within subtext, while Paul's late night with Chani shows a man weighing one beloved life against the agony of multitudes. With help from the Dune Encyclopedia, the hosts trace how a Landsraad revolt turned into a holy war, then close on spice morsels about the Qizarate and the Dune Tarot, plus a fruitless hunt for the meaning of Mirabhasa. This episode contains NO SPOILERS beyond the books and pages covered thus far.
