Wool-Shift-Dust: a Silo TV podcast

The first season of Dune: Prophecy is about to begin on HBO Max, and Elysia is joined by Luke and David to set the stage – first with an exclusive three-way conversation about the world-building of this prequel set 10,000 years before the original book and films, and then (00:24:50) with recap and analysis of a novella set not long before the show, featuring some of the same characters – "Imperial Court" from Sands of Dune (2022).How ugly could this Atreides-Harkonnen blood feud get? What was Javicco Corrino (Mark Strong's character) like in his younger years? What dangers await in the jungles of Rossak, where the school of the Sisterhood can be found? Answers, or at least teases, await.Then, continue the conversation with David & Elysia's Dune: Prophecy preview pod on the Lorehounds feed.Join the Book ClubOn Supercast: https://woolshiftdustbookclub.supercast.com/ – Recommended!
