In our 8th episode, we discuss the 2nd book in Herbert’s hexalogy: Dune Messiah. Regular hosts Haitch and Jason celebrate the triumphant return to the pod of noted poet and spiritualist, Protolexus, as we explore why bad things happen to good people, what happens when our reach exceeds our grasp, and why no one should ever use the word rutting. Ever. Enjoy!
