Book Club: Hunters of Dune (Part 2) 18.09.2026 2ч 14минAbu and Leo finish Hunters of Dune, the first book in Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's conclusion of the Dune saga. They break down the back half of the book and vent their feelings about how this is all just so wrong. They cover the Ithaca's stalled journey through the Scattering, Duncan Idaho's fixation on the absent Murbella, and the ghola children growing up aboard the no-ship. On Chapterhouse, Murbella's war against the Honored Matres comes to a head, including the reveal that the Honored Matres descend in part from Tleilaxu women. Uxtal's doomed attempt to resurrect a Tleilaxu master and Khrone's efforts to reawaken a young Baron Harkonnen push the ghola storylines toward their conclusions. Along the way, the mysterious old couple behind the Scattering's chaos finally comes into focus, setting up next episode's dive into Sandworms of Dune. This episode contains SPOILERS for all six of Frank Herbert's Dune novels, plus the entirety of Hunters of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

Lost Entries: Psychology of the Fremen 11.09.2026 1ч 1минAn unpublished Dune Encyclopedia manuscript called Psychology of the Fremen never made it past Willis E. McNelly's editing desk, until now. Abu and Leo dig into what got cut, in part one of a two-episode dive into the Fullerton archives' unreleased psychology entries. Carl B. Yoke, a Kent State University professor, wrote it as one of five planned psychology profiles that also covered the Bene Gesserit, the Sardaukar, the Harkonnens, and the Imperium. Yoke's Fremen entry builds its case through an invented smuggler-poet, whose writings and observations of Fremen psychology survived in the Bene Gesserit archives on Wallach IX. From there, Abu and Leo trace a psychological system mapped almost entirely onto Carl Jung. This episode contains NO SPOILERS for the Dune novels.

The Hidden Jews of Dune With DZ Kalman 21.08.2026 1ч 11минFrank Herbert spent five books showing how faiths merge, mutate, and drift beyond recognition.

Mailbag: Ranking All Six Dune Novels and Why We Never Needed a Seventh Book 07.08.2026 1ч 27минAbu and Leo close out the book club with a live listener Q&A, the first one recorded with every page of Frank Herbert's saga behind them.

Lost Entries: Roj Amalkin and the Stone Burner 31.07.2026 57минAbu and Leo return to the Lost Entries series with two Dune Encyclopedia manuscripts that never made it into print.

Relay: Pantheon Season 1, Episodes 1-4 03.07.2026 52минAbu and Leo dig into Pantheon, the wildly underrated animated sci-fi series almost nobody watched. Across the first four episodes they wrestle with what the show has to say about mortality, capitalism, and the promises we make about new technology. It is bold, timely, occasionally rough around the edges, and exactly the kind of science fiction they want more of. This episode contains SPOILERS for Pantheon Season 1 and for Ken Liu's short stories "The Gods Will Not Be Chained" and "The Gods Will Not Be Slain." IN THIS EPISODE Why the show's "uploaded intelligence" framing lands harder than Ken Liu's original "consciousness uploading," and what Logorhythms did to David behind his family's back. How the series fleshes out Ellen and David far beyond the page, including the breakup-after-death conversation the short stories leave out entirely. Steven Holstrom, Julius Pope, and the case that Pantheon is really asking whether religion and science were ever separate buckets to begin with.

The Fremen Jihad 19.06.2026 1ч 2минAbu and Leo dig into the Fremen Jihad, the brutal 12-year war Frank Herbert left almost entirely off-page between his first two novels. Leaning on the Dune Encyclopedia to fill in that missing history, they trace how a political standoff curdled into religious conquest, then set this jihad beside the Butlerian Jihad to ask what Frank was really saying about charismatic leaders, mob fervor, and the cycles of power and violence that drive human history. This episode contains SPOILERS for Dune and Dune Messiah IN THIS EPISODE Why 300,000 Fremen obliterated a Great House's three-million-strong army at Malathon, and how the Landsraad fatally misread what Paul's rise actually meant The Battle of Molitor, the closest thing to a united resistance, where the Bene Gesserit, Sardaukar, and Landsraad made their stand and the Fedaykin turned the tide How the Qizarate priesthood hijacked the war into a campaign of forced conversion, and the 40 religions Paul tells Stilgar he wiped out The Bene Gesserit conspiracy to discard their failed Kwisatz Haderach and restart the breeding program What Scytale's nine words, "He didn't use the jihad. The jihad used him," reveal about how fast Paul lost his grip on the forces he set loose SUPPORT THE SHOW Get ad-free episodes and more: https://www.patreon.com/gomjabbar Say thank you with a tip: https://buymeacoffee.com/gomjabbar Buy custom-designed Dune merch: https://www.gomjabbar.shop Watch video episodes and clips: https://www.youtube.com/@loreparty Learn more about your ad choices.

Odrade says her goodbyes, the mission to Junction begins, and a beloved cyborg bus driver makes a triumphant return. Then the takeaway digs into the leveling drift, the Bene Gesserit belief that humanity always sands its outliers back down toward the average.

The True History of the Butlerian Jihad 05.06.2026 1ч 7минSix years into the show, Abu and Leo finally give the most consequential event in Dune history its own episode. From Jehanne Butler's personal tragedy on Komos to the century of holy war that followed, this is the story of how humanity destroyed its thinking machines and rebuilt itself without them. Part 1 of a two-part series on the jihads of Dune. LIGHT SPOILERS: if you've read the first book or seen the Denis Villeneuve films, you're safe to listen. IN THIS EPISODE Why Frank Herbert gave the biggest event in his universe barely two paragraphs, and how the Dune Encyclopedia fills in the missing century Jehanne Butler's path from Bene Gesserit-trained priestess to revolutionary, and the hospital tragedy on Komos that lit the fuse The nearly bloodless coup against Richese, and the machine-run society that horrified the Komans who arrived there How one interrogation between the Priestess Urania and an insufferable tech bro turned a planetary revolt into a galactic holy war Butlerian Jihad or Great Revolt?
