Hello and welcome to Something's Off with Andrew Heaton.

I'm your host Andrew Heaton and I really like your dog.

Super cute dog, also very well behaved.

That belies a pretty good owner in my opinion.

So normally on Thursdays we do thinky fun time

where I bring on an author we're gonna bring it back next week but I'm gonna give

That is where I bring on someone to discuss science fiction and today we're going to talk about Dune and we are going to go way down the Dune hole.

So if you like Dune, you're going to love this one. If you don't

remotely care about dune, buckle up because it's going to go into great detail.

But I suspect that the Venn diagram of people that listen to

this program, I think there's a heady amount of freedom and science fiction that oftentimes

buttress one another with the listeners of this program.

But regardless, we do got to pay those bills, don't we friends?

And that means a word from our sponsor.

Little type A personality perhaps.

And so I like going on adventures. A few years ago I went with my family to St. Marie Island for Arbor Day and I decided to take my little nephew Frederick treasure hunting.

You can rent metal detectors there from the resort for a small fee, basically a security
