Welcome to the worst bestsellers, where we read about the Spice Girls and Boys so you don't have to.

I'm Kate. And I'm Renata. And for this episode, we read Dune by Frank Herbert. Joining us to discuss this worm infested sci-fi saga is Anna, Renata's co-worker, and known spice enjoyer. It says, you know what? That too. No, I, yeah. Oh, it's a space enjurer. Okay. Let me try again. I think we should keep this in because Because, you know, Anna is a known space enjoyer.

That's a huge part of her personality.

But I think she's on the spice, too.

I love spice in all kinds.

I put my glasses on.

No, it's more fun without it, I think.

Hello, welcome to this episode.

I'm so excited.

I think this is a great representation of the energy we're bringing.

I want to say right at the bat.

Like, Dune, this is a venerable sci-fi classic.

I'm so sure there's so many other like podcasts, videos, TikToks you could be listening to

about Dune.

And what we're going to bring to the table and what's going to be so fresh is that we're so stupid.

So dumb.

And I'm sure there's like some really smart takes that are like, is Frank Herbert Islamophobic?

Like, what is this based on? And like, where's, where's the origin

of this? And we're not going to do that. And that's not the scope of this podcast. And also,

if we mispronounce any of these dune words, they're all made up and I don't want to hear

about it. Um, correct. Yes. I did listen to the audiobook, but I fell asleep so many times while listening to it that I cannot

be trusted to tell you how any words pronounce.
