Today on the show, we answer your distrance, and we're spitting in bats' mouths.

I'm going to need a lot of water for this recording.

Drink up, friend.

Stay hydrated, y'all. Welcome to Gom Jabbar, your guide to the iconic world of Dune.

We'll be exploring the themes, philosophies, and characters found in the sandy depths of this vast universe, from Frank Herbert's groundbreaking novels to the adaptations

on film and TV. My name's Abu. My name's Leo. And Leo, we got a special one today.

Yeah, we do. This podcast going off the rails, doing something I don't think that we've actually

done before. Not fully. An entire episode dedicated to

mailbag. Yeah. I mean, we've gotten a lot of messages. We keep asking for them and y'all deliver it.

It's fantastic. And there were so many good questions. Yeah. That we decided to, you know,

take this day and work through them in a dedicated mailbag episode.

I'll also say there were a couple of things we've gotten wrong, which I fully anticipated.

And it was wonderful to have people call us out.

We'll touch back on that throughout the episode.

But today's a good day.

Good day to set the record straight.

For sure, for sure. Now, some quick housekeeping. Before we jump into those messages,

yeah. Let's talk spoilers because it's a little different today. Right. There is one listener question later in the episode where we have to talk about some stuff from God Emperor of Dune.

We will warn you and give you plenty of time to skip ahead a couple of minutes before we get into that discussion.

Right.

But the rest of the episode has just a blanket spoiler warning through Dune Messiah.

So as long as you've read books one and two, you're safe to listen to this episode and just make sure to skip past that one listener question.
