In our 9th episode, we complete our discussion of the 2nd book in Herbert’s hexalogy: Dune Messiah. Regular hosts Haitch and Jason are joined by promising Messiah candidate himself: Protolexus. We explore the tragic fall of Paul Atreides, whether humanity is doomed to repeat our history forever, and document which of us has actually finished reading Infinite Jest.
