Is Dune Messiah Required Reading? | Dune News Roundup with Reading Dune

We're back this week with a special episode of Dune Talk! Welcome Caleb Pauls, of the Reading Dune podcast, joining us for a discussion on the importance of 'Dune Messiah'—both its characters and the philosophies explored. While it's the shortest of the six books in Frank Herbert's original 'Dune' saga, the events within have far-reaching ramifications. That's not all, as our crew—Garin, Johnny, Marcus, and Simon—and special guest have a whole lot of 'Dune' movie, comic, and video game news to cover: Production begins on 'Dune: Part Two', preview pages are up for 'Dune: The Waters of Kanly', and 'Dune: Spice Wars' enters Steam Early Access. We also address rumors regarding the upcoming Dune TV series: 'Sisterhood of Dune: Mindkiller'?
