OG16: Dune Part One, the Expositioning

Philosophers In Space

For many episodes our people have waited for the poda al Gaib, the pod from the outer world. Finally, the prophecy is fulfilled. Yet many questions remain unanswered. Can we successfully explain the plot of Dune, and thereby avoid the podcast jihad? How many side characters with weird makeup choices do we have to cover before we can actually get to the philosophy? What philosophy are we even going to talk about in this jumbled acid trip of a christ tale? Stay tuned for however many parts this takes, cause the studio wouldn't allow me to do my seven hour "no really, you'll see the truth of everything after this one" version. Cowards.

Since we didn't get to the philosophy on this one, here's a great series of youtube videos analyzing the story to help folks fill in the blanks further: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ga4PYMKwQ0
