Hunter-seeker fail (but still according to plan) | Dune Book Club mini | Chapter 9
Channel: Peppers 'n' Glowworms
Date: 2023-10-21

I'm doing a a kinda sorta book club for my re-reading of the science fiction classic Dune.
Originally started as long form podcast like videos (a primer plus the first five chapters), I have meanwhile restarted and settled on the shorts format.
It's basically just a short reference for each chapter now with an additional little skit that tries to capture the essence of the chapter (according to me) or a silly details of it.
