I’ve gotten back into reading in a big way over the last year or so, and it’s been fantastic- but sometimes I worry that I’m tearing through books so quickly that I’m not giving myself enough time to reflect on what I’ve just read, or dive deeper into the themes and motifs or “messages” of the books.
I’ve recently read the original 6 Dune books for the first time and I loved them. I just happened across a podcast called Escape Hatch (fka Dune Pod) that goes through all of the books in detail and talks about them, and I found it super helpful in connecting some dots that I missed in my readthrough, and exploring broader themes that didn’t necessarily occur to me.
This had me thinking, maybe I should look into podcasts about other books I’ve read as well. (I also just read House Of Leaves and would love to listen to some exploratory recap and discussion of that cuz there’s so much to unpack).
What are the best podcasts out there that discuss books like this? I’m not new to the world of podcasts, but there are just SO many out there- many of which are just some random guy with a microphone and two listeners- so I was hoping to get some perspective on what some of the best ones are!
Thanks!
