Wool-Shift-Dust: a Silo TV podcast
Join us for our weekly breakdowns of Silo, Apple TV+’s dystopic scifi thriller, as we tackle season 2 again from two different perspectives: book reader Elysia, and show only Luke, with spoilers only up to the episode discussed and equivalent parts of the book.
And stick around for an in-depth dive into Frank Herbert's novel Dune – setting the stage to talk through all the adaptations.
Also, browse our feed for past holiday specials like It's a Wonderful Life / Knife, The Craft films, and Edgar Allan Poe and The Fall of the House of Usher coverage, plus our coverage of both seasons of Beacon 23 – Hugh Howey's other TV adaptation.
