SF Site Podcast: Audio Reviews
Podcast Feed
A podcast is similar to those RSS feeds you find on many blogs. The principal difference is that the content is made up of audio files like MP3s instead of text content. Below you'll find the audio reviews we've done to date. They are in reverse order of review with the newest ones on the left.

Paul of Dune Paul of Dune by Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson
Narrated by Scott Brick

an audio review podcast by Gil T. Wilson
In the world of science-fiction, one of the best series of books to come down the pike is the Dune series created by Frank Herbert. After Frank Herbert's death, his son, Brian Herbert, teamed up with sci-fi author Kevin J. Anderson and pretty much wrapped up the series by providing 6 prequel and 2 sequel books. So with all of that taken care of, one has to ask, what more is there in the Dune Universe?
