About the podcast
Elysia and Luke return with weekly coverage of a sure-to-be-epic season 3 of the dystopic scifi thriller Silo, releasing on Apple TV starting July 3. The show that put our podcast on the map (and after which it is named) returns for a third season exploring the origins of the Silo system, adapting Shift, the second book in the trilogy – and we'll be giving you both the book-reader comparisons (without spoiling ahead) and non-book-reader tinfoil hat theories about what's really going on.
*
In between episodes and seasons of Silo, join us for an in-depth dive into Frank Herbert's novel Dune and all of the adaptations of that story.
Using the most famous science-fiction book ever written as our base, we're looking at the choices made in different times by different creators: How does one adapt a story that's been deemed unadaptable – what worked, and what didn't? And how does each attempt leave a deeper understanding of this rich galaxy of politics, philosophy, and lore?
*
Also, browse our feed for our in-depth coverage of Apple TV’s dystopic scifi thriller Silo's first two seasons, 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.
Plus past holiday specials like the endless variations of A Christmas Carol as well as It's a Wonderful Life / Knife, The Craft films, and Edgar Allan Poe and The Fall of the House of Usher coverage – not to mention our coverage of both seasons of Beacon 23 – Hugh Howey's other TV adaptation.

Show notes
For this special Silo season 3 bonus episode, Elysia is joined by Silo series book author Hugh Howey and Silo TV showrunner Graham Yost to discuss the tricky process of TV-making and adaptation – from why worldbuilding details were changed, to how key scenes came together, to how Peter Gabriel won himself a spot in Stensen's Ark.
This episode avoids future book spoilers as usual, and saves season 4 discussion until the end of the conversation – listen to the intro for a more detailed spoiler warning.

Elysia helps Luke unpack all the surprises for show-only viewers in this wild and brutal season finale – while representing book readers in doing a celebratory dance of all the book elements finally being shown on screen! They dive into the Operations of Silo 1, "Troy" and Victor's many cryptic facial expressions, and all our questions for listeners at home. Along the way, the community weighs in on everything from inside intel on the accuracy of Daniel's Congressional service and last episode's Portland references to fan theories that drill down to the most essential worldbuilding questions still on the table and/or have Luke handing over his tin-foil supply for hat-making.
Join us on our most epic journey yet through the apocalypse.

Just past the mid-season moment where many tables have turned, Luke and Elysia are back with a mailbag full of community comments and questions about episodes 3 through 6 of Silo season 3. From the funniest and most far-fetched possibilities about lightware thievery, murder suspects, and fatherhood to earnest inquiries into the government and daily operations of the silo system and the characters within it, together we all share our hopes, gripes, praises, and personal artifacts that could become silo relics.

"A Dark Web" – episode 3 of season 3 of Silo on Apple TV – has Luke and Elysia mining both show reveals and first-book canon to figure out what exactly our characters might be digging up this week. From close encounters of a hacker kind in Silo 18's distant past, which is looking increasingly like our present, to reforged bonds in relationships old and new, we're poring over every detail like we're Sheriff Billings prepping for a Pact competition. And then asking... But what if this were a 1950s Noir?

Elysia and Luke celebrate the return of a long-awaited character and the introduction of one of Elysia's book favorites, and the many moral quandaries he lays on the table. Checking in first on the origin story, Luke lays out his now assuredly more refined non-reader theories, and then (with little book basis) both ponder the mysteries of the happenings of Silo 18, from missing persons to the Algorithm's latest revelations.

Elysia and Luke will jog your foggy memories with a deep dive into "Who Are You?" – the first episode of Silo season 3 on Apple TV – including reminders of where we left key characters and events at the end of season 2.

Show notes
At long last, the original Dune novel breakdown series begins in earnest! Following up on their episode about the author Frank Herbert and creation of the book, this episode dives into the beginning of the story itself:
After an opening discussion of the significance and nuance of the overall story with David from the Lorehounds, where they lay the foundations for key vocabulary and themes (00:26:11), including the complexities of Paul Atreides, the balance of powers in the universe, and how the timeline of Dune relates to our own, Elysia and Luke break down the first 10 chapters of the novel (00:48:20), the first half of Book 1 (of 3): "Dune" – just through the hunter-seeker incident.
Warning: We do spoil key plot points in this book, and certain plot points of the follow-up books. Frank Herbert front-loaded those spoilers into this opening section himself, so we're pointing them out and talking about how it all connects.

Elysia and Luke's A Christmas Carol discussion takes a darker turn in this lore-down between the Guy Pearce-starring, BBC co-produced 2019 version – which adds some grimer touches to Scrooge's tale – and the 1964 Twilight Zone-like variation created to advertise the importance of the UN at a time when the US and world in general were on the brink of one war and fully entering another. They'll give you all the history, psychology, and sociology you need to get more out of these two tales of existential dread.

Ayesha from the Every Sci-Fi Film Ever podcast joins Elysia for a look at the classic Universal Monsters films Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935), discussing everything from on-set drama and injuries to Hollywood's new decency codes – to, of course, how the films both do and do not adapt the book they're based on.
As they dissect the philosophy and filmmaking behind these movies, they also set the stage for that period of mad-scientist filmmaking, and give an overview of how the adaptations of this story have gone from there – up to a preview of the new Guillermo del Toro movie Frankenstein (2025) and Maggie Gyllenhaal's upcoming The Bride! (2026).
