Specifically, We’re going to talk about the Tripod that Mohaim mentions, and we’ll go from there. This will not be a resource link heavy episode, because where I want to go with this is mostly speculation based on observance. We will also be bringing up another aspect of the Bene Gesserit. What are the three Parts of the Empire? The primary part is the Landsraad, compromised of ruling families, which we have gone over, the second is the Emperor with his command of the fanatical Sardukar Army which we have also discussed. The third pillar of the empire is the Spacing Guild, which is new for us. What the Spacing Guild Commands is travel. All interstellar travel, and their monopoly is absolute. To go from planet to planet requires contracting with the guild, which means without the guild, there is no Empire. The reason the guild has a monopoly is because of the lack of science in the general society. After the lessons learned from the previous age of Intelligent Machines, the entire society is paranoid regarding scientific advancement, especially machines that can think, or even appear to think. There are no computers to navigate the dangers of space. No computers means no one can replace direct human control. The guild is the only institution that produces and trains human minds advanced enough to navigate the cosmos. The Landsraad commands through money, the Emperor commands by military threat, and the guild controls through knowledge. Each can destroy the other two. This is why Mohaim says that the tripod is unstable. We have examples in history of Triumvirate styles of government. All have been temporary. Some have ended violently, while others were meant only as transitional governments to begin with. The violent endings have usually been power grabs from within the triumvirate. The First Triumvirate, the source of the term, was in ancient Rome. Julius Caesar, Pompey, and some other guy whose name you probably don’t know. Many of you may only barely know the name of Pompey. The reason this triumvirate failed is because Julius Caesar and Pompey ousted the third guy first, and then they set against each other; Caesar won. Yes, we almost got saddled with a Pompey salad. After Caesar’s assassination, the triumvirate was tried again, this time with Octavius, Marc Antony, and another guy who you probably don’t remember. History repeated itself. The tripod can only exist if all three legs are equal. In Dune, the legs are not equal. The only reason that the tripod in Dune does not collapse is because the Guild does not seek to dominate, it only seeks to exist. I know some of you probably thought that the Emperor would be the most powerful pillar, but he is not. The Emperor and the Landsraad cannot function without transport. Transport equals trade. Without trade, the Landsraad becomes stranded planets bereft of foreign materials that keep them functioning. The Emperor is only Emperor if he can reach his subjects. The Guild is the key to the entire structure. continued in podcast... RECOMMENDED READING: Dune The relevant book for the episode will always be in resources.

Happy Canada Day for the Canadians. Happy second week of July for everyone else. What do I mean by re-cap, and why isn’t this a mini-sode? Well, I mean I’m going to brush up a few topics because that’s part of this chapter. The loose ends here are expansions and re-enforcements of things we already know, so I’ll just go over them fairly quickly because I want to acknowledge them rather than gloss right past them.

This is the first chapter to bring it up, and it does so through Paul’s dreams and in Mohaim’s predictions regarding the fate of The Atreides Family and humanity itself. By what mechanism are these powers explained and is it possible for such a thing to happen? I believe that the explanation is possible, but the precision displayed relies on an idea that is unproven, possibly unprovable, but has some foundations in reality. In this episode we will discuss that premise, but also give a bit of a nod to a more reachable form of prediction. First off, we need to discuss what we mean by prophecy. Prophecy is not, for instance, saying that you have the docs appointment next Tuesday at 2 o’clock. That’s merely the knowledge that you have an appointment. Prophecy is saying that not only will you definitely make that appointment, you will arrive in the office at 1:42:37 and the receptionist will be wearing a green shirt, the doctor will arrive and not have died in a horrible accident at some time within the next week, as will you. Now, some of those predictions may seem a little obvious. Which ones, do you think, are obvious? Personally, I think none of them are. The number of factors that go into that prediction are astronomical. The receptionist’s green shirt would require you to know the receptionist, know that she has a green shirt, and how she decides what to wear. Your arrival, and the time of it, is the only thing with which you would be able to have any type of control, but that is only if you manage to avoid accidental interference in your schedule. For this prediction to come true all three people involved would have to avoid the chance of a serious accident. Again, you could lock yourself in a very safe room with pre-screened and analyzed water and food to help ensure your arrival, but chances are you won’t go through all that trouble and neither will the other two people. The ability to say that an event is definitely going to happen is not dependent as much on a set of events that occurs, rather it is also dependent on a set of events that does not occur. The best you can come up with in predicting that you will be at your doctor appointment is “probably”. Let’s make a thought experiment that is simpler, or at least has less movement. Two planets are in orbit around a star, and each is exactly 100 miles in diameter. The star is stable and does not have any indications that it will explode at any time in the near future, and for simplicity sake, entropy is not operating at all in this thought experiment. The orbits of the two planets are, at this moment, positioned so that one is directly in between the other planet and the star and orbit in opposite directions. Do you have that scenario? Good. Because we are going to add a complication. At one point in their orbits the paths of the planets coincide, meaning that both planets are located in the same place at that point. Both planets have an orbit of one of our Earth years, with one exception. One planet revolves to the same point every 365 days exactly, and I mean 24 hour days exactly. The other planet revolves to the same point every 365 days minus one second. I’ll explain the points at which these paths cross. Imagine the face of a clock and both planets are currently at 12 o’clock. The point at which the paths intersect is at 3 o’clock. Planet one, which is the planet that travels at 365 days exactly is traveling counterclockwise. Planet two, which is the slightly slower planet, travels in a clockwise direction.

I’m not necessarily going to do that today because this is a minisode, a break in continuity where I talk about things that have to do with the podcast in general and so can be safely listened to out of order. For returning listeners, yes, I went with the mini episode option, and I have posted the entire transcript because I wanted this one fully available. The reason why I decided to do these things is actually multiple reasons, not the least of which is that shortly after posting this episode I will be knee-deep in forest, tent, and camp fires, rather than a couple of days to myself where I can refine the normal episode format, and then record and edit it. There is a holiday for me and the rest of the US this weekend, and it occurs to me, and I'm not sure how I managed it -- although I assure you it was not intentional -- that the release of my episodes seems to coincide with a number of holidays, and at least one wedding, so far. I have to say it is amazing what one will subconsciously subject oneself to when plotting things out. But I still persevere in the happy thought that any day now will come a conveniently long stretch of peace and quiet where I will magically be able to get a lot of things done in a single go. So what will I talk about in this shorter, non-canon episode? Happily, it will be a bit of this and a bit of that. Yes, quite definitely. Unfortunately, while doing the last two episodes I noticed a certain amount of dryness that distressed me, but of course not enough for me to not go ahead with them stubbornly. Of course, my subject matter was decidedly depressing, nonetheless I feel that I do want to take a bit of time to think about some questions of style. I actually listen to a number of podcasts myself and I'm often quite envious of the more professional ones. Of course some of those podcasts, I suspect, are done in a nice quiet studio with expensive equipment and a team of people paid to make sure it all sounds good. I do not have that luxury, I am a single person, whose equipment is decidedly unprofessional. I am still inspired, however, by a few podcasts that I do listen to that I definitely know have none of those expensive advantages and manage quite well, so I do remain optimistic. I have spent much my life teaching myself various things and becoming quite good at them over the years. There is always a chance -- and there are number of endeavors in my past that have failed utterly -- that becoming a one man public orator and sound production team will not be successful. But as I said just a few minutes ago I can be stubborn as all get out. I am going to be upgrading some of my equipment, though. I realize that it is coming up on a year since I seriously started to plan out getting started and that some of the equipment that I bought at that time was more about frugality then quality. I think it may be time to correct that and also to pick up some other things that I want to bring to bear. One of those will most certainly be a potentially better microphone, as this one, while it works and was within budget at the time, also has to be kept distressingly close to the mouth necessitating a lot more editing of unpleasant noises then I really feel like doing anymore. And while I'm at it, my computer is also rapidly going out of date so that should be done as well and with all the things that I have planned, there will be a lot of upgrading over the next few months,

There will be a bit about the governing bodies of the Dune Universe, a bit about attitudes towards certain classes, a dash of this, and a pinch of that. What is being used here are tidbits, so they will be discussed briefly. These are parts that we will use to build bigger ideas with later on. Shall we begin? I think the best place to start is to discuss the Baron’s goals here. To understand what the Baron is going after you have to understand the political ladder he is trying to claw his way up. He is seeking power within the Landsraad. What is the Landsraad? To put it simply, the Landsraad is the ruling body of the Galactic Empire. It is similar to a house of lords. The members of the Landsraad are the landed gentry. The word Landsraad is Norwegian and translates to country counsel. The Landsraad is a kind of Parliament where the ruling classes govern human affairs throughout the Galactic Empire, at least the big things. The small things are governed on a planetary level by the individual rulers. There are major houses, which control entire planets and even multiple planets, and there are minor houses which are very wealthy but do not control things on a worldwide level. The relative rank and power of its members is tracked by standing in CHOAM. What is CHOAM? Again we have an etymological puzzle to go through. CHOAM is an acronym that stands for Combined Honnet Ober Advancer Mercantile. Combined and Mercantile indicate that this is a corporation. Indeed, it is the corporation. Honnet is an interesting word because it translates, with different spellings, as Honesty in French, Swedish, and Japanese, a multi-sourced word with a single translation. It stands for trust and honesty and fairness no matter the source. And then we have Ober, which I’m pronouncing wrong. It is a German word with the simple translation of Waiter. But it doesn’t just mean waiter. It is also the name of a playing card in German deck, where instead of a Queen you would have the Ober. If I had to guess at the etymology in this, the Ober is a servant of the king, indeed a second in command, who is only outranked by the king. Much like the word valet could refer to a trusted servant of a nobleman, but also refer to the person who parks your car for you, I think that Ober has similar origins. If you think about it, at one time the person who served the king his food, his personal waiter or cup-bearer, was the most trusted and possibly the most powerful person in the kingdom, aside from the king. So you could translate CHOAM as the association of honest service for the advancement of trade. Which sounds a little corny, but it is what it is. CHOAM is a massive corporation. What CHOAM does is keep track of the intricate network of exchange of goods. It is the corporation of the movement of merchandise. Advancing Mercantile, if you will. Every transaction in the Galactic Empire goes through CHOAM. Much like how in our current society almost anything can be bought through an Amazon.com style of website. Imagine if one of these type of online marketplaces had a monopoly on all commercial transactions, and the number of shares you own of this company would be how much political power you have. That would be similar to what CHOAM is. It is an oligarchy, but it is similar to a corporatocracy, as well as a plutocracy, and is also similar to a feudal system. The reason why this system of government seems to resemble some of the other systems is that every ...

It was a Five parter with one Mini-sode in the middle. As I said, some chapters are going to take longer than others. One thing I’m planning to do sometime this week is synopsize the the meta points we went over and post them in a list for the chapter for easy reference. I know in the mini-episode I talked about other plans and those are still in the works, I beg your patience on those. It should be obvious by now I don’t do frivolous and simple, and things will come as I feel they’re ready. I think it’ll be worth it. Today, in this installment, we’re going to concentrate primarily on the Baron Harkonnen and his immediate associates, but that will be through a lens on the nature of evil, and a specific breed of evil. I’m breaking this chapter into only two installments. One on the character of the personalities in it, and another about the allegories present in some of the comments. This chapter does not entail one of those long analysis that requires many installments – and that surprised me just as much as I'm sure that it surprises you. What topic could be more complex than evil and the main villain of the first book? Shouldn't that deserve multiple installments? The answer to both those questions is yes. Unfortunately, because we are going chapter by chapter this particular piece happens to be about the Harkonnens and I hate to break it to anyone who is a "fan" of the baron's villainous status but, Baron Harkonnen is boring. Baron Harkonnen is simply just obvious as a villain. Like black hat levels of bad guy. No pun intended, he's the type of villain you can see coming from a mile away. Dune isn't exactly about the obvious enemy. We're definitely going to talk about him, but there is no warning needed for someone like the Baron. Regarding this chapter, what the Harkonnens are is an opposite of the Atreides. The Weaknesses of the Harkonnens are the Strengths in the Atreides, and vice versa. The Harkonnens are repulsive and scary, but they are not as dangerous as one would think. Not quite. They are close, but they are too petty and emotional to be a primary evil. If, in this episode, it seems like I'm getting irritable, it is because I seem to have reached a point where power plays and politics have become repellent to me. Perhaps it's the current political landscape, and by current I mean the past decade or two. I'm not exactly sure what it is, but there is a part of me that has reached an almost unbearable level of, how should I put this, impatience with people from all different groups and in all levels of power who would gladly watch the world burn for a tiny morsel of personal advancement. What I am going to do with this chapter is take this opportunity to discuss certain personality types which are relevant here. These tend to fall under the psychological diagnosis of antisocial personality disorders. Bear in mind that I am not a mental health professional, so my descriptions will not necessarily be entirely kosher. What I'm trying to do is define terminology at this point. In layman's terms we are more familiar with sociopath, psychopath, and narcissist. Depending on who you ask, narcissism and socio-pathology are interchangeable; I want to keep them separate for my own perceptions of subtle differences. With some variations on behavior, as well as differences in causes, these three conditions all tend to display some similar signs. All will have abnormally low levels of apparent empathy. All of them are manipulative and self-centered. For all intents and purposes,

At least podcast can recognize some music.Gail NoblesNo copyrighted music huh? Well, if it's never a good idea, radio will have no problems in the future.Spreaker Blog at http://Blog.Spreaker.com – Articles and Spreaker News- I will be at the coming Mid-Atlantic Podcast Conference in Philly - Sept 9-10 - Moderating Hall of Fame Panel and Sponsoring an awards event - Live streaming at the event - http://podcastmidatlantic.comOur Tip of the Week is a Blog Post: The Benefits Of Transcribing Your Podcast AudioWhy should you transcribe your show?1. Reading or. ListeningReading is much faster than listening, and many of your show’s visitors might prefer to quickly scan a transcript of your content before listening to it – including your existing audience. It’s important that your podcast catches your listeners’ attention even before they press play, and giving them an at-a-glance look at what your podcast’s all about could help you gain new listeners and keep your current fans. In short, make sure to add (a part of) your podcast’s transcription to your show notes, and that you’ve used great artwork!2. Social Media SharingIncluding the complete text of your audio on your episode’s page makes it easier for people to share it via Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and the myriad of other social media sites out there. Your listeners can copy and paste quotes or highlight a particular section and share it with their own network in a pinch. Higher sharing rates mean more traffic towards your show. You’ll also be able to write other blog posts using your transcribed content that can be shared later on. “Some of you might podcast for the fun they get out of it, others because they want to share their expertise and yet others because they want to push their business forward. So why not reuse something you already have produced and turn it into something new.” (Podigee.com)3. Indexing & SearchThe biggest advantage to having a transcription is that search engines can easily index your content with the available text. Better indexing will lead to more search traffic and visitors, as well as long tail search traffic (meaning those obscure terms that get your episode page to appear in the search results). Your show could get linked by others, and get a higher page ranking.4. How can I easily transcribe my podcast?Creating a transcript can be tedious work, especially if your episode is particularly long. You can do it on your own, but it’s definitely a mindless task that can take up loads of time. Because of this, outsourcing this work is a good option. For our podcasters, Spreaker has partnered with Scribie to offer them the best transcription service available at unbeatable rates. If you want to know more about it, check out our Store section. https://www.spreaker.com/store/transcriptdo that is to use the right font. Another great tip from Daniel J. Lewis: Serif fonts (with “feet”), like Times New Roman, Garamond, or Bodoni, often have thin lines and small details that get lost or blurred at small sizes. Script fonts can be too ornate to be legible, unless they’re really big (and never put a script font in all-caps!). Sans serif fonts (“without feet”), like Arial, Myriad Pro, or Futura, work really well with thick or uniform-thickness lines, clear characters, and strong contrasts from the background. Let’s Dive into our main topic this week “How to Select a Podcast Name”BIG News: IAB Podcast Ad Metric Guidelines have been releasedExecutive SummaryPodcast audiences represent a growing segment of effective marketable media but inheritchallenges of legacy consumption platforms. This restricts the ability for advertisers to obtain the same data parity found in other digital mediums, limiting participation of some advertisers. This document provides an introduction to tracking Ad delivery in a podcast and attempts to provide clarity in the marketplace by describing common and existing practices. Podcasts are downloaded to a device for later listening or for online listening. In most cases the podcast file and any ads included with it are downloaded to a device that doesn't, or can't, send data about the consumption of the podcast and ads. This lack of data beyond ad delivery limits real-time measurement. In contrast, other media are consumed by reading an article and interacting with a site, playing a game, or streaming a video, all of which can be measured in real time. Even audio stations that offer music or news are streamed and measured in real time in today’s media marketplace.Unlike streaming audio, podcast listeners come from an era where files were downloaded. The medium, the distribution, and the platforms used to collect and listen are built around the habit of downloading the file. Tracking content in this time-shifted medium involves filtering server logs to produce meaningful data for measurement. Since podcast technical teams analyze server logs differently, results vary across the industry.The challenge for podcast producers and distributors is to offer buyers a set of metrics that is consistently defined and measured equally across the podcast medium. While ad measurement will always produce some discrepancy in any medium, the definitions in this document aim to reduce measurement discrepancies. This document is the first attempt to bring IAB members together, describe common practices and provide a common set of metric definitions. With a consistent set of podcast advertising metrics, buyers and sellers can engage in a conversation about campaign strategy with confidence.https://iabtechlab.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Podcast-Metrics_September_2016.pdfLet’s Dive into our main topic this week “How To Lead and Host a Successful Podcast”- What does it take to be a great podcast host? - Do you know a lot about your topic genre? - Do you know how to use a microphone? - Amazing podcast hosts are funny, engaging, friendly (usually) and informed. This is how you can get people to love you over time. Also value your listeners, interact with them as much as possible.- The art of spoken delivery is something that will take time, practice and passion. I know that this seems as though it is something simple, but being great at something just doesn’t happen overnight. - Smile a lot before you record and it will make a HUGE difference in your Show!!1.

How can I easily transcribe my podcast?Creating a transcript can be tedious work, especially if your episode is particularly long. You can do it on your own, but it’s definitely a mindless task that can take up loads of time. Because of this, outsourcing this work is a good option. For our podcasters, Spreaker has partnered with Scribie to offer them the best transcription service available at unbeatable rates. If you want to know more about it, check out our Store section. https://www.spreaker.com/store/transcriptdo that is to use the right font. Another great tip from Daniel J. Lewis: Serif fonts (with “feet”), like Times New Roman, Garamond, or Bodoni, often have thin lines and small details that get lost or blurred at small sizes. Script fonts can be too ornate to be legible, unless they’re really big (and never put a script font in all-caps!). Sans serif fonts (“without feet”), like Arial, Myriad Pro, or Futura, work really well with thick or uniform-thickness lines, clear characters, and strong contrasts from the background. Let’s Dive into our main topic this week “How to Select a Podcast Name”BIG News: IAB Podcast Ad Metric Guidelines have been releasedExecutive SummaryPodcast audiences represent a growing segment of effective marketable media but inheritchallenges of legacy consumption platforms. This restricts the ability for advertisers to obtain the same data parity found in other digital mediums, limiting participation of some advertisers. This document provides an introduction to tracking Ad delivery in a podcast and attempts to provide clarity in the marketplace by describing common and existing practices. Podcasts are downloaded to a device for later listening or for online listening. In most cases the podcast file and any ads included with it are downloaded to a device that doesn't, or can't, send data about the consumption of the podcast and ads. This lack of data beyond ad delivery limits real-time measurement. In contrast, other media are consumed by reading an article and interacting with a site, playing a game, or streaming a video, all of which can be measured in real time. Even audio stations that offer music or news are streamed and measured in real time in today’s media marketplace.Unlike streaming audio, podcast listeners come from an era where files were downloaded. The medium, the distribution, and the platforms used to collect and listen are built around the habit of downloading the file. Tracking content in this time-shifted medium involves filtering server logs to produce meaningful data for measurement. Since podcast technical teams analyze server logs differently, results vary across the industry.The challenge for podcast producers and distributors is to offer buyers a set of metrics that is consistently defined and measured equally across the podcast medium. While ad measurement will always produce some discrepancy in any medium, the definitions in this document aim to reduce measurement discrepancies. This document is the first attempt to bring IAB members together, describe common practices and provide a common set of metric definitions. With a consistent set of podcast advertising metrics, buyers and sellers can engage in a conversation about campaign strategy with confidence.https://iabtechlab.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Podcast-Metrics_September_2016.pdfLet’s Dive into our main topic this week “How To Lead and Host a Successful Podcast”- What does it take to be a great podcast host? - Do you know a lot about your topic genre? - Do you know how to use a microphone? - Amazing podcast hosts are funny, engaging, friendly (usually) and informed.

Follow iTunes’ requirementsiTunes is the largest podcast directory, and the most popular, so it’s important to make sure your artwork adheres to its requirements. As stated in iTunes’ help section, they require that Podcast feeds contain artwork that is a minimum size of 1400 x 1400 pixels and a maximum size of 3000 x 3000 pixels, 72 dpi, in JPEG or PNG format with appropriate file extensions (.jpg, .png), and in the RGB colorspace. To optimize images for mobile devices, Apple recommends compressing your image files to 500K size max.2. Design it for scalabilityEven if iTunes requires min. 1400 x 1400 images, always remember that your cover art can get scaled down at any point, so it must remain legible even when its dimensions are really small. Starting creating your artwork with the smallest size first, like 600x600, 300x300, 125 x 125, 75x75 or 55 x 55. If it still looks good and you can clearly make out what’s there, it’s perfect! Podcasters: make sure your cover artwork looks great and is legible when scaled down.3. Use high quality images or vector graphicsThe last thing to keep in mind when it comes to sizes and pixels is that even if you’ve sized your artwork correctly, it will still look bad if the images aren’t high quality in the first place, and you’ll spoil the final product. You can find great, high quality pictures on the many free stock picture websites around, like pexels.com or istockphoto.com. You can also try creating cover artwork with vector graphics using Canva.com. If you’re comfortable with Adobe’s suite, you’ll also find some great readymade vector graphics on freepik.com. 4. Keep it consistent with your brandGenerally speaking, you should never underestimate the importance of brand consistency: you want to stay recognizable and familiar to your listeners no matter what they see. It’s why you should use the same logo, fonts, and general color scheme for your artwork on Spreaker, iTunes, and every other podcatcher, as well as your website, social network pages, and accounts. We recommend you create a template for episode images, so that you can distinguish episodes from each other, yet still keep them consistent with the show’s overall artwork.5. Make it eye-catchingAs listeners browse through shows on Spreaker, they’ll be deciding in a matter of seconds what to pass up based solely on who has attractive or unattractive images. So, consider creating artwork with bold contrast, and try to use images that will immediately convey what your podcast is about. The best podcast cover artwork is simple + iconographic. Keep to ONE logo (avoid network logos) to ensure legibility6. Easily communicate what your podcast is aboutYour show’s art is the first thing your listeners will see, even before listening to your podcast. That’s why it has to visually evoke the content of your show to your listeners. The question you should answer with your artwork is: what is my show about? 7. Use few wordsThere’s no time to read, not even a haiku! This is not the place to explain with words what your show is about. Save those syllables for your podcast description section! Daniel J. Lewis of The Audacity To Podcast gave this great advice: “The easiest word to remove from your cover art can be the word ‘podcast,’ as it’s really unnecessary in your title. Think of ‘podcast’ as the label for your distribution method (which it actually is, technically) and not part of your title unless necessary.”8. Don’t use more than 2 fontsYour artwork’s text needs to be legible, even at the tiniest dimensions, and the easiest way to do that is to use the right font. Another great tip from Daniel J. Lewis: Serif fonts (with “feet”), like Times New Roman, Garamond, or Bodoni, often have thin lines and small details that get lost or blurred at small sizes. Script fonts can be too ornate to be legible, unless they’re really big (and never put a script font in all-caps!). Sans serif fonts (“without feet”), like Arial, Myriad Pro, or Futura, work really well with thick or uniform-thickness lines, clear characters, and strong contrasts from the background. 9. Avoid overused imagesLike the word “podcast”, try to avoid microphones, headsets, and other overused pictures of podcasting gear. Podcasting is the medium, just focus on the great content you’re sharing and make it eye-catching by following all our previous steps! (The only exceptions are podcasts about podcasting!) Don’t be overwhelmed at all the steps we’ve listed above, it’s not as daunting as it seems! But if you really think it’s too much work or you’re not confident enough in your design skills, consider paying an artist who can quickly make high quality graphic designs for you.
