Infinite Infinite Jest Jest

For us in the Northern Hemisphere, the winter solstice is upon us, and Caitlin and Jenny discuss some Basic Lady ways to pause and appreciate it. Things are only getting brighter now.

Jennity and Caitlin bridge the gap between Halloween and Christmas with ghosts, which are real, whether or not you've had three margaritas.

Jenny and Caitlin extend the most sacred of seasons for an episode-long Basic Witches' Corner.

Happy Halloween! Jenny and Caitlin talk about the worst debate and The Worst Witch, and discover that a game of M/F/K is better than therapy.

We're back! If you want to hear the new book we're not reading, first you have to get through about 20 minutes of Caitlin and Jenny talking about whistles and cinnamon brooms. Welcome to season 3!

Your IIJJ hosts are getting ready for the cinematic event of 2019, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, by recapping their recent viewing of 2014's Maleficent.

And it's our season 2 finale, so we say good riddance to Jonathan Franzen and The Corrections. We'll be back in October with season 3, and if you have suggestions for what we should not read next year, let us know!

Jenny has been rewatching Doctor Who, so naturally Caitlin has to ask which character is most likely to tell you to read Infinite Jest.

In the penultimate episode of season 2, we request your recommendations for what not to read next, make our second-to-last guesses as to what The Corrections is about, and discuss why Donna is the best companion (don't @ us).

Al Franken is still trash, Wendy Davis is putting on her running (for Congress) shoes, and this week's debates are going to get us all drunk.

Hickenlooper is a scientist! And other things we learned in the debates. Jenny and Caitlin also discuss what The Corrections might be about.

Caitlin and Jenny might be dating Joe Biden? Who can really say.
