Sorry this is so late, all. Caitlin finished recording and immediately f*cked off to Mexico for a week, letting Jenny do all the work. But look at it this way, now you have something extra to be thankful for!

This includes you, our international friends: Eat a big meal and then sit back and enjoy musings on US midterm election results, directing Nick Kroll, Sound of Music spoilers, and some crowning achievements. Now you have a little taste of what American Thanksgiving is all about.

Infinite Jest isn't the only book Caitlin and Jenny will never read. We're looking at you, Donna Brazile.

Abraham Lincoln predicts that he will never read Infinite Jest, Caitlin and Jenny predict that Paul Manafort will be indicted six days ago, and the campaign to get Josh Ritter to write the new IIJJ theme song begins. Then for some light, cheerful conversation, your hosts revisit election night 2016.

The Good Place is the Chandrasekhar of television while IIJJ is just the Spinderella of podcasting. Caitlin and Jenny have fun with metaphors and Google Doodles. Also, please consider this a reminder to check on your Sims.

You may be a little foggy on what this podcast is about, but don't let that rain on your parade. Throw caution to the wind and have a listen, and we're sure it'll put you on cloud nine, weather or not you've ever read Infinite Jest.

Jenny and Caitlin talk about stilts and #metoo, then discuss Kelly Link, science fiction, and YA literature with their very first Infinite Guest (she kind of steals their thunder).

You know who deserves a Nobel prize? Whoever created knock-knock jokes. (Give it a second.)

Anyway, Caitlin and Jenny tape up some evidence to those weird windows and get to the bottom of which Scandal character will tell you to read Infinite Jest. It's handled.

Put on your best MFA workshop voice and settle in with your favorite Jeff while Margaret Atwood throws some shade. Caitlin and Jenny discuss the rich history of female Nobel Laureates and give their predictions for the Nobel Prize in Super Bowl halftime shows.

Bonjour! In what language are you not reading Infinite Jest? How many degrees of separation are you from a famous Harmon? What piece of legislation sounds most like the name of a dude who will tell you to read Infinite Jest? Join Jenny and Caitlin for all this and more.

Jenny flubs the introduction, Caitlin makes a salad using America's favorite breakfast cereal, and no one does anything illegal or immoral to watch cable TV. Plus a crass literary game and what we think Infinite Jest is about this week.

Caitlin and Jenny discuss Happy Endings, '90s gymnasts, things that get pickled, and 101 Things For Kids To Do That Are Not Reading Infinite Jest. Plus listener mail!
