Podcast Overview

This is an experiment. We are attempting to turn our book club Zoom calls into a podcast series. We will be reading, discussing, and dissecting Infinite Jest, written by David Foster Wallace. This group is comprised of mostly repeat readers of the novel, so spoilers may abound. Addendum- We are rolling now. Try as we may, inevitably we will skip over parts that you may have found noteworthy, or we may screw up entirely! Feel free to let me know what you think, but be kind please, this is a hobby

IJBC S3, Ep 15: Are these idiots still talking?

Yup. We are almost at the end of our journey, a nearly page by page breakdown of Infinite Jest. Today we about Barry Loach, The made by allusions to other literary works, like 1984, and On The Road, and how it ties up this book and the reader. The etymology of JOI? Sure, we've got that too...And a (possibly homosexual) sauna murder. What?! Who's there?
