Description
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
