Daniel recaps the final third of The Infinitive Of Go, where Justin gets an infinitive complex, Justin and Cinnamon throw a party, and no, really, it's equivalent exchange.     — Goodreads summary of the book: CODE NAME POSTER The first practical matter transmitter was a success, or so everyone thought. In spite of paranoid security restrictions, Justin Williams and Cinnamon Wright, co-inventors of the device, counted on it to revolutionize civilization and gain them an honored place in history.

Our Conjure Wife coverage extends to three film adaptations that each take a very different approach to the original text. In this companion episode, Shelby and Jenni from the Wives' Tales podcast join Daniel and Linzi to discuss the 1962 adaptation "Burn, Witch, Burn" (aka "Night of the Eagle"). Of the three movies, this one has the highest production standards and men's trousers.
