The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane follows intrepid Harvard grad student Connie Goodwin as she looks for a magic spell book from colonial America… very slowly. We’re halfway through this novel and so far Connie thinks the book might exist. Somewhere. Maybe.

Basically, if you were a fan of the first 10 pages of Harry Potter before anything good happened, and hoped that it would take roughly 6 hours to read through, you’ll love this. For anyone else, it turns out this is the perfect book to take a nap to.

Joining us is Mike, a real-live history grad student who does his best to class up the podcast with some academic rigor.

Nick returns to the show and gives us insight into waffle cones, book-induced Lasik, and how many baths Demi Moore took when she was a Puritan.

Also, there might be witches afoot. Expect the amount of cackling to go up exponentially.
