Episode 116: The Beginning / Epilogue, Part 1

A sprawling science fantasy comedic adventure romance, with goblins and cannons!  Johnathan Miller has harbored a secret flame for his childhood friend Merrily Hunter for years, and as Midsummer's Eve approaches he's ready to make his move. But when a cranky, sharp-tongued professor of Applied History rides into town looking for a lost book, Johnathan and Merrily quickly find themselves swept up in an adventure that will take them to the very edges of history, language, and probability. They join a host of colorful men, women, goblins, fey, snarfs, horses, and strange outsiders, all set in a world grappling with the consequences of scientific advance, political unrest, and religious debate.
