Ciphers, cosmology, cryptology — oh my! This long-awaited episode delves into the pages and the mystery of what some have called the most mysterious manuscript in the world: the Voynich Manuscript, now in the collection of the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. Come for the discussion of a medieval plumbing fantasy, stay in spite of the limp vellum and the parts where Lindsay sounds a little like Daffy Duck.
