S2E28 – Bonus – “You don’t know Jack!” Aug 20, 2019

Show notes

This episode is quite different from our usual Pints With Jack episodes. Rather than interviewing a scholar or discussing a chapter of Lewis' work with Matt, I'm going to be reading an article I wrote which gives a rough outline of Lewis' life.

S2E27 – AH – Dale Ahlquist Aug 13, 2019

Show notes

t has been my desire for a while to introduce the listeners to other members of the Inklings, as well as authors who greatly influenced Lewis. Today we look at G.K. Chesterton and our special guest who will be introducing us to this great man is renowned Chesterton scholar and champion, Dale Ahlquist.

S2E26 – PC – “Caspian Continued…” Aug 06, 2019

Show notes

In the previous episode we began discussing the second book in "The Chronicles of Narnia", which is called "Prince Caspian". In this episode, we finish our discussion. 00:38 Continued Analysis 22:29 Overall review of the book 27:00 Surprise Haiku!

S2E25 – PC – “Prince Caspian” Jul 30, 2019

Show notes

Each Season we discuss briefly one of the Chronicles of Narnia. In Season 1 we read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. This Season, we're reading Prince Caspian, as it was the second book to be published. In comparison to the previous book, Prince Caspian is less familiar to most people so we had to spend more time outlining the plot, so Matt and I ended up having to break up our discussion over two episodes. 01:54 Quote-of-the-week 03:16 Drink-of-the-week 06:00 Thematic overview 09:36 Recap of previous book 10:09 Discuss Prince Caspian

S2E24 – Bonus – “God Save The Queen!” Jul 23, 2019

Show notes

A rather unusual episode this week! My girlfriend and I recently went on vacation to England, so we thought it'd be fun to sit down and tell you all about it, including how we got to play with the personal belongings of a literary giant, as well as have lunch with an Inkling's grandson!

Today I speak to Dr. Louis Markos, Professor in English at Houston Baptist University and author of the book Heaven and Hell: Visions of the Afterlife in the Western Poetic Tradition. In this work, Professor Markos devotes a chapter to The Great Divorce, as well as the book to which Lewis was responding, Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
