(I am releasing this episode again, just in case your podcatcher is being stubborn and refuses to yield the raw episode I inadvertently uploaded this morning--Chris)
As he discusses the second part of Prince Caspian the second book in the Chronicles of Narnia, Chris is joined by three special guests:
Logan Huggins, our producer (who did yet another amazing job with this episode)
Mez Blume, author of Churchill's S.O.C.K.s and several other excellent books
Sophie Burkhardt, from the podcast Beneath the Willow Tree

(Apologies to our listeners--and Logan--for uploading the unedited version at first this morning!  That is entirely my fault, and I promise you will enjoy this one more--Chris)
Join us as we discuss Lewis' occasionally awkward but profound Narnian novel.  Among other things, we talk about:
What stars and trees have in common
Becoming a beast and George MacDonald's The Princess and Curdie
Re-enchantment of (and human rule over) nature
Aslan's Socratic rebukes
Aslan's breath as the "ruach" that moves the trees
Growing up without "growing up"
Lewis on chivalry
Play as the possible redemption of Susan
Aslan and the gods
Tolkien and Lewis as Lego Masters and Narnia as a grafted world

As always, if you have questions and contributions, feel free to email us at [email protected].  We'd love to hear from you.
For the view that the Bacchic "romp" is a response to Tolkien, see Joe R. Christopher, "J.R.R. Tolkien: Narnian Exile," in Mythlore 55(Autumn 1988), pp. 41-42.
