Ep 23: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was C. S. Lewis's first story about Narnia, a magical alternate world that blends Christian and pagan  concepts. In this episode, we discuss prophesy pitfalls, balk at the unexplored horror of returning to your child-body, and wonder if the moral of the story is that sometimes, kids, it is okay to kill people.

  1. Hey! Friendly listener here to say I loved this ep (y'all are literally the only podcast I listen to these days) and that as a Narnia fan I can 1000% confirm that The Magician's Nephew (aka the prequel to this book) answers A LOT about what the witch's backstory is, what this deep magic stuff is, why are the animals named as they are, and what the heck the lamppost is doing there.

    [I can also confirm that the sequel book, Prince Caspian, does mention how the Penseives dealt with the age change- hint: childhood imagination is a glorious thing]

    Still, keep on keeping on, and look forward to hearing the Sparks take in a couple weeks!

    1. Thanks so much for letting us know! And thanks for listening, despite how obviously uninformed we are. :)
