S1E8 "A Dream" & "Blimpophobia" & "Private Bates"
Episode description
Exploring three of C.S. Lewis’s articles from 1944: “Blimpophobia,” “A Dream,” and “Private Bates.” In all of these Lewis voices his concerns over political leaders extending their emergency powers too far for too long at the end of WW2. Lewis explains why this may backfire and lead to worse circumstances the next time a world crisis happens and gives some warnings about what happens when the general public becomes disillusioned with potential propaganda from government and media. Sound familiar? We thought so too. Fortunately, Lewis has some good wisdom for us to consider moving ahead in our own “post-Covid” world.
