Matt and I have finally launched a Patreon account! If you want to financially support the podcast, we'll send you swag! In this episode, we outline the different tiers available and interview Nick, our audio engineer...
Orual tries to work out what's going on with Psyche by discussing the matter with Bardia and the Fox. Is she mad? Who is it that comes to her in the night? The god? The Brute? A man?
Orual has finally found Psyche, but their meeting doesn't go as expected, as it turns out they experience life on the Mountain very differently...
After a couple of weeks off, we return to Glome and Till We Have Faces. Orual ascends the mountain to bury what remains of Psyche, and she is met with quite a surprise...
Matt and I didn't manage to get together to record this week, so I thought I'd do a solo episode today. Last month I was on the Talking Beasts podcast discussing Dr. Michael Ward's The Narnia Code and therefore thought it would make a good subject for today's episode.
In previous years, Matt and I have recorded a Christmas episode, but we thought that for this year we'd record a New Year Show. We chat about our New Year traditions, as well as our hopes for 2020...
Psyche has been condemned to be sacrificed. Orual and the Fox try and convince the King to take action. When this fails, Orual visits Psyche, but is it to receive or give comfort?
We last left Oroual during a happy time in her life. Over the course of the upcoming chapters, life in Glome takes a turn for the worst...
Today we get stuck into the chapters of Till We Have Faces! In the first two chapters of the book, Lewis sets the scene for his story in the fictional city of Glome.
Today we finally begin Season 3! After covering some podcast housekeeping, we are introduced to Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis expert, Andrew Lazo.
To round off Season 3, I thought I’d share a recording of a vignette from The Great Divorce which I recorded some time ago, back […]
We've had quite a lot of episodes recently, but we didn't want to not post anything this Tuesday morning, so I thought I'd share the talk I gave after the conference at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Charlotte.
Last night I gave a talk in Charlotte, North Carolina, on C.S. Lewis, telling the story of how he came to faith in Christ and how this journey influenced his own subsequent evangelistic efforts.
Matt and I talk about the final day of the International C.S. Lewis Symposium and our final adventure before leaving North Carolina.
It's our second day at the C.S. Lewis Symposium. Matt and I sit down before dinner and discuss the events of the day...
Matt and I are in Montreat for the International C.S. Lewis Symposium. It's the end of the first day and so we pull out the microphones and have a quick chat...
I'm sitting in the airport in Charlotte, North Carolina, waiting for Matt, so I thought I'd record a quick message and share with you an extract from my interview on The Catholic Man Show where I talk about The Screwtape Letters.
This is just a short episode to announce the launch of our new Pints With Jack logo! This design came from Matthew James Covington from Plena Gratia Designs.
In preparation for our reading of Till We Have Faces, Matt interviews Emily LaPorte.
Today Matt and I finish up last week's recording by reading some listener mail.
It's been a while since Matt and I got behind a microphone together. Today we bring you up-to-speed with what's been happening in our lives. We had intended to also read some listener messages, but we ran out of time. We'll do that in the next episode!
At the beginning of Season 2, I interviewed author Patti Callahan about her latest book, Becoming Mrs. Lewis. Now at the close of the Season, Patti returns to talk to Matt about her own podcast, Behind the Scenes of Becoming Mrs. Lewis.
Several times on Pints With Jack I have spoken about another podcast, "Unbelievable?", hosted by Justin Brierley. Earlier in this Season I spoke about reading Justin's book, remarking on the considerable number of C.S. Lewis quotations found throughout. Following that episode, Justin and I connected on Twitter and I invited him onto the show to talk about C.S. Lewis, his faith, his podcast and his book.
Probably the most useful book I read during Season 2 of Pints With Jack was C.S. Lewis Goes To Heaven by David Clark. In today's episode I interviewed Dr. Clark to discuss his book and wrap up our discussion of The Great Divorce. 01:51 – Introducing Dr. Clark 08:34 – Did the book take long to write? 09:14 – What’s the main point of Lewis' book? 10:31 – What is the structure of your book? 11:54 – What were Lewis' sources? 14:52 – The Sociology 21:01 – The Geography 25:24 – The Theolog...
I was recently interviewed as a guest on two different podcasts: The Counsel of Trent and the Classical Theism Podcast. This episode contains clips from those interviews to whet your appetite for the full episodes... 00:40 COT Clip, Episode #190 04:44 COT Clip, Episode #191 10:05 CTP Clip, Episode #59
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.
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.
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!
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 ...
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!
