Podcasts about narnia

We begin 2026 with a question: What if the most decisive battles in our time aren't fought with ballots or bombs—but with the imagination?Watch the full conversation on YouTube Russell Moore talks with historian and author Joseph Loconte about The War for Middle-earth, his book on how World War I and World War II forged the friendship, faith, and fiction of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Together they explore why The Lord of the Rings and Narnia weren't escapist detours from reality, but a deliberate counter-assault on cynicism, propaganda, and the will to power—written by men who had seen the trenches up close and knew exactly what modern darkness looks like. Loconte and Moore talk about why World War I has slipped from our cultural memory, what protected Tolkien from the disillusionment that swallowed so many of his peers, and why both writers keep insisting that deeds done in the dark are “not wholly in vain.” They also discuss Lewis's warning about the “cataract of nonsense” in modern media, and why genuine friendship is almost never built by chasing “community”—but by pursuing a shared mission so compelling you find yourself fighting alongside someone. Loconte shares the origin story of the Lewis–Tolkien friendship, why grace—not grit—is the hinge point in both Middle-earth and Narnia, and where to start if you've never read either author: The Screwtape Letters for Lewis, and Tolkien's short, haunting “Leaf by Niggle.” Resources mentioned in this episode: By J.R.R.

The Munsons welcome back OG Munson Warren Hicks alongside 7-time guest Munson Matti Groll—better known online as FlygonHG—for a deep dive into the fascinating, sometimes confounding career of Greta Gerwig. For most of the crew, this episode doubles as a crash course in the Mumblecore movement and Gerwig's central role in defining it, setting the stage for a career that would eventually take a sharp and surprising turn. We can't help but fixate on what the year 2011 did to her acting trajectory with No Strings Attached and Arthur, and after revisiting a large chunk of her filmography, we collectively question whether there's enough range—either in project choice or performance—for her to truly stand out as an actor. That debate leads us into tracing how those acting decisions likely shaped her later work behind the camera, and how her writing abilities allow certain characters to feel vividly alive even when the performances themselves are understated. We explore her unmistakable inspiration from Woody Allen and express genuine surprise she hasn't collaborated more with Wes Anderson. Along the way, we once again find ourselves consulting one of our favorite websites, DoesTheDogDie.com, for two Gerwig films, and we speculate wildly about what her upcoming take on Narnia might look like. By the end, we're left wrestling with how to score a career split between acting and directing—and whether those skillsets should even be judged the same way. How does she rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.

Advent is a time of great anticipation as we await the Christ-child entering our world at Christmas. This year, through the imagination of C.S. Lewis and his book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, join us on Sunday mornings as we uncover the story of the birth of Christ in a new way. Among all the Pevensie children, Edmund is unique. He is duped by the White Witch, enslaved by her promises and judicious giftings of Turkish delight. He struggles to know what is true. He turns on his siblings and endangers all of Narnia. And then he is found, redeemed, and returned to service as a soon-to-be-King of Narnia. This week, Evan Gratz discusses how at this time of year, when we set aside what we have been and work to set new patterns and habits for the new year, Edmund's story might inspire all of us to seek forgiveness, redemption, and new work as a part of Christ's kingdom.

One of my favorite moments In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe , is when Father Christmas suddenly arrives. Narnia has been locked under a curse for a hundred years. Always winter. Never Christmas. Life continues, but it's cold, stalled, and joyless. Nothing moves forward. Nothing truly changes…

"Wrong will be right when Aslan comes in sight, at the sound of his roar sorrows will be no more, when he bares his teeth winter will meet its death, and when he shakes his mane we shall have spring again."   We live in a world that is ravaged by sin and brokeness. Though it can feel like this "winter" season is forever, Christ is on the move! We can cling to His promises and trust in His Word, finding courage, hope, and joy.    Scriptures Referenced: Psalm 30:5 Isaiah 40:31 Jeremiah 29:11 John 16:33 Romans 15:13 II Corinthians 4:16-18 I Peter 1:3-4 Revelation 21:4   Resources Referenced: FREE DOWNLOAD!

Advent is a time of great anticipation as we await the Christ-child entering our world at Christmas. This year, through the imagination of C.S. Lewis and his book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, join us on Sunday mornings as we uncover the story of the birth of Christ in a new way. There is a wonderful scene in chapter 16 of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in which Aslan is instructing all the Narnian creatures where they will go and what they will do in the battle with the White Witch. He says, "Those who are good with their noses must come in front with us lions to smell out where the battle is." A recently de-petrified lion bounds in and among the other warriors exclaiming, "Us Lions. That's what I like about Aslan. No side, no stand-off-ishness. Us Lions. That meant him and me." In this we hear again the good news of the incarnation. God does not declare humanity too broken or earth too dirty. Nothing is beneath him. God, in Christ, came to earth so that he might also declare, "Us Humans." This is the miracle we celebrate on Christmas Eve: God has become one of us humans.

Happy holidays, lil onions! As our gift to you this season, we've got a special extended episode on one of Ross' favorite fantasy films The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe (2005).  There's so much lore here, folks. Carie surprisingly comes to the defense of Edmund Penvensie when he falls for the White Witch's charms. Ross provides a deep dive on the origins of Narnia and how it came to be vis a vi The Magician's Nephew, as well as pointing out a frustrating plot hole regarding Jadis' demise. Also Santa is here? Which makes sense. After all, the Jesus lion is here as well! Thank you all again so much for supporting us this year.

A single barroom question—will the terror ever stop—can change how you see duty, faith, and the meaning of peace. We open with prayer and a grateful nod to everyone holding families, churches, and towns together, then step into a hard conversation about violence, vigilance, and what actually protects ordinary people. The tension is real, so we turn to Scripture for a truer compass: Proverbs on faithful marriage, Matthew 4 on repentance and calling, and Psalm 4 on quieting anger and trusting God for peace that outlasts harvests and headlines.History gives the ideas flesh. We read the Medal of Honor citation for Staff Sergeant William J. Bordelon at Tarawa, where courage looked like wet sand, pillboxes, and a choice to go again under fire. That story reframes our comfort and reminds us that security has names and graves. We pair it with FDR's 1936 Christmas messages, weaving Dickens' transformation with the Sermon on the Mount. The claim lands with weight: policies matter, but a nation cannot claim to seek peace while ignoring Christ's commands. Repentance, mercy, and fidelity are not soft words; they are the spine that holds a people upright when fear and rage press in.Across the hour, we ask you to test convictions against Scripture, to thank those who serve, and to build homes that hold firm in rough weather. We offer a family-friendly book recommendation for readers who love Narnia and Percy Jackson, and we invite you to support the show if it's been useful to you. Most of all, we point to the light that still breaks into dark places. Share the gospel. Care for the cold, hungry, and afraid. Pray the Lord's Prayer like it is daily bread, and live as if peace on earth begins at your table.If this conversation challenged you or gave you hope, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a rating or review so more people can find it.

Lewis portrays a theology of creation, sin, redemption, sanctification, and new creation throughout The Chronicles of Narnia.

When the Pevensie children hear Aslan's name for the first time it does different things in each of them, revealing their hearts' truest needs. The names of Christ—"Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace"—do a similar work in us. What are we most waiting for this season?

The Presbyterian Church in Ireland held a special meeting of its general assembly on Thursday- five weeks after its moderator and clerk, the Reverend Dr Trevor Gribben, resigned over what he called serious and significant failings in its safeguarding process. Alan Meban reports from the Assembly and then Audrey talks to former PCI Moderator Norman Hamilton and Belfast Telegraph journalist Angela Davison about what it achieved.Its 75 years since The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe was published. We step into Narnia with writers Tony Macaulay and Shirley Ann McMillan and Theologian Elaine Storkey. And we also hear about the enduring popularity of the book with some kids from a local school putting on a stage version of the book this Christmas.

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we're diving into one of the biggest bottlenecks in the clean energy transition: critical minerals—the lithium, nickel, cobalt, copper, and precious metals we need for EVs, batteries, and the grid. The problem isn't that we're running out. It's that extraction and refining are expensive, polluting, and increasingly constrained by geopolitics.My guest is Adam Uliana, co-founder and CEO of Chemfinity Technologies, a startup spun out of UC Berkeley that's building a modular “metal-selective Brita filter” for refining. Chemfinity's system takes messy inputs—like e-waste, catalytic converters, industrial wastewater, and even mine tailings—and separates out high-purity metals one at a time using tunable “nano-sponge” materials. In other words: a potential way to recover critical minerals with dramatically fewer steps, less energy, and a much smaller footprint.We get into:What “critical minerals” are and why the supply chain is such a vulnerabilityThe climate and human costs of mining—and why recycling and recovery matterHow Chemfinity's process works (liquify the feedstock, then filter metals out in sequence)The real technical unlock: highly selective nanoscale materials that can distinguish near-identical metalsWhat scaling looks like: pilots now, modular systems later—including shipping-container deployments at mining sitesThe business model question: when Chemfinity sells equipment vs. when it makes sense to sell recovered metalsLinks:Chemfinity Technologies: https://www.chemfinitytech.com/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show:https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Dr. Leslie Baynes joins Chris to talk about her new book, Between Interpretation and Imagination: C.S. Lewis and the Bible.  Among other things, we discuss: Lewis' familiarity with (and attitude toward) the Bible, before and after his conversion. Biblical scholars (like Gore) who influenced Lewis' views of Scripture. Lewis and the doctrine of inerrancy The trouble with the liar/lunatic/Lord trilemma. John and the Synoptics. Biblical allusions in Narnia (and Lewis' other imaginative work). Also: Footnotes versus endnotes! Epigraphs! Bertie Wooster! Evangelion and Potatoes at Beaversdam! A big thank-you to Dr. Baynes for a great conversation. Click here to purchase her book. Questions? Comments? Concerns? Crumpets? Email me at inklingsvarietyhour@gmail.com   We'll have a few Christmas episodes (mostly rebroadcasts), but this marks the end of Season 5. We'll put a few more bonus episodes out in the next months, then pick back up in March with Season 6. Shameless self-promotion:  If, in the meantime, you feel starved for Pipkin-related content, you can feel free to buy the book Chris and his wife, Glencora, have written about celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas: Twelve Tide. If you want a free, blog-based version, just go to 12tide.com, and feel free to sign up for our email list while you're at it.   Also, there's always this, from Chris' (or Dr. Pipkin's) recent King Arthur class. 

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Leslie Baynes, associate professor in the Department of Cultures, Languages, and Religions at Missouri State University and the author of the book that we're discussing in this episode, Between Interpretation and Imagination: C. S. Lewis and the Bible (published by Eerdmans). Over the course of our conversation, we discuss Lewis's posture towards the Bible, his views on biblical scholarship, how diverse segments of Christianity claim Lewis as their own (sometimes in spite of his views on the Bible), and the way that Lewis made use of the Bible in the Chronicles of Narnia. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: the Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Adishian and Dr. John Anthony Dunne. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Thinklings Podcast — Episode 274 It's Always Christmas and Never Winter Welcome to Episode 274 of The Thinklings Podcast! In this winter-themed episode, the Thinklings lean into the spirit of the season with a mix of books, reflection, and festive frivolity. Drawing inspiration from C.S. Lewis's famous line about Narnia, the conversation ranges from Christmas literature to seasonal questions — all loosely tethered to good books, good thoughts, and good cheer. Thanks for tuning in to this week's conversation!

Advent is a time of great anticipation as we await the Christ-child entering our world at Christmas. This year, through the imagination of C.S. Lewis and his book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, join us on Sunday mornings as we uncover the story of the birth of Christ in a new way. A thaw has come to Narnia, and with it comes a forerunner of Aslan: Father Christmas bringing gifts to all the Narnian animals, the Sons of Adam, and the Daughters of Eve. The gifts he brings are meant to prepare the Pevensie children for the hard work of following Aslan, who is coming. Isaiah 35 tells the story of a spring thaw too. Meanwhile, we remember that Christ also had a forerunner in his cousin, John the Baptizer. And in baptism we receive the gifts we need to follow Christ, who is coming.

She explores the history and symbolism of a bell-laden iron device used to control and torture enslaved people and describes the replica she created after studying metalworking. She also recounts the story of Harriet Jacobs, who spent seven years hidden in her grandmother's attic before escaping slavery.

Pastor Jay Ewing reflects on Jesus as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the powerful and victorious King who brings hope and renewal. Drawing on Scripture and C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia, this episode invites listeners to trust Christ's strength, celebrate His authority, and anticipate the new life He brings even in the midst of winter.

Joe examines C.S. Lewis’s argument for male-headship, and how that applies to Christianity and the Papacy. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and I want to share a fascinating argument that CS Lewis made one that I agree with and one that I think points to the truth about the Catholic church and particularly about the papacy in ways that even he didn’t recognize at the time. Now many of Lewis as the author of works like the Chronicles of Narnia and his space trilogy, in which he presents Christian themes through the lens of fiction. But he&#...

Well, we recently talked about the first Chronicle of Narnia … the book! Yet many fans found or rediscovered this series thanks to the Disney-distributed, Walden Media–made film from director Andrew Adamson. Want to feel old? That was two decades ago! So now we shall look back at Narnia's journey to the box office with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which released twenty years ago on Dec. 9, 2005. Episode sponsors Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queen A Faie Tale by Vince Mancuso MYTH: Reign of the Immortals by J. F.

YAF.org: Mark Joseph Facebook: MJM Entertainment Group Instagram: @markjoseph00 The Lion, The Professor & The Movies: Narnia's Journey To The Big Screen Making REAGAN: A Memoir from the Producer of the REAGAN Movie 1. Narnia's journey from book to screen … The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe got one TV animation (1979) Then the story (plus two more) came to live-action BBC TV (1988) Yet it was the Walden Media–made film that went bigger (2005) That film released just twenty years ago in the U.S., Dec. 9, 2005 Mark Joseph's role from those early days as Narnia pre-producer 2. … Through the winter of production … Stephen first learned this was official in a NY Times ad Dec. 2003. Early rumors included Disney aid (true), Kidman's Witch (untrue). Director: Andrew Adamson. Early casting. Scriptwriters and team. In the afterglow of LOTR, Narnia also filmed much in New Zealand. WETA Workshop did armor work. Other studios did visual effects. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe film released Dec. 9, 2005. 3. … And into the spring of fan acclaim Teasers and trailers pleased fans, with only a few early hiccups. Against a $180 million budget, earned $745 million worldwide. Led to two sequels that earned less. Ended. Restart didn't work. Now we have Greta Gerwig starting with The Magician's Nephew. Any informal shared advice, constructive criticism, final memories. Com station Top question for listeners How did you first see The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)? Terri Hamilton recalls her Narnia origin tale (ep. 289): I found the Narnia series in my school library when I was in 4th grade, and yes, they were in the proper order. It was a watershed moment for me. I bought myself a boxed set a few years later. Boy, did I look for portals! When I get into a discussion about the book order, I point out The Magician's Nephew is a prequel, explaining the back story of the first book. Next on Fantastical Truth “We do not celebrate Christmas that way.” “We do not read those kinds of books.” “We ‘do not handle, do not taste, do not touch.'” We know our world is full of rebellion against God's law. But many people overreact to moral license with a strict imposing of out-of-context or made-up laws. Faithful saints call this legalism, and Christian fantasy fans know plenty about this. When that social-media pastor rebukes your favorite sci-fi, or that relative raises a judgy eyebrow at holiday dinners, how you can respond with grace, truth, and love for legalists?

Advent is a time of great anticipation as we await the Christ-child entering our world at Christmas. This year, through the imagination of C.S. Lewis and his book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, join us on Sunday mornings as we uncover the story of the birth of Christ in a new way. C. S. Lewis writes this story against the backdrop of war. Little children are shipped to the North of England, away from London bombings. Imagine the Pevensie children's fear and powerlessness, but also the power of a story like this to restore their hope. Two thousand years before, a girl not much older than Susan wondered, "How can this be?" The truest things are not always the most probable. Salvation comes in extraordinary ways.

Terry Lindvall returns to the show with his daughter and son-in-law to talk about "The Joy of Narnia", about teaching laughter to Middle School students.[Show Notes]

When people think of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, they often picture tweedy Oxford professors and beloved fantasy authors. But their writing wasn't drawn only from their bucolic days teaching at Oxford and walking in the English countryside; it had a darker, deeper backdrop: the trenches of World War I and the cataclysm of World War II. Lewis and Tolkien weren't just fantasy writers — they were war veterans, cultural critics, and men with firsthand knowledge of evil, heroism, and sacrifice.In today's episode, I'm joined by Joseph Loconte, returning to the show to discuss his latest book, The War for Middle Earth. We explore how both world wars shaped the perspectives of Tolkien and Lewis, found their way into works like The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia, and infused their literary masterpieces with moral weight, spiritual depth, and timeless themes of resistance, friendship, and redemption. We also talk about the legendary friendship between Tolkien and Lewis, the creation of the Inklings, and how the men demonstrated the countercultural power of imaginative storytelling.Resources Related to the PodcastRelated AoM podcasts:#178: The Inklings Mastermind Group#272: Lewis, Tolkien, and the Myth of Progress (Loconte's first appearance on the AoM podcast)#430: Why You Need to Join the Great Conversation About the Great Books#499: A Fascinating Primer on Norse Mythology #594: How Churchill (and London) Survived the Blitz of 1940#723: Men Without Chests#765: C.S.
