82. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis

In this quick and barely edited episode, our hosts discuss one of their favorite childhood stories, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. They both have a deep love for the stories of Narnia and discuss the magic of the world quite often. Listen as they talk about some of their more recent revelations and theories, and as Chelsea blesses us with her explanation of why Edmund has one of her favorite redemption arcs ever. This episode is full of spoilers, but the book has been out for 80 years so hopefully, they don't ruin too much for you.  We hope you have a wonderful and merry Christmas! And for our friends who are perhaps experiencing a holiday season that doesn't look quite like they would like, we send our love and share these hopeful words from this week's book: "I hope no one who reads this book has been quite as miserable as Susan and Lucy were that night; but if you have been - if you’ve been up all night and cried till you have no more tears left in you- you will know that there comes, in the end, a sort of quietness. You feel as if nothing was ever going to happen again… But at last, Lucy noticed… that the sky on the east side of the hill was a little less dark than it had been an hour ago."  - C.S.
