333. How Do Scoffers Subvert C. S. Lewis and Slander His Fans? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Narnia fans had a rough week. After the confirmation that Netflix’s version of “Narnia” will have a female-voiced “Aslan” for a 1950s-set movie with a “rock and roll” vibe, the internet lit up. Fans were upset. Pundits piled on. Non-Christian critics on YouTube cussed at Greta Gerwig. And in response, apparent defenders of the corporate creator began repeating old myths about The Chronicles of Narnia and C. S.

332. Why Do We Fight Like Narnians for the Stories We Love? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At first we tried to be optimistic about Netflix’s new Narnia-inspired movie. Even when that rumor first dropped in April 2025 that claimed Meryl Streep was “in talks” to voice Aslan .

Read excerpt
Last week we remembered the Sept. 11 attacks . But some people, shall we say, did not know how to grieve well. That’s for many reasons. One of them is strange yet simple—they can’t fathom that real people could really do something like this. But it’s true that many groups of real bad guys really want to take over the world. So today, author Kerry Nietz, student of futuristic caliphates, returns to the studio to ask which false religions seem the most bent on global domination. Episode sponsors E
329. How Did the Sept. 11 Terror Attacks Change the Course of Fantastical Fiction? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the last 25 years, whole human beings have been born, grown up, graduated, married, and become parents. They may not remember that day when our world was gripped by events that seemed stolen from dystopian novels. On Sept. 11, 2001, militant religious terrorists hijacked four planes in the United States and plunged them into the sides of large buildings. Thousands died. Millions mourned. And every real person and fantastical fiction was forever changed. Episode sponsors Enclave Publishing: Wi
