Guest Evan Bradtke joins me for a fairly lengthy discussion of CS Lewis’s Space Trilogy (more aptly called the Cosmic Trilogy), all three volumes of which were nominated for the Retro Hugo. It’s a normal-ish episode, with the exception being that we discuss all three books in some detail.
The books are, to me, less accessibly than The Chronicles of Narnia, particularly to a non-Christian audience, and we discuss that a bit and come to different conclusions, actually.
Note: An uncorrected transcript is included and will be replaced at a later time.
