The Lamp-post Listener: Chronicling the Worlds of Narnia, Middle-earth and Others
The Lamp-post Listener is a podcast where two friends travel further up and further into classic works of children's literature - from the woods of CS Lewis's Narnia to the mountains of JRR Tolkien's Middle-earth. Each episode chronicles the narratives, themes, and truth found in these timeless tales with C.S. Lewis as a Virgil-like guide. Phil and Daniel are currently reading "The Hobbit."

He doesn't like being tied down—and of course he has other countries to attend to. It's quite all right. He'll often drop in. Only you mustn't press him. He's wild, you know. Not like a tame lion.'"

Aslan, Susan, and Lucy arrive at the Witch's Castle. "Everywhere the statues were coming to life. The courtyard looked no longer like a museum; it looked more like a zoo.

Spring comes to Narnia and Edmund begins regretting his betrayal.

When that happened there was a moment's silence. And in that silence Edmund co...

"But behind him, on a much higher seat in the middle of the sledge sat a very different person—a great lady, taller than any woman that Edmund had ever seen. She also was covered in white fur up to her throat and held a long straight golden wand in her right hand and wore a golden crown on her head. Her face was white—not merely pale, but white...
