The Inklings Variety Hour

The Horse and His Boy, Part 3: Freedom

If you would like episodes of The Inklings Variety Hour to come out more often, please do consider leaving us a positive review.

Singer-songwriter Matt Wheeler once again joins me to discuss his favorite Narnia book, The Horse and His Boy. 

Among other things, we talk about:

• Hermits and the nature of freedom
• Allegory and biblical allusion in Narnia
• Fear as motivation
• Self-pity as incomplete story
• Matt's song, "Worn Thin"

Enjoy, and join us next week for the conclusion of The Horse and His Boy.

Feel free to get in touch with me, as always, at inklingsvarietyhour@gmail.com. 

Thanks for listening!
