Prince Caspian (Part 3: Lords and Lycanthropes? Romps and Rivers? Badgers and Bridges?)

As he discusses the third part of Prince Caspian, the second book in the Chronicles of Narnia, Chris is joined once more by three special guests:

• Logan Huggins, our producer (who did yet another amazing job with this episode)
• Mez Blume, author of Churchill's S.O.C.K.s and several other excellent books
• Sophie Burkhardt, from the podcast Beneath the Willow Tree

Among other things discussed:

• Caspian's advisors versus Miraz's advisors
• Honour (with a "u")
• Nikabrik, "talking plainly," and ends-justifies-means logic
• Fan Fiction Assignment: Caspian the Werewolf King
• Are badgers patient?
• How to challenge someone to a duel with style, Mr. Smith (hint: spell "abhominable" with an "h")
• "Would a coward have this?"
• The weak shaming the strong and Caspian's army versus Miraz's army
• Does Aslan hate infrastructure?
• Rivers, gods, and The Dry Salvages
• Miss Prizzle and the Magic School Bacchus
• Re-enchanting a modern setting within Narnia
• Childlike faith, waiting for the romp, and walking through the door
