The Silver Chair, Part 2: Owlectric Boogaloo-whoo

If you're enjoying The Inklings Variety Hour, please leave us a five-star review on .  We'd also love to hear from you--email us at inklingsvarietyhour@gmail.com.  

Chris' wife, Glencora, joins him to talk about chapters 3 and 4 of The Silver Chair. Among other things, we discuss:

• The Signs and Sudden Quizzes
• Muppet Silver Chair (not really a thing, but it should be)
• The Many Types of Narnians
• Knowledge, Experience, Recognition
• Meditation in a Toolshed
• The Nature of Wisdom?
• Chaucer's Parliament of Fowls and other ancient/medieval works referenced in Chapter 4...also Keats.
• Fetching green caps that say "Oui"

Hopefully you'll enjoy this episode, which is slightly more lighthearted and relaxed than usual.  Also, happy birthday to Glencora!

If not, I'll be back with Eric and Jonathan next week to talk about Puddleglum!
