- Delightful! Give a listen.
I really enjoy this podcast. The hosts have an easy camaraderie, are fun to listen to and have an obvious affection for Narnia. They discuss the chapter of each book for just the right amount of time and leave you wanting more rather than endlessly digressing.

United States8 months ago Fantastic episode!
I work with children, and I desire for them to have the love of reading. This episode gives me ideas on how I can encourage students to engage in stories and to help them read books that they may not pick up for themselves otherwise.
Thank you, guys! I love all of your episodes.
Podcast Addict5a year agoLadyRohan- Enneagram folly
I was so enjoying this podcast until the fascination with the enneagram came up. For self proclaiming Christians to promote a “New Age” practice destroys all credibility and ultimately can lead astray those looking for truth in a web of deceit. Please listen to the Cultish Podcasts episode on the enneagram to understand it’s dark past which is leading far to many Christians away from God's calling in our lives. I was hoping to finish all seven books, but I can’t support you anymore.
Apple Podcasts1Pappy@10United States2 years ago - Everyone should listen to this!
I stumbled upon this podcast when I was trying to find something that would help me understand the parallels of the Narnia books with the gospel. This podcast far exceeded my expectations! I recommend it to all of my friends!
Apple Podcasts5leah_agssUnited States2 years ago - Best podcast!
Not to brag on y’all, but this is the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. Love your jokes, insights, commentary, and ideas that spill through each chapter in every episode. Thank you for all your hard work! So excited for new episodes, no matter the content or topic!
