All About Jack Podcast

Interviews and other features with Lewis experts and authors

Doing a podcast show began spontaneously in 2011 when I was on my way to hear Will Vaus speak at a Fredrick, MD C.S. Lewis Society meeting. I thought to myself, “what if I could get him to agree to an interview?” So I quickly came up with some questions and asked him if he would agree to a short interview. He did! Then I made arrangements to do interviews with some of the speakers at the annual C.S. Lewis Retreat in Texas by the C.S. Lewis Foundation in that same year. Later I contacted other Lewis authors by email and many of them accepted the invitation to be interviewed. Having made so many contacts I thought of doing a shorter series of interviews built around a single essay by Lewis. He has over 100, so this could take a while to do! In 2012 I contact Dr. Michael Ward and Dr. Devin Brown about do a short podcast series on one of their books. These endeavors are found below.
