Highlights for the period of July 11-21 include: the first book resulting from speaking on the BBC, an unusual meditation, and the death of Joy.
When Lewis agreed to do talks over the radio he had no idea how well received they would be. After two successful series of talks that were each in five parts and another series scheduled to start in late September, the book Broadcast Talks was released on the 13th in 1942. Unlike the later books released after each of his last two series, this book contained no additional material. They were merely five chapters each to match what was on the air. The only difference had to do with the order of the chapters from the first series.
While there are not many professors who have a website devoted to C.S. Lewis, fewer still can say they have had one around for almost twenty years. Dr. Bruce Edwards began what is now known as The C.S. Lewis Review in 1995. Today you can browse a variety of material that dates back to 2005. Now retired and living in Alaska, Dr. Edwards previously taught for 32 years at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. He is the editor of the four volume C. S. Lewis: Life, Works, and Legacy and has written four titles himself related to C.S. Lewis.
Since 1997 Taylor University has held The Frances White Ewbank Colloquium on C.S. Lewis & Friends nearly every two years (they skipped 2003). In addition to having great guest speakers over the years, this meeting also provides the opportunity for individuals to present a twenty minute address. Then, not long after the event, the corresponding papers based on those shorter talks are printed in a volume called INKLINGS FOREVER. Plus, nearly all of those essays are available online for free!
The following is a conversation I had with Dr. Pamela Jordan-Long from Taylor University about the 2014 C.S. Lewis Colloquium being held on campus May 29-June 1.

Over the last year I’ve had the privilege of interviewing many individuals. I checked the data of what shows were downloaded the most and the following podcast shares some of them. The program is just over 30 minutes, so I only share some brief moments from them. Check the links below to listen to those entire shows (and learn what I highlight). I also provide a second list of links to shows I didn’t include in the recap (because they were in the last two months) that were among the top downloads for the year.
