Hello friends,
Episode 13 of the podcast is now live!
Jeremy is joined by Fr Calvin Robinson to discuss C.S. Lewis’s The Space Trilogy. They unpack how Lewis weaves deep religious truths about good and evil, temptation, and spiritual warfare into a gripping sci-fi narrative — and moral universe.
The discussion covers Lewis’s critique of scientism, modern idolatry, and the surreptitious rise of evil in everyday life — especially in That Hideous Strength — and why these underrated stories feel so strikingly relevant today.
You can watch the episode for free on Substack, or on YouTube if you prefer.
Enjoy!
