Originally released in 2013. Welcome to the Narnia Cast Archive. Originally released between 2013 and 2014, Narnia Cast is a special mini-series exploring each of C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia books through thoughtful discussion, literary analysis, and conversations with guests. In this seventh and final episode, William O’Flaherty, Paul Martin, and Dr. Crystal Hurd are joined by special guest Kevin Belmonte to discuss The Last Battle. Together, they explore the dramatic conclusion of the Chronicles, reflecting on courage and faithfulness in dark times, the hope of Aslan’s Country, the meaning of the “real Narnia,” and why Lewis’s final Chronicle continues to inspire both admiration and debate. The discussion examines Susan’s absence from Aslan’s Country, Emeth’s search for truth, the dwarfs’ refusal of grace, the influence of Plato’s allegory of the cave, and the enduring significance of the invitation to go “further up and further in.” Along the way, the panel considers the reunion of beloved characters, the destruction of the old Narnia as the beginning of something greater, and Lewis’s closing vision of the Great Story that never ends. Podcast hosted by William O’Flaherty, Paul Martin, and Dr. Crystal Hurd. Produced in collaboration by Essential C.S. Lewis, NarniaFans.com, and That Lewis Lady.
