S4E25 – AH – “After Hours” with Fr. Vincent Lampert
Given that “The Screwtape Letters” satirically examines the world of the demonic, we thought that it would be a good idea to talk about spiritual warfare with an exorcist.

Following on from Tuesday’s episode where I discussed the different kinds of laughter described by Screwtape, I was joined by author Terry Lindvall to speak further about the subject.
Matt recently appeared as a guest on the Alto podcast run by his friend Leo Gallegos. They chatted about C.S. Lewis and about how to navigate the highs and lows of life.
Last Christmas I gifted myself a copy of C.S. Lewis and The Church, which was a collection of essays in honour of Walter Hooper. Among this collection was an essay by well-known Eastern Orthodox writer, Metropolitan Kallistos Ware. In this essay he speaks about aspects of Lewis’ theology which appeals to Eastern Orthodox readers. I invited him onto the show to talk about it.
Earlier in the year, Matt interviewed Douglas Gresham about life with his stepfather, C.S. Lewis. Today Douglas returns to talk about his life in the post-Lewis years.
As I’m reading through “The Screwtape Letters” this Season, I’m reading my copy of the Annotated Edition by Paul McCusker. Paul has also been involved with many of the C.S. Lewis projects from Focus On The Family, including a production of The Screwtape Letters starring Andy Serkis.
Today I interview a man who is well-known in the C.S. Lewis community, William O’Flaherty. William runs EssentialCSLewis.com and is the host of the “All About Jack” podcast. He is also the author of “The Misquotable CS Lewis” and the book which we will be discussing today, his guide to “The Screwtape Letters” called “C.S. Lewis Goes To Hell”.
Since we’re beginning a new season and a new book, we thought it would be wise to introduce new listeners to the life of C.S. Lewis. To this end, we invited onto the show James Como, a founding member of the New York C. S. Lewis Society, to talk about his latest book, “C.S. Lewis: A Very Short Introduction”.
Continuing “Tolkien Month”, I interviewed Joseph Loconte, author of A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War which tells the story of how the First World War shaped the lives, faith, and writings of J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis.
Continuing “Tolkien Month”, in today’s episode I spoke with John and Greta Carswell from “The Tolkien Road” podcast (https://TolkienRoad.com/), focussing on Tolkien’s work, The Silmarillion.
