Narnia Fans Cast #29 | The Narnia Wardrobe Auction

Originally recorded March 11, 2007. Welcome to the Narnia Fans Cast Archive. These episodes were originally recorded between 2006 and 2009 during the early years of The Chronicles of Narnia film series. They have been preserved as part of NarniaFans.com’s history and may have been lightly edited for clarity, length, or archival presentation. Step through the wardrobe and enjoy this piece of Narnia Fans history. In Episode 29 of Narnia Fans Cast, John Burkitt and Roger Thomas center the episode around a unique piece of Narnia memorabilia: a handcrafted wardrobe created by Disney for a promotional sweepstakes and later offered at auction. From there, the conversation expands into a thoughtful exploration of one of C.S. Lewis’s defining creative ideas, the diverse community of talking animals and mythical creatures that inhabit Narnia. The hosts discuss how Narnia’s society differs from our own, what Lewis may have been expressing through a world shared by multiple intelligent species, and how that shapes the atmosphere of the Chronicles. The episode also features “Discovering Names,” another gentle installment from John Burkitt’s Byron on Wells, in which Mountie reflects on family, friendship, and the quiet joy of being known, welcomed, and finding one’s place in the community.
