    11/09/2023 Duration: 34min

    IN THIS REPEAT: The first of a two-part round table discussion of The Hobbit - The book vs. The movies In book form The Hobbit has been available for nearly 80 years, but the third and final movie installment was just released late last year.

William O’Flaherty is joined by Dr. Charlie Starr, Dr. Crystal Hurd and Brenton Dickieson to discuss whether or not one can still enjoy the movies despite their imperfections. This FIRST of two part discussion starts off with considering whether or not the three movies as a whole are better than the individual parts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Purchase The Hobbit (book) Visit Dr, Charlie Starr's Website Visit Dr, Crystal Hurd's Website Visit A Pilgrim in Narnia (Brenton's Website) Listen to All About Jack on iTunes Purchase C.S.

  • (Re-Post) Writing Tips from Lewis and Tolkien (King and Poe)

    04/09/2023 Duration: 50min

    IN THIS REPEAT:  A chat with Drs. Don King and Hal Poe on writing.   What can a person learn about how to improve one's writing from C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien? That was the subject Dr. Don King and Dr. Hal Poe addressed in a session I moderated to kick off a Creative Writing Festival held for high school students at Montreat College on March 31, 2017. This was held just prior to the start of and apart from the Inklings Fellowship Weekend Retreat. At the last minute it ended up being recorded and the results were better than expected, so I thought I'd share the enjoyable time I had with Don and Hal chatting about Lewis and Tolkien in relation to writing. Note that below is are links to an online list of Lewis' works as well as a handout that Dr. King makes reference to that you might find useful. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See List of Lewis' Writings (online) Handout from Dr. Don King (download Word file) Visit Inklings Fellowship Website Listen to Previous Interviews with Dr. Don King List
