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 fifth episode, William O’Flaherty, Paul Martin, and Dr. Crystal Hurd are joined by special guest Dr. Charlie W. Starr to discuss The Horse and His Boy. Together, they explore the story behind this unique Chronicle, Lewis’s writing process, the novel’s unusual setting beyond the borders of Narnia, and the themes of providence, pride, humility, and redemption that shape the journey of Shasta, Aravis, Bree, and Hwin. The discussion examines Lewis’s fascination with “northerness,” the influence of The Arabian Nights, Aslan’s unseen guidance throughout the story, and one of the Chronicles’ most memorable lines: “I tell no one any story but his own.” Along the way, the panel reflects on why The Horse and His Boy feels both distinct from and deeply connected to the rest of the series, revealing a powerful meditation on divine providence, personal calling, and the grace that quietly guides every step of the journey. 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.
