The first season of The Rings of Power recently began. The following is a conversation with Dr. Sørina Higgins about her initial reactions to the first two episodes. William O’Flaherty recorded this with her the day before she was giving a talk about the Holy Grail. Sørina actually attended one of the premiers of The Rings of Power held in New York about a week before it was released on Amazon Prime Video. In addition to giving her pros and cons of the series as a TV show compared to a Tolkien adaptation, she shares about meeting some of the actors and writers of the show.

(Re-Post) The Leadership of C.S. Lewis (Dr. Crystal Hurd)
Tuesday Sep 06, 2022
Tuesday Sep 06, 2022
Here's a repeat of a recent interview done with Dr. Crystal Hurd about her book The Leadership of C.S. Lewis.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What is a leader? Was C.S. Lewis a leader? Dr. Crystal Hurd has thought about this for over a decade and concluded he definitely was because (among other things) of the influence or impact he has had on so many people. After completing her doctoral thesis in 2012 where she examined the topic, she expanded her research and the result is a book new for 2022, The Leadership of C.S. Lewis. In this podcast interview, she provides an overview of (as her subtitle reveals) the ten traits of a leader that encourages change and growth. They include humility, courage, resilience, and creativity.
