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.
The following special edition of the All About Jack podcast features an UNOFFICIAL audio commentary of the movie The Most Reluctant Convert: The Untold Story of C.S. Lewis starring Max McLean. Drs. Crystal Hurd and Charlie Starr joined William O’Flaherty to provide reflections on the movie itself and interesting facts about C.S. Lewis to help you enjoy the movie more and gain insight into Lewis himself.
When you listen to the audio commentary, it will instruct you to start your copy of the movie at the ONE-minute mark of the podcast. That way you should be able to easily keep in sync with the podcast audio commentary and wherever you are watching the movie. To help with that you will faintly hear the audio of the movie in the background of the audio commentary (it is a little louder at first to help you keep in sync, but fades lower after about ten minutes.

Not many people are aware C.S. Lewis and Dorothy L. Sayers were friends. When did these two great writers meet and what impact did they have on each other’s lives? That is the topic of my podcast interview with Gina Dalfonzo, author of Dorothy and Jack: The Transforming Friendship of Dorothy L. Sayers and C.S. Lewis. While Sayers is most known for her detective novels, she wrote in other genres, as did Lewis. Dalfonzo provides a long-overdue exploration into their friendship and how it challenges assumptions around male/female relationships.
