Episode 9.25 | Culture Friday · The school she chose
Fri » An elite journalist sent her daughter to a failing school for the “collective good.” John Stonestreet says the common good is not above those in it.
Also: Stonestreet weighs the decision to cast Meryl Streep as the voice of Aslan—a clear Christ figure in C.S. Lewis’s Narnia stories—and whether the choice distorts the world Lewis created. He also considers whether kids’ smartwatches are really an escape from smartphones—or just another screen pulling them away from the real world. Plus: Collin Garbarino finds spiritual endurance and sacrificial love in Heart of the Beast, and listeners get the last word on September’s programs.
