A variety of resources about C.S. Lewis or his works exist. Some are more unique than others, like Visiting with C.S. Lewis: A Perpetual Calendar created by Dr. Joel Heck and a collection called Socratic Digest that the following interview explores. The first is a calendar good for any year and the latter contains all five volumes when Lewis was with the Oxford Socratic Club. Previously I spoke with Dr. Heck about his book Irrigating Deserts.

In April 2012 I first posted this interview with Richard Platt, author of As One Devil to Another. At the time the book had only recently been released. While this is his first novel, Richard has been a reader of C.S. Lewis for many year and a big fan of The Screwtape Letters (which is what inspired his book).
