As we continue to browse through Jack's bookshelf, David interviews Dr. Sarah Waters about William Shakespeare.

Today we kick off "Jack's Bookshelf", a series of episodes where we consider the authors and works which shaped the life of C.S. Lewis. Today we speak to returning guest, Dr. Jason Baxter, and begin with Dante Alighieri, author of The Divine Comedy.

A couple of brief announcements from David.

David quizzes Matt and Andrew on toasts, they argue about the state of Malacandra, and cast actors for their movie.

David recently tracked down the audio for an operatic adaptation of Perelandra, the sequel to Out of the Silent Planet, and invited Professor Judith Wolfe and Professor John Marr onto the show to talk about it.

David and Marie had the opportunity to go to Chicago to watch "BareFace", a ballet-adaptation of "Till We Have Faces", produced by Ballet 5:8. Afterwards they sat down to share their thoughts...

Andrew is joined by Dr. Junius Johnson to discuss "The Dark Tower", Lewis' abandoned sequel to "Out of the Silent Planet".

We wrap up "Out of the Silent Planet" with a twist...
