By listener request, I'm reposting this archived episode. It's a fun one to revisit, now that Reaching Sol is in fact on shelves (see wesyoungwriter.com). Also, the essay that fueled this recorded lecture is currently (April, 2022) under consideration with Mythlore. Anyway, here goes: Who (or what) steers the ship of our culture? And how, exactly? This stand-alone bonus episode of East and Wes includes a recording of my recent lecture at Reinhardt University on allegory, literature, and C. S. Lewis. We need to wake up to the forces making us who we are.
