In 2017, David Bates and Matt Bush sat down with two cheap microphones balanced on an ironing board and began chatting about C.S. Lewis. The podcast was originally named The Eagle and Child after a pub favoured by the Inklings. It would be changed to Pints With Jack the following season…
The first book they decided to discuss was Mere Christianity, along with the first of The Chronicles of Narnia, namely The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
