Buck up, Weston. It's only death, all said and done. We should have to die someday, you know. We shan't lack water and hunger without thirst isn't too bad. As for drowning, well, a bayonet wound or cancer would be worse.

This is Pints with Jack, season eight, episode 16.

Paralandra chapter 13, deliver us from evil.

Welcome, friends, to Pints with Jack, your favorite CS-Lewis podcast run at the moment by three Thulcandrians.

Yes, I know you were wondering that after the last couple episodes.

Andrew, David, and myself, I am still here.

This season, we are once again following the adventures of Elwyn Ransom, who has been battling his nemesis, the unman.

But in today's episode, I am out of the

penalty box, back in the front line up, and we will be taking a little bit of a break from the

combat. And we are going to do some philosophy. Well, gentlemen, it feels like it has been a while

since, well, for me, that we've all recorded

together. So it is good to be back. And I love Andrew, the quote that you chose because I thought

the wisdom of death was one of the top three themes of out of the silent planet. So it's really

beautiful to see Ransom come full circle in real,

not just intellectually, but experientially, because he is actually facing death and truly in

his mind and there's a real chance of it. And that's usually when you see someone's true

beliefs. That's one thing to say, I understand death is a beautiful thing.

It's another thing to, like, embrace it in a moment.

So it's really cool to see them come kind of full circle.

I'm proud of our dear boy.

Was Matt gone?

I didn't know.
