You might hear my kids talking or stomping in the background; I think it just adds to the “authenticity.” Just as a heads-up, Lewis will express several ideas in these chapters that might make a (post)modern audience pause. First, he addresses homosexuality in a way that was considered quite progressive in his day (especially when taken in context of his other writings) but would not be considered progressive by many today. Second, the notion of wanting a “Christian society” might seem quite the opposite of what many talk of today. In both cases, those are just the raw materials Lewis is working with back in his day with his particular BBC radio audience. His underlying points still stand even if you disagree with his assumptions.
