The London Gin Craze | C.S. Lewis

Hightailing Through History

Welcome into the wardrobe for episode 82! At the back you'll find the Smoke Circle where we have snacks, history and...gin. Laurel first takes you to 18th century London when the greater access to spirits made gin a hot commodity and everyone a hot mess...or worse.

After the break, KT shares the life and creative mind of Clive Staples Lewis, better known as C.S. Lewis. Lewis authored over 30 books, including the popular Chronicles of Narnia series.
