The latest episode of a seven-part podcast series on “The Charm of the Chesterbelloc” is about to be posted in the Inner Sanctum of my personal website, jpearce.co. The series looks at the friendship of Belloc and Chesterton and also compares and contrasts their gifts. I consider which of them is the finer novelist, poet, essayist, biographer, and defender of the Faith. Who is greater? Belloc? Or Chesterton?
I invite those who would like to support me and my work to consider becoming donor-subscribers by joining the Inner Sanctum. Apart from this podcast series, there is also an exclusive 45-part college-level course that I give on Tolkien and Lewis, new podcasts each week on all sorts of topics, and well over 100 exclusive articles, in addition to my weekly “Ladydale Diary” in which I muse on this and that and tell of what’s happening in the Pearce family and what I’m working on and doing. 
Please keep up with what I’m doing and support my work by becoming a donor-subscriber to the Inner Sanctum. Thanks! 

On the evening of Friday, March 13th I’m giving the keynote lecture at an online literature conference. “Re-Enchanting the World: The Legacy of the Inklings” promises to be an exciting and indeed an enchanting conference which people can attend from the comfort of their own homes. My own lecture will be entitled “Narnia & Middle-earth: When Two Worlds Collude”. Please do join me.
