Episode 1: Loomings

Welcome to PequodPod! The podcast on the wonder-world of Herman Melville.In this pilot episode, our hosts Tristan Bavol-Marques, Meg Fancher, and Jonny Wiles sound the depths of Chapter 1 of Moby-Dick, Loomings. We recognize that this is by no means the start of the book, and our next episode, Episode 0, is on the Etymology and Extracts.If you enjoy the show, please consider helping defray the costs of making the show by joining us on Patreon.Also, please follow us on your preferred social media platform:InstagramYouTubeTikTokBlueskyTwitterFacebookNota Bene: The discerning listener may detect that Tristan's audio sounds a bit out of joint with Meg's and Jonny's. This was due to a pilot episode–recording SNAFU that required some parts be re-recorded. Tristan, our foremost audiophile, has been plagued by the gods of pod for his arrogance and persnicketiness and has had to endure editing four episodes in which his audio is the only lousy audio in penance. Starting with our Episode 3, his audio will start sounding good.
