Welcome to PequodPod! The podcast on the wonder-world of Herman Melville.

In this episode, our hosts Tristan Bavol-Marques, Meg Fancher, and Jonny Wiles dive deep into Chapter 2 of Moby-Dick: The Carpet-Bag. In this chapter, Ishmael pokes around New Bedford looking for a not-too-jolly place to spend the night.

Nota Bene: The discerning listener may detect that Tristan's audio sounds like he recorded it on his toaster. Somehow, Tristan did indeed select his toaster instead of his mic as the input audio for this recording. Tristan, our foremost audiophile, has deeply offended the podcasting divinities 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.
