June 17, 2026 A Terrible Attempt at a Bit O' Brogue & An Island's Survival at Sea
Our journey continues with Moby Dick! Chapters 17-24
I thought it would be fun to attempt the Nantucket accent/dialect. Apparently, I sounded like Kevin Costner in Robin Hood... Epic fail... Learn a little about the Ocracoke Brogue which is the closest existing dialect in the United States today to what Nantucketers sounded like.
Let's explore Nantucket's tenacity and drive to survive at sea from being a failed farming community to the whaling capitol of the world to being abandoned and reviving as a vacation destination. Nantucket has contributed more to history than whaling. Learn about how Nantucket influenced women's rights, the abolitionist movement, astronomy, and more!

April 07, 2026 The Book Everyone Says You Should Read, But Few Have - Herman Melville's Moby Dick
Hello there!
Don't forget to hit Like, Follow, or comment!
Welcome to Let's Get Foxy! In this episode, you are going to meet myself, your host, Lacey! You will learn that we are going to have games and different prizes available because we are going to turn my misfortune into something fun that we all can enjoy! You will also learn that I love questions! So please feel free to drop them!
This episode contains an overview for future episodes because there is so much to unpack with this particular piece of literature. If I missed anything that you think should be brought up, let me know!
This episode contains readings of Chapters 1-3. Why no Etymology and Extracts? Take a listen to find out! (Also, drop a request because for you dear listener, I am willing to read them.)
We end our chat with a light analysis of chapters 1-3 and discuss some words that are commonly used throughout this book.
Please let me know if there are any other terms you would be interested in exploring as there are quite a few within this book that are archaic or the pronunciations have changed. I actually tried to keep most of my pronunciations true to the time to enhance the experience for you, but there are a few modern pronunciations that I have kept.
Stay tuned for more!
