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.

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 the actual beginnings of Moby-Dick: the Etymology and Extracts sections. These are extremely interesting and not to be skipped or glossed over.

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. Because Episode 0 and Episode 2 were recorded back to back, this lower-quality audio will recur in Episode 2.

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.

Nota 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.
