This week, we're discussing In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex, by Nathaniel Philbrick, the real life story of the shipwreck that inspired Moby Dick, a book we PROMISE that at SOME POINT we will read. Amelia gushes with frankly alarming intensity about how metal whaling culture and Nantucket Quakers were. Sarah offers some Monday morning quarterbacking about nautical survival techniques. We both feel extremely sad about people, whales, and Galapagos turtles while our cat in the background tries to destroy our recording area. Sorry about some of the audio and flow on this one. Everything I cut out in editing was our wild, frenzied cat attempting to eat the microphone.
