Chapters 52-54: "The Albatross," "The Gam," "The Town-Ho's Story"
<p>Talia talks with Beth Skwarecki, senior health editor at Lifehacker, about three fascinating chapters. That's right -- we're BACK! After 33 episodes last year, we're off on the second year of Moby Dick Energy, and with hellish strength we are taking another stab at this great book. This week, we examine Melville's glowing and romantic depictions of the Erie Canal and the Great Lakes; gam a lot; and go with Ishmael to Peru. <br/><br/>ALSO: A BIG AUDIENCE REQUEST --<br/>We would *LOVE* to see some sea shanties by our listeners!!! If you are so moved, and want to write a sea shanty (to the tune of "Wellerman" or any other one you like, or an original tune) inspired by chapter 54, "The Town-Ho's Story," we want to feature it on the show!!!! Email your song creations to mobydickenergy@gmail.com, or @ us on Twitter at @mobydickenergy.<br/><br/>With excellent production by Ilana Weinstein. Theme song, as always, by Noam Hassenfeld.</p>
