Knight Reader

Host Dylan C takes the listener on an educational ride down the winding tunnel of whales throughout history

The knight announces his first step into the professional world of literature with a very special book that is heavily inspired by the works of Herman Melville.

The incredible and climactic stand-alone story of the Town-Ho is brought to life by the knight. Host Dylan C (Steelkilt) is joined by friend Jack Luna (Mr. Radney) and younger brother (Captain) for an episode of revenge, horror, and a run-in with the famous and most dangerous white whale, Moby Dick. Which character will lose their life to the jaws of the whale?

Take an in depth listen to these chapters, brought to life with voices and music! The crew views a mysterious spout nightly, and they come across another Nantucket whaling ship. They are met with odd events. Starbuck finds Ahab asleep in a terrible upright pose, and Ishmael is at a loss, and a haunting story plagues the crew regarding the white whale.

We meet a striking character, and the entire crew including our friends Queequeg and Ishmael lower away in the chase of a pod of sperm whales. We hear an exciting whale chase scene, as the small boat is broken, leaving Ishmael and crew floating in the open sea. Will they make it back to the Pequod?

Knight Reader shares wonderful music and an inspirational piece about mental health. We hear from Steph and John of the GetLit Podcast, and hear from readers around the world about books that inspired them towards physical action, or impacted their life in a positive manner.
