Episode 104: White Whale Redemption - a podcast by Xan Peters and Joe Cimino

On today's tour, our tour guides, Xan and Joe, take us through an exhibit focused on the history of whaling, and humanity's connection to whales that is curated through the lens of Herman Melville's Magnum Opus, Moby Dick. They quickly summarize the plot of the novel and discuss the impact the novel has had on our world, along with thoughts concerning the industrialization of the whaling industry, materiality, and humanity's war against nature.
