Moby Dick Part 1

05 Apr 2025

Description

In this episode, we dive into the depths of Herman Melville's classic, "Moby Dick," as adapted for radio by Ernest Knoi. The Columbia Workshop brings this epic tale to life with a special musical score by Norman Lockwood, conducted by Frederick Steiner, and directed by Howard G. Barnes. We follow Ishmael, who, seeking adventure, joins the whaling ship Pequod. The ship, led by the enigmatic Captain Ahab, embarks on a perilous journey across the Atlantic and into the Pacific, driven by Ahab's obsessive quest for vengeance against the legendary white whale, Moby Dick.As the Pequod sails, we meet a diverse crew, including the steadfast Starbuck, the indifferent Stubb, and the savage harpooners from distant lands. The tension builds as Ahab reveals his monomaniacal pursuit of Moby Dick, a creature that once claimed his leg. The episode captures the relentless drive and madness of Ahab, as well as the camaraderie and challenges faced by the crew. Join us next week for the conclusion of this gripping adaptation, as the Pequod continues its fateful chase. Listen to our radio station Old Time Radio https://link.radioking.com/otradioListen to other Shows at My Classic Radio https://www.myclassicradio.net/Entertainment Radio | Broadcasting Classic Radio Shows | PatreonRemember that times have changed, and some shows might not reflect the standards of today’s politically correct society.
