30 & 31: The Pipe / Queen Mab (w/ Will Huebner)

Will Huebner (@WillHuebner) of FREE THE SHOW and The Spooky Seven joins us as we meet Ahab for the first time! Also, we ponder Ahab's sexual history and create our own fan-canon that Moby-Dick is a girl whale.

26 & 27: Knights And Squires / Knights And Squires (w/ Stephen Sciortino)

New first mate, high school classmate and old friend Stephen Sciortino joins Kevin as Ishmael provides an unprompted, rambling defense of the profession of whaling that sounds a lot like a late night infomercial. Call now and get a free harpoon while supplies last!

First mate Ben Meyerson (The President Show, The Opposition with Jordan Klepper) returns to read Chapter 18, "His Mark", and Chapter 19, "The Prophet"!

18 & 19: His Mark / The Prophet (w/ Ben Meyerson)

Comedian and friend Ben Meyerson (The President Show, The Opposition with Jordan Klepper) joins Kevin to read Chapter 17, "The Ramadan"!
