Moby-Dick is a wrap; Sub-Etha Radio continues

Remember in May of last year (that's a rhetorical question, obviously none of us remember anything that happened in May of last year) when I started a Discord server just for read-aloud events to help stave off the terror of pandemic loneliness? Well, we've read, among other things, Much Ado; the full original Hitchhiker's radio scripts; The Importance of Being Earnest; The Rivals; The Alchemist; short stories by Poe, Shirley Jackson, Conan Doyle, and Louis Sachar; the War of the Worlds radio play for a Halloween special; and last night we finished the read-through of Moby Dick that I started in June of last year when I felt like it would be a good idea for me, like spiritually, to get a long-term project going (I was right!).

Our weekly schedule at present is a duo of summer spooktaculars: Murder and mayhem on Tuesdays as the listeners become the detectives on The Magnificent Mystery Show, hosted by @TeddyCatBell; and small-town New England gothic on Thursdays with Shirley Jackson's final novel We Have Always Lived in the Castle, narrated by @Artibartfast (Artie). Both air at 4:30 PM Pacific / 7:30 PM Eastern US time in the voice channel.
