Welcome to PequodPod! The podcast on the wonder-world of Herman Melville.

In this episode, we interview our special guest Adam Mellion from the blog All Visible Objects. We talk about his Melvillean sleuthing, from busts to Antarctica, and track down the true origin of the brand name Starbucks.

While we do discuss the company Starbucks on this episode, this is in no way meant as an advertisement or product placement, and in fact we strongly encourage our audience to respect the boycott called by Starbucks Workers United until the company signs a contract with the union.
