Road Ramble Radio "Call Me Ishmael"

Dive into a whale of a tale on this episode of Road Ramble Radio!

Chuck kicks things off with some fascinating whale stories that'll hook you right away. He dives deep into the real-life horror that inspired Herman Melville's classic Moby-Dick—the infamous 1820 sinking of the whaleship Essex by a vengeful sperm whale. But there's a darker chapter to this saga that Melville mostly left out... and Chuck isn't shying away from it. Prepare for chills on the high seas!

Then we surface back on dry land: Lent has officially begun (Ash Wednesday just hit!), and with the call to abstain from meat on Fridays (and certain other days), the age-old question returns—what do you do when you're craving protein but the rules say no burgers or bacon? Chuck weighs in with his take on navigating those meatless meals without losing your mind.

All that, plus the usual off-the-cuff ramblin' and hot takes you love. Hit play and join Chuck for the ride—it's going to be epic!
