The General Mills Radio Adventure Theater

Moby Dick

English · Dramatic Readings, Nautical & Marine Fiction, Action & Adventure

The General Mills Radio Adventure Theater presents radio adaptations of adventure stories for a family audience. This recording is identified with Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, the tale of Captain Ahab’s obsessive pursuit of the great white whale.

The program brings literary adventure to life through dramatic performance and sound, offering listeners a radio-play approach to a classic story of the sea. Its format centers on spoken scenes and audio atmosphere rather than a single narrator reading the text.

With its blend of high-seas danger, suspense, and larger-than-life ambition, Moby-Dick suits the series’ adventurous spirit. The result is an accessible way to experience a familiar literary voyage through the immediacy of radio drama.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
