About the Podcast:
A gam is known as a social meeting or informal conversation, notably used among whalers at sea. The Nantucket Gam surrounds each episode around a particular theme, with the episode consisting of about 20-25 minutes of storytelling and conversation around the topic, bringing in present-day storytelling at the conclusion of each episode by having a guest community member who can speak to the theme.
The Nantucket Gam allows the NHA to tell new stories of Nantucket history and dive into lesser-heard narratives, while elevating diverse voices of the island’s history and capturing contemporary voices of Nantucket today.
Episodes:
The Nantucket Gam will launch a new episode at the beginning of each month in 2025. Stay tuned for more episode announcements!
