Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Episode 4 of Season 2 of The Nantucket Gam proclaims the tales of Nantucket’s gregarious town criers. Before the popularization of the newspaper, radio, or television, the citizens of Nantucket would rely on loud men, loud men with bells and horns, to broadcast the comings and goings of the island. They would become icons of the island community, known far and wide for their skill and devotion to yelling the news. Join the Gam team to learn all about the tradition of town criers, the evolution of their art, and the modern interpretation of the practice. Do you think you’d have what it takes to be the voice of the island? Plus, stay tuned for an interview with Nantucket’s current town crier, Eric Goddard.
