This week’s episode isn’t just a Long Island first, it’s a global first. We cover the historic visit of Physty the Whale, a young sperm whale that washed up on the shores of Long Island’s Oak Beach in the spring of 1981, and developed a cult following. This historic visit was the first time a whale ever washed up on shore and lived to tell the tale, all while uniting a community and breaking the hearts of a few researchers and a Vietnam veteran. Sit back and see how this determined young sperm whale capitalized on Long Island’s need to “Save the Whales” and became a living legend. Hear the tale, of Phsyty the Whale.
