A little late post, but for Episode 8 of “The Underground,” a music-focused podcast, Sun Journal reporters Rudy Ochs, Diego Lacayo and Will Fortner teamed up with Carson Tabish and Chase Campbell to dive into the song and story of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald cargo ship.
The reporters exercise sarcasm and hyperbole as they discuss Gordon Lightfoot’s six-and-a-half minute ballad about the wreck of the Fitzgerald in 1975, but ultimately work to understand what happened that fateful night and give praise to Lightfoot’s lyrical exposure of the tragedy. Check out the full episode below:
