The Cruise of the Poll Parrot is a rare children serial from the 1937-38 season.  The story line is set in the spring of 1858 in New Bedford, New England - the center of the whaling industry and revolves around the crew of the Poll Parrot, a whaling ship and the many adventures they encounter.

The main characters are: Captain Roy Dalton, the Master of the ship Poll Parrot, George Wainwright (friend and First Mate), Johnny Robbins (the little boy), Sue Grange (the little girl), Sue's brother Ezra Grange (owner of the Poll Parrot), Old Dickson (one-legged sailor), Breckenridge (ship keeper for Grange & Son's), El Testi (an agent for another shipping company) and Red Malhooley (a mutinous crew member).

Marvin Miller was the voice of Captain Roy Dalton and Poll Parrot.
The announcer was Dave Ward.

The program was syndicated by Poll Parrot Shows and sponsored by the International Shoe Company, makers of Poll Parrot Shoes for Boys and Girls.

NOTE: Due to a server crash recently at SaveFile.com, these files are currently unavailable.
I have been very busy with my new Disc Jockey company and with production of new episodes of
The Glowing Dial of late and have not had time to upload these files once again.
SaveFile.com does not have batch uploading so all the files have to be uploaded one-at-a-time.
This is very time consuming so please be patient and I will try to get the files back up as I have spare
time to do so.  I apologize for any inconvenience.

All episodes of Cruise of the Poll Parrot can be downloaded here.

NOTE: The new file storage system we are using deletes files (episodes) automatically if they sit on the server for 30 days without a download.  This is beyond our control and we have no realistic way of keeping up with checking on this.  So, we ask you, our loyal listeners to inform us if you find a file (episode) missing.  Upon receiving such a notice, we will upload the episode to the server in as timely a fashion as we are able.

ALSO: Please do your best to not be a "bandwidth hog".  We ask that you limit your downloads to a "reasonable" amount per day.  Please do not use "download managers" either.  Although we have unlimited storage space and unlimited bandwidth at our current storage location, we do not wish to "abuse" this privilege and "crash" or "severely limit" their server.  Remember, there are many others who want to download these files as badly as you do so please give them a fair chance too.
