Welcome to Unsinkable, an intense look at the cultural history of Titanic and its era. The history of the ship is laden with: women, people of color, families that have spoken up and lived out loud to leave a legacy we cannot ignore. The past is present and the future. We cannot make the mistakes of our ancestors.

  • Best Titanic Podcast Out There

    I absolutely love this podcast. Every episode is incredibly well researched, yet presented in very engaging and entertaining way. Dr. Beadles brings a fresh and progressive lens to everything from well-known Titanic topics to some of the more forgotten and overlooked ones. I couldn’t recommend this podcast enough; it’s absolutely essential for every Titanic head.

  • Not for me

    I was only able to make it through 1.5 episodes before I gave up. She is obviously very smart and knowledgeable about Titanic, but the presentation is just non stop rambling, jumping between topics and talking about how afraid she is to talk about certain sensitive topics. If she focused on the facts and organized the topics into a flowing discussion, then I may have been able to continue.
