Welcome to Unsinkable: The Titanic Podcast, a comprehensive look at the ship, its crew + passengers, the art it has inspired, and the cultural history of its legacy (which is, of course, absolutely unsinkable). Hosted by historian L.A. Beadles, an absolute Titanic nerd.

(Cross-post with Salem the Podcast!) Survivor Elizabeth Lines
Listen to me gab with on one of MY fave history podcasts, Salem the Podcast! I was honored to join them for an episode and I know many of you will find their work fascinating. On their show, Salem tour guides and historians Jeffrey and Sarah take deep dives into the oft-dark, always-intriguing history of their town, its mythology and its obsessions. We have much in common in terms of how we approach research and how we unpack strange and beautiful stories. In this crossover episode, we speak about Elizabeth Lines and her daughter Mary, survivors who went on to spend much of their lives in Topsfield, not too far from Salem.

An Interview with Actor Cotter Smith: Unpacking Senator Smith + the Titanic Inquiry's Legacy
Join me for a conversation with renowned actor Cotter Smith, who portrays Senator William Alden Smith in the new film Unsinkable: Titanic Untold. We discuss how he tackled playing this rather controversial Titanic figure, a man who spearheaded the United States Senate Inquiry in the immediate aftermath of the sinking; we also dissect how Smith has been treated in the ship's historiography and maybe why he’s not gotten the fairest shot. It was an absolute pleasure to meet Cotter. If you’d like to see Cotter and some of the cast and crew of Unsinkable in person, consider joining us for a screening + Q/A in Knoxville on April 12th!

An Emergency Titanic Meeting, with Pablo O'Hana!
As Titanic hit the online news cycles in some wacky ways this past week (Titanic II? Ok…), I pushed the Emergency Meeting button and called Pablo O’Hana, my dear friend and one of our foremost experts on Titanic’s artifacts, its cultural impact and its memorialization. This is a wonderfully meandering podcast chat about what it means to be in the Titanic community, what we all owe to the memory of its victims, and how we can all use our voices here to honor the heart and soul of the ship we love. I may use the word “like” 87 times here, but please forgive this unedited and passionate bit of time.

Customer Reviews
Factual and concise!
This is a great podcast, well researched and clear. No annoying filler or inane chat which drives me insane! Keep up the good work!
Excellent Titanic-centred podcast
This is a very informative podcast which explores many different aspects of the Titanic, from media portrayals to the individuals on board, and provides good book recommendations too. The enthusiasm and knowledge of the host definitely comes through.
Breadth and depth
My search for something to listen to for the 110th Anniversary located this gem. There are probably as many aspects to the Titanic story, as there were lumps of coal in the bunkers! This podcast has made a good start at bringing a cross section from details of the people; ship and the layers of context. The author communicates enthusiastically her knowledge and gets the best out of her guests to bring a wide range of subjects. We learn across the decks from both Titanic’s own time and also how each subsequent era has reflected upon the disaster through multi media. I’m looking forward to many more seasons!
