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.

    On Titanic, Nostalgia and Chasing Eternal Whimsy, w/ Molly McCormack (from Mammoth Club)!

    Watch me try not to fan girl TOO HARD as I get to chat all things growing up as a Titanic-head with Molly McCormack, part of the amazingly successful and wonderful Mammoth Club. We also talk Disney, the magic of movies, the nostalgia and nerdiness that all becomes the connective tissue of our monoculture obsessions and the joy of chasing whimsy. Thanks to Molly for taking time out of her INSANE Mammoth Club filming schedule to join us! And thank you times a trillion for our Hudson William moment!!!

    Titanic, the Immigrant's Ship (with James Penca of Witness Titanic Podcast)

    Today I'm joined by James Penca from the Witness Titanic podcast for a fascinating and heartfelt look at the stories of a few of Titanic's third class passengers, ones too often left out of more sensational narratives. Together, we shine a light on journeys across the Atlantic that reveal so much more than tragedy. Through their own words and research into both their socioeconomic and cultural lives, we uncover a wealth of insight into the American immigration experience. From the hopes and hardships that drove people to leave everything behind, to the systems and realities that shaped their arrival in a new world, these passengers embody the complexities of the immigrant experience and utlimately how many immigrants passionately built their own new realities.  And just as importantly, we address the brutal reality of the current political climate--one that seeks to erase the beauty and promise of America as a nation of immigrants.  For Titanic Weekend: https://sites.google.com/view/titanicweekend2026/home Follow James Penca & Witness Titanic: Apple Podcasts: Listen here Spotify: Listen here YouTube: @WitnessTitanic Instagram: @WitnessTitanicPod Patreon: patreon.com/c/witnesstitanic Support the show Support Unsinkable on Patreon for as little as $1/month: https://www.patreon.com/unsinkablepod Or buy me a coffee!: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/labeadles Buy Unsinkable shirts here!: https://www.bonfire.com/unsinkable-the-first-t-shirt/ Support the pod via my Bookshop Storefront: https://bookshop.org/shop/unsinkablepod Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unsinkablepod/
