    Michael "Ty" Joseph (Yusuf), Titanic's "Miracle Boy"

    Join me as I begin to explore the lives of Middle Eastern immigrants on Titanic, something I should have done long ago. The story of Titanic’s “Miracle Boy” is not oft-told, perhaps because it’s so heartbreaking, but the long and triumphant life of Michael Shafiq Peter Yusuf (Joseph is the Americanized version of the last name) is beautiful in its resiliency. Traveling on Titanic with his young mother and a tiny baby sister, Michael was separated from them in the chaos but managed to make it ...

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 ...

Fascinating

Love this podcast. The modern tie ins to racism, sexism, classicism - all the isms are fantastic and her love of the subject really comes through! Can’t recommend enough.

Fascinating histories, even the side notes are intriguing

Always love me some trivia, and just learning new things. History was not my strongest subject as a high school or college student, but if LA Beadles was my professor, I think I’d be that kid in the lecture hall that would not only show up early to get a good seat in the front, I’d be taking all the notes and cram my notebook with as much as I could possibly write.

So many sub-chapters could be told about “Titanic” and her passengers, and things I’ve learned about from this (and a few other) podcasts are very engaging and informative, at some point I’ll catch up with it all.

Booring

This podcast doesnt concentrate on the actual ship and its events but instead the cultural aspect of it.
