    #19 - Titanic Historian Reveals What Happened to the Titanic's Dead | Victoria Brown

    The crew sent to recover Titanic's dead faced a task so overwhelming that one man summed it up: "The first ten are bodies. After that, it's just work." Historian and writer Victoria Brown reveals what happened after the sinking, including how hundreds of victims were recovered, identified, buried, and sometimes committed back to the sea. Drawing on research from her book The Death Ship: Recovering the Bodies of Titanic's Dead, Brown explains why class and even tattoos could influence who was brought home, the story of the unknown child identified through his tiny shoes, why many victims likely did not drown, and whether the wreck should now be treated as a grave site.

    #15 - "Kurt Cobain Did NOT Take His Own Life" (New Evidence) | Richard Syrett

    Richard Syrett joins Tim Blane to examine why some of rock's most famous deaths still leave hard questions behind. The main focus is Kurt Cobain, including the disputed drug-level timeline, the shotgun mechanics, the clean weapon, the final note, and the renewed push from independent researchers who want the case reopened. Syrett also digs into Brian Jones and Jimi Hendrix, connecting both stories to rushed official conclusions, powerful people around the artists, and details that never fit neatly into the public version. His book, Tales from the Rock and Roll Twilight Zone, looks at these cases as mysteries worth revisiting, not rumors to accept blindly.
