UPDATED BIMONTHLY

Welcome to Unsinkable, a podcast that started as a intense look at the cultural history of Titanic and its era but has evolved into a look at the untold stories that our history 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.

Death to "Guilty Pleasures": Titanic, Things Girls Love, and Claiming our Space in Mass Media

Please excuse some inferior sound, I am displaced from my studio at the moment because of some very disagreeable pipes at our house that decided to flood our bottom floor.

June Special: A Disney Deep-Dive with Jamie Didawick

This was a Patreon bonus episode but too fun to not unlock!I bring you an amazing EXTRA SPECIAL episode with my friend and fellow Titaniac Jamie Didawick. We met on Instagram when she found the podcast a couple of years ago and have since bonded over both Titanic and Disney. She's a travel agent (the best one ever) and she helped me and my family have the time of our lives at Disney World just a few weeks ago. This is a conversational episode about everything from James Cameron's Pandora at D...

This is Not a Door: Titanic's Iconic Prop and its New Home at Titanic Museum Attraction

Join me in an audio essay, a love letter if you will, to the oak paneling made so iconic by the final scene of James Cameron’s Titanic and its new home at the Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge. A huge thank you to the museum for their support of the podcast for the past two years: I am honored to work with you all and I wish you the best with this exciting new exhibit!

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 ...

The Definitive Titanic Podcast

If you are a Titanic enthusiast, you MUST add “Unsinkable” to your regular podcast rotation. L.A. blazed a trail in the podcast community when she launched this pod in 2020. Today, the podcast world is full of great Titanic content. But, in my humblest opinion, “Unsinkable” is the definitive Titanic pod. Can’t recommend this one enough. Thank you L.A., for “Unsinkable”!

“As a historian,” this host thinks the best move is to team up with folks profiting from re-sinking the Titanic forever in VR while also improperly handling and labeling artifacts? I’m sorry, but that partnership is gross. Imagine any other memorial featuring VR goggles and haphazardly placed artifacts from a mass gravesite. Perhaps LA should remind listeners again about her moral issues with RMST / removing artifacts from the wreck site while she’s shilling these tourist expediences in the Bible Belt. Vibes are not great here. I’d recommend finding a less promo-focused podcast, or at least a less ethically contradictory one.

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.
