Steven Schwankert lived in China for twenty five years and was shocked to learn that no-one knew there were six Chinese survivors of the Titanic sinking. With renown documentarian Arthur Jones, he set out to tell their story in his documentary THE SIX .
Through meticulous research, searching for descendants and recreating the possible experiences of what might have happened that night, they go on an as yet untold journey of discovery. A fascinating and educational film to say the least and a Must Watch for all our listeners.

Steven also has his own podcast - he's back home in New Jersey and his stories follow the New Jersey-linked passengers on Titanic - he's up to 60 as of this publication!

Nelson and Alexandra have a fascinating conversation about making films about Titanic and discovering more unknown facts about The Ship of Dreams.

Kris Andersson worked with choreographer Lynne Hockney on a film before she was looking for dancers to help her on James Cameron's Titanic. Kris was hired for the dance team and learnt traditional folk dances for Lynne to show James Cameron. But he ended up in Mexico with the rest of the dancers teaching Titanic's Third Class 'passengers' their steps and on one very special occasion twirled Kate Winslet in his arms for a morning when he doubled for Leonardo Di Caprio.

Like many of the actors featured in Alexandra's Ship of Dreams: Titanic Movie Diaries, Kris's unique perspective and his unforgettable experiences on the set of Titanic add more stories to those you have never heard before.

In this fascinating episode of Titanic Talk Nelson and Alexandra talk Titanic weather with television weatherman Erick Adame - Since the tragedy of Titanic's sinking on April 15th 1912 much discussion has been made about the clear starry sky, the freezing temperatures and the mirage effect that may have prevented the lookouts from seeing the iceberg in time.
Erick enlightens us on the theories and the facts of how the weather effects us all every day and how the weather effected the outcome on that fateful night.

Joshua Noble came to us via the wonderful Titanic community that has grown, widened and deepened since Alexandra made her feature documentary SHIP OF DREAMS: Titanic Movie Diaries to co-ordinate with the 25th anniversary celebrations of James Cameron's Titanic.

And since co-hosting Titanic Talk with Nelson Aspen - a podcast that started as a way to promote the film but now stands on its own as a place to delve further into the stories of Titanic - we continue to build on that community.

Joshua Noble has been interested in the history of the ship from a very young and age and once he was old enough to watch it, a fan of the film too. But of particular interest are the lesser known characters, survivors and stories that go beyond Thomas Andrews, Captain Smith and Molly Brown. In this episode he shines a light on Annie Robinson, Archibald Butt, Lutie Davis and many others.

You will learn a lot and you're in for a real treat!

Fellow podcast host and Titaniac Paul Carganilla and his daughter, star of the new Spy Kids film - 8 year old Everly Carganilla - charm the heck out of Nelson and Alexandra with their love and knowledge of Titanic along with their own creative endeavours ~ performing, singing, acting, podcasting, writing and filmmaking.

If there ever was a multi-hyphenate family competition, these guys would win it.

Listen, leave a review and we will see you on the next TITANIC TALK

WARNING ~ this episode contains STRONG language.

Alexandra and Craig met not on the set of Titanic, but in the bar of the Real Del Mar in Mexico where all the actors in the film were staying while they worked - or drank margaritas - for months on end.

Hear about Craig's  banter with 'Jim' Cameron, his bust up with an un-named fellow actor, his most recent work, and his podcast Kelly's Heroes which he recorded during the pandemic.

Not for the faint hearted but this is a funny one for sure.
Craig's podcast is KELLY'S HEROES

For this first very special episode of Season Two of Titanic Talk Nelson and Alexandra recorded in front of a live audience at the Mastic Beach Mini Indie Film Festival in New York just after they had watched Alexandra's documentary Ship of Dreams: Titanic Movie Diaries.

The questions sometimes gave chills and always gave smiles as we shared memories of Titanic with Amy Gaipa who is a co-founder of  the festival but also most notably played Rose's maid, Trudy Bolt in James Cameron's Titanic.

Our Titanic community grows ever wider, more friendly and profound. Listen as people share their first thoughts of the documentary and long term memories of James Cameron's film and Titanic herself.

In this, the final episode of Season One, Nelson and Alexandra talk Titanic with the founder of The Titanic Trail in Cobh, Ireland.

Dr Michael Martin, a retired mariner and ocean liner enthusiast opened his walks and talks about the history of Titanic and her last port of call, Cobh, Ireland in 1997 and as is proven by the fact we are all still fascinated by the doomed ship, he's still going strong 364 days a year - they don't have tours on Christmas Day unfortunately.

Discover the origin of his talks and all the wonders and history that this one small port on the southern coast of Ireland holds.

Nelson and Alexandra chat with Derek Lea - a man of many talents. Not only does he play the heroic role of Stoker Frederick Barrett in James Cameron's Titanic.

Derek's resumé ranges from James Bond to Dr Who to The Bourne Ultimatum - Derek has acted and performed stunts in them all. His IMDB page is very long. His stories are wonderful and Alexandra gets to fan-girl on him for the boxing choreography he designed on one of her early films - Boxer on the Wilderness.
