I am THRILLED to bring you an interview with Max Miller, whose YouTube Channel is a gorgeously innovative but also accessible look at the local and global histories of food and recipes across time and place. There are equal parts cooking and history! I'll link his Titanic-specific episodes just below, as well as his video for 400-year old Buttered Beere, which we discuss at the end. I'm so grateful we got to speak about his love of Titanic, what inspired/inspires him to to create Tasting History, and the beauty in the "mundane" details our textbooks have so often left out. Thank you Max, for giving some time to Unsinkable!

Join me for a look at the life of Engelhart and Helen Ostby, father-and-daughter jewelers who boarded Titanic in First Class. Until recently, I had no idea that such a crucial figure in Edwardian fashion and design was a passenger or that he trained his daughter in the business by traversing Europe, a fairly modern and feminist concept. The Ostby story is one of immigration, one of innovation, and their rings remain part of our aesthetic today. This is random and beautiful Titanica at its finest!

Join me for an exploration of the life of Third Class Passenger Hilda Hellstrom. In November of this year, a group of Titanic researchers, enthusiasts and descendants assembled to honor her life and memories with a new headstone at Memorial Park Cemetery in Skokie, Illinois. This episode is an amalgam of that experience, with descendant interviews conducted by listener Mia Morgante (an unsinkable thank you, Mia!) and insight from the Paul Burns, Titanic Museum Attractions' curator and Tony Probst, the collector who spearheaded this memorial service. Mia and I also sit down to unpack the experience, speak on the importance of preserving oral histories, and what a life like Hilda's means for all of us.

Special thank yous to: Paul Burns, Tony Probst, Anton Centko, Claire Centko, and everyone at the Titanic Museum Attractions

This is the first of two holiday-inspired December episodes.

Join me AT the Titanic Museum Attraction as Emily Densky and I discuss the haunting beauty in recognizing the lives of Titanic's children, both those who survived and those lost. We tell the story of Douglas Spedden, whose survival that night (alongside his family) inspired his mother Daisy to write a children's book at Christmas, 1913--to help him cope with the unbelievable trauma, no doubt. Douglas' life was cut horrifically short just two years later, and the manuscript slept in a trunk for decades...until a descendant stumbled upon it and brought it out into the world.

We jump around at the end to a bit of everything as well--happenings at the museum, descendant visits to the museum, and....past life regression?!

Join me as I catch up with Titanic Talk co-host (and my dear friend!) Nelson Aspen as he releases his new novel, Dancing Between the Raindrops, which is truly a love letter to New York City. Nelson is, of course, also a renowned entertainment journalist and a prolific writer. We discuss everything from his earliest interest in Titanic and how it shaped his life and passions to the writing process and its sleepless nights.
