Unsinkable: The Deep Past Podcast artwork

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.
