Time To Talk Titanic

Answering YOUR Questions! (Live!) Less-known passengers? Retrieving artifacts? Break-up theories?

After a decade of Titanic: Honor and Glory, let’s take a look at the story of its development - from its humble beginnings, through to their viral moment in 2016, and then onto their eventual downward spiral in more recent months. But can they achieve what they set out to back in 2011? The last ten years have been quite the ride, and with not much to show for it, members of the Titanic community, fans, and even casual observers on the sidelines, are keen to see what the future holds for this game. And when it comes to the inner-workings of this project, overpromising and underdelivering is just the tip of the iceberg... A big thank you to /u/afty for being such a huge help with this video and for providing the script. (I'll take this opportunity to plug his subreddit /r/rms_titanic - if you're interested in learning more about the real history of Titanic, please join us!)

Titanic: Honor and Glory - What Went Wrong? (An audio essay and 10 year retrospective of the game)

Despite the overwhelming physical evidence left on the surface of the Atlantic Ocean after the sinking, as well as countless and convincing eye witness testimonies from survivors, it wasn’t acknowledged and accepted as part of Titanic’s story that she had broken in half on April 15th 1912 - not until her wreck was discovered in two separate pieces on September 1st 1985. Why was this? What would cause an Inquiry into the sinking to completely overlook this major factor in the sinking and death of 1500 people, completely disregarding the accounts from many survivors for over 70 years? In this audio essay, I attempt to explain and illustrate the multiple reasons The White Star Line and British Wreck Commission wanted to silence the reports of the ship breaking, and how one survivors narrative alone might have shaped the worlds perception of the sinking for all those years until 1985. But is his account even as reliable as it appears?

Louie and myself have the privilege of speaking to not only a descendant of the Titanic tragedy, but a descendant of a man who had such a vital and significant role. We speak to Simon Medhurst, the great grandson of Robert Hichens, the man who was at the wheel of Titanic when she struck the iceberg, and was later in charge of lifeboat 6 alongside the 'unsinkable' Molly Brown!

A tale of two ships - myself and Louie discuss the controversial SS Californian, and the role they played in the Titanic tragedy, as well as the heroic efforts of the SS Carpathia in rescuing the survivors.

episode 2 - the Californian and the Carpathia

In the first episode of the Time To Talk Titanic podcast, Louie and I discuss the 1997 blockbuster, record-breaker and a redefining pop-culture moment - James Cameron's 1997 epic TITANIC. What did we like and dislike about the film, what did James Cameron get right, or wrong, and many other questions answered!
