Welcome to Unsinkable, an intense look at the cultural history of Titanic and its era. The history of the ship 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.

Unsinkable: The Titanic Podcast

09/12/21 • 50 min

Welcome to Unsinkable, a new bi-monthly podcast about Titanic hosted by me, L.A. Beadles, a writer and historian who has been obsessed with the ship since I was 13 years old. I'm a podcast novice, so please forgive any audio hiccups in this first foray!
In the introductory episode, I attempt to set the tone for the pod by sharing some survivor accounts, outlining how I conceptualize the cultural history of the sinking, and laying out some of the topics I'd like to cover. I try, albeit with a bit of rambling and probably way too many mentions of James Cameron, to express my absolute awe at the incalculable humanity in the stories of the sinking and how they continue to reveal themselves.
Feedback is essential and I want to interact with the broader Titanic community. Please reach out with ideas, critiques, stories, anything. If you'd like to come on the pod, let's discuss that too. Let me know in your email if you're comfortable with it being read on air!

Instant Reaction Pod: James Cameron's Titanic in 3D/4K

Unsinkable: The Titanic Podcast

02/10/23 • 24 min

Join me for a quick reaction mini-sode! I saw Titanic in 3D/4K with my family last night, and it was just as emotional experience as I anticipated. I think my kids were floored, and I discovered a few details that I had never before...which honestly seemed impossible. Go see it on the big screen this weekend!

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

Unsinkable: The Titanic Podcast

09/17/24 • 65 min

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.

Sex is discussed in this episode, just a heads up, but not in any graphic way.

The "Real" J. Dawson: Joseph, not Jack

Unsinkable: The Titanic Podcast

04/05/23 • 43 min

Join me as I uncover a LOT (truly, more than I anticipated!) about the man so commonly referred to as "the real Jack Dawson." He was J. Dawson, Titanic crew member, but he wasn't even named Jack. And his real story is human and beautiful and complex on its own. We should be grateful that the film's popularity eventually trickled down into research and illuminated so much about him, though, and culturally it's astounding what an impact the 1997 film had on Dawson's legacy.
To watch the Discovery Channel documentary I reference throughout this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YVfjVIlxBw&t=1139s
And to buy Senan Moloney's book, The Irish on Titanic is difficult....it's out of print, sadly. But here's a link to the Goodreads page for reference and a check through used bookstore websites mind yield a treasure?! https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/1955213For the virtual film fest, register here!
