Titanic: Ship of Dreams

Titanic: Ship of Dreams is the new podcast from the award winning Noiser Network. Join host Paul McGann as he explores life and death on the most infamous ship in history. You'll be right there on board - mingling with the first-class passengers in their opulent surrounds and rubbing shoulders with the passengers down in steerage. Setting sail from Southampton, chugging across the Atlantic, striking the iceberg and sinking into the icy depths... We'll hear the harrowing tales of the victims and the testimonies of the lucky survivors. And Paul explores his own family story, following his great uncle Jimmy McGann - a trimmer down in Titanic's engine room. _______________________________________________________________________ Available for free wherever you get your podcasts or at noiser.com Early access to new episodes and ad-free listening for Noiser+ subscribers.
