But what is it about the Titanic disaster that continues to intrigue us, especially when countless other shipwrecks have occurred both before and after? Yet, time and time again, we are drawn back to the tragedy of the RMS Titanic.

Not Your History Class PodcastThe Aftermath of the Titanic and the Tragic Implosion of the Titan Submersible.In the first part of this series, I explored the many reasons why the Titanic was doomed from the start. In this episode, we shift focus to the major players behind the Titanic disaster and examine the tragedy surrounding the Titan submersible. Five curious tourists, eager to view the century-old Titanic wreck, tragically lost their lives due to the lack of proper engineering, safety protocols, and scientific expertise behind the Titan submersible's design. This Titan tragedy highlights the dangers of inadequate planning and technology in deep-sea exploration, and the aftermath continues to raise questions about submersible safety.

Join us to discuss his legacy with his latest biographer, Lieutenant General Sir John Kiszely. Hastings (Pug) Ismay was a general who never commanded beyond lieutenant colonel, rising through the ranks as a staff officer.

Terra CottaTitanic Exploration Lecture by Robert Ballard at Univ of Rhode IslandFirst, thank you Anchor, for being so accommodating. Occasional problems are caused by Artificial Intelligence obviously. 😁 Facts Not Lectured: 1. Titanic was/is a crime scene because of mass-murder; 2. Bruce Ismay and JP Morgan and CPT Smith planned its sinking! 3. Like Hitler,etc. their deaths were faked! 4. The "team" that looted the ship got off the unlit portion by a secret rescue boat from the Carpathia. This was probably the same steam ship that returned and picked up survivors and why it took so long to get to the lifeboats - because the crooks were helped first! 5. The richest man in the...

WarfareCluster Bombs: A HistoryMaximization of damage. That’s the purpose of the cluster bomb. These weapons, which can be traced back to the First World War, when the Kaiser would not give permission for their use, are still being dropped today. Not only that, but duds, unexploded during their deployment during the Second World War, the Vietnam War and the Gulf War still litter the earth. The cluster bomb is a paradox. A force will drop them to gain the advantage in a war, but will then not be able to move forward into the spaces where they have been dropped, or engage in...

TatterEpisode 8: A Thinking Debater's Guide to the AR-15The AR-15 style rifle is famous or infamous, depending on whom you ask. Celebrated by some as "America's Rifle," it is also notorious for its use in multiple mass shootings. For any of us inclined to engage in debates about access to the AR-15, especially if we debate gun enthusiasts who use and know the weapon, it behooves us to be informed. Preparing this podcast allowed me to learn more, particularly (though not exclusively) through my conversation with John Ismay, a New York Times reporter. I invite you to listen if you're curious.
