Welcome to WITNESS TITANIC — the podcast “inquiry” where we call witnesses of Titanic’s great story, from modern experts to even the survivors of the sinking. Through their testimony, we navigate the uncertain waters of the Titanic legend, uncover what actually happened in April of 1912, and ultimately witness Titanic ourselves.
This podcast is made possible by the generous support of the Witness Titanic Patrons (patreon.com/c/witnesstitanic), and is produced and hosted by Titanic researcher James Penca.
WITNESS TITANIC is available wherever you listen to podcasts as well as in video form on YouTube (youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZetj_NBrP_NyCttmkL…). Join the W.T. Patreon (patreon.com/c/witnesstitanic) for bonus testimony, early access, the chance to vote on who should be called to testify next, and more!
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
