I have always been fascinated by the story of the Titanic. It was a truly tragic tale of people setting off for an adventure, only to have their dreams shattered in the most awful way. These real-life glimpses into the experiences of the passengers and crew really adds to the haunting aspect but also allows us to look back on what life was like in 1912. It is a moving portrail of what happened on that fateful night.

I've found it so interesting listening to the letters of Titanic passengers. This is absolutely perfect if you're an absolute history nerd like me.

A mix of letters, reflections and also the translation of Morse code messages.

Very moving radio drama listening to past voices in their own words.

Hearing the voices of Titanic passengers through their personal letters and correspondence was deeply moving and added more depth and understanding to the tragedy itself.
