The Rest Is History: The Titanic - Dominic Sandbrook and Tom Holland, two of the most popular and critically acclaimed historians in podcasting, have just launched a fascinating six part series (that’s six hours!) exploring the sinking of the Titanic from a multitude of different angles.

From the background and events leading up to the disaster, to how the sinking reflected issues at the time, such as immigration, class, the decline of the Gilded Age and the shift of global power from Britain to America. The first couple of episodes are available to watch, with early access to additional episodes available to paid Rest Is History subscribers.
