Sex and Scandal on the Titanic

<p>It's the most famous sunken ship in history, but its story is surrounded by a lot of myth.</p> <p>Were the working classes locked below deck and doomed to drown? Could the Titanic have avoided the iceberg? And most importantly (to us, at least), what sex and scandals took place on board?</p> <p>Joining Kate today is the marvellous Gareth Russell to talk us through what really went down on the Titanic, and why they've got <em>major</em> beef with Rose from the 1997 film.</p> <p>This episode was edited by Tim Arstall and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Freddy Chick.</p> <p>UK listeners: voting is now open for the Listener's Choice Award at this year's Podcast Awards!
