The Show About Titanic

What does it take to dedicate your life to a single moment in history? For George Behe, it started with a childhood question: Which version of the Titanic story is actually true? After a year-long break due to state exams in Ireland, The Show About Titanic's host returns to interview respected Titanic historian and writer George Behe who provided answers to our questions in writing due to health issues.

Along the way, we encounter gamblers, forgotten passengers, and acts of extraordinary sacrifice - revealing a disaster that’s far more complex, and more human, than the legend.
