Lloyd's obsession with Titanic began with a library book, Robert Ballard's The Discovery of the Titanic. He borrowed it so many times, the librarian asked him to stop checking it out so that other children might enjoy reading it.

Seeing James Cameron's Titanic at the age of ten sealed the deal. Lloyd has lived in the UK and been host of the early morning TV show in New Zealand he now reports for stuff. He's a dyed in the wool Titaniac.

Steven Ujifusa has a passion for oceanliners. The companies who build and ran them and the passengers who sailed on them - many immigrants coming to America to start a new life. I

n his book The Last Ships from Hamburg: Business, Rivalry, and the Race to Save Russia's Jews on the Eve of World War Steven explores the lives of the Jewish immigrants who fled Europe before war broke out.

The Wall Street Journal calls it "Absorbing . . . a David-and-Goliath tale of the industrial age."

In his book, Steven includes the stories of Jewish families on Titanic, having first learnt about the Ship of Dreams from his Jewish grandmother who told him about the bravery of the Straus's who didn't get into a lifeboat when given a chance. Ida would not leave the sinking ship because she couldn't imagine life without her husband, Isador, and they both perished.

Max Miller has a hugely popular YouTube channel, TASTING HISTORY, that explores the history of food and the way we have prepared and eaten food over the centuries. He caught the attention of Titanic Talk hosts Nelson and Alexandra because he's done a whole series on the food and menus on on Titanic - and has more episodes to come.

We hear how he got started making food and researching food history and culture after watching the Great British Baking Show and being inspired by the backstory of the bakes in the early episodes. When the pandemic hit he turned his new passion into a very successful channel.
If you love food and history and wonder about the dishes served on Titanic this one is for you.
