Unpacking The Eerie
Unpacking the Eerie is a passion project that merges the intersections of our dark curiosities with our deeply held values. Each episode we’ll dig past the surface of morbid fascination, scavenging for unasked questions surrounding the stories that creep the hell out of us. We hope that when you listen, you’ll experience the feels, the enjoyment, the horror and interludes of comedic relief that we do. - 2 politicized social workers based in the PNW and in India.

Content warning: anti-black racism, anti-asian racism, mentions of suicide, trauma, death
On April 10th, 1912, one of the largest luxury liners ever built departed on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. Just 3 days later, more than 1500 of the 2,200 people aboard would be dead, many lost in the ocean forever. You guessed it. This episode is all about the Titanic. Here, we discuss how classism, patriarchal hubris, and white supremacy resulted in the avoidable massive tragedy. Join us for another cocktail for disaster, as we take you on the journey of this fated ship, its aftermath and untold stories in between.
