The Tales We Tell

Ep. 169: Titanic Conspiracy Theories

Hannah Partsch

Billionaires cutting costs to make their cool new toy cheaper, and thus causing the watery deaths of others: sound familiar? This week, Hannah brings on special guest co-host Hannah M. to talk about the ship that started it all, and the careless billionaires that haven't changed in 100+ years. It's Titanic conspiracy theories! To say this one is chaotic is an understatement. The girls talk Irish accents, dolphin blowholes, Egyptian mummies, the Pillsbury Doughboy, and so so much more (with plenty of Titanic, 1997 references throughout). You don't want to miss this one!

So pour your drinks, get your snacks, and join us for more Conspiracy Theories!
