This is Not a Door: Titanic's Iconic Mov...

L.A. Beadles
About this episode

Join me in an audio essay, a love letter if you will, to the oak paneling made so iconic by the final scene of James Cameron’s Titanic and its new home at the Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge. A huge thank you to the museum for their support of the podcast for the past two years: I am honored to work with you all and I wish you the best with this exciting new exhibit! Emily Densky joins me from the museum to discuss its opening and plans for the new space.
