UNSINKABLE PODCAST Hosted by L.A. Beadles

Having a theme for a social gathering is fun and brings everything – and everybody – together! Titanic style can be as simple as serving – (and celebrating!) – that wonderful assortment of cheeses that was served lunch in first class aboard Titanic at lunch each day. We know what the cheeses were because passenger Ruth Dodge saved a menu. It was so fun to talk with L.A. Beadles during the holidays about easy, cost-conscious ways to entertain in Titanic style. Listen to my conversation with L.A. – “Your Guide To A Titanic-Themed Cocktail Party” – here.

WOMEN BEYOND A CERTAIN AGE – Conversations with Diane Worthington

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the Titanic heroes who looked out for others. How could they be so selfless at such a scary time? Their actions and bravery keep me encouraged and inspired. On the 108th anniversary of the Titanic, I was blessed to be able to talk about a few of the Titanic “helpers” with one of my personal heroes and mentors, Diane Worthington.

 “SOUND BITES” WITH ROB CARSON- 

I love all of the stories about my new book The Last Night on The Titanic, but it’s hard to say what it meant to me when, a few minutes before air time, “Sound Bites” host Rob Carson told me during our pre-call that he had prepared the Salmon Mousseline recipe from the book. He had me hook, line and sinker with that endearing update! Here’s a link to my talk with Rob.

WDCB 90.9 FM – THE ARTS SECTION WITH GARY ZIDEK

Minutes before the Chicago debut of my book The Last Night on The Titanic, I sat down at The Gage with one of my favorite Chicago radio hosts, Gary Zidek of WDCB 90.9 FM.

THE ERIC METAXAS SHOW

AMAZING GRACE It’s no fun throwing a party if you can’t be there. I missed my party at Delmonico’s NYC for the launch of The Last Night on The Titanic. Even going the day before, with flights between NYC & Chicago every hour, snow caused flight cancellations. However, one of my guests who I was so eager to meet, popular New York City radio show host Eric Metaxas, “made it up to me” by having me on his show. Eric is the author of “Amazing Grace,” the story of reformed slave ship captain William Wilburforce. The movie of the same title was one of the last movies that I enjoyed seeing with my mom. Aside from being one of the internet’s most engaging podcast hosts, there is nothing like Eric’s bumper music. For months, I looked forward to talking with Eric. Then on June 14, five minutes before I called into the show, I received a phone call from a veterinarian saying that my beloved rescue dog Duchess would have to be put down that afternoon. I muscled up and made it through this interview with as much grace and courage as I could before sobbing all the way to the animal hospital right afterward. Here is the interview: LINK

INTERVIEW WITH JON HAGADORN, HOST OF THE PODCAST “1001 HEROES, LEGENDS, HISTORIES & MYSTERIES”:  April 14, 2019 –Interview with Veronica Hinke

I was so proud to be the guest as “1001 Heroes, Legends, Histories & Mysteries” launched a full series on the sinking of the Titanic. Engaging and informed host Jon Hagadorn wrote this as the lead-in to the episode: “It was April 14th, 1912-exactly 107 years ago from the date of this release- and 2, 224 passengers and crew aboard the RMS Titanic were having the time of their lives, from the first class deck to steerage, enjoying the best of international cuisine on the most luxurious cruise ship ever built.  When the celebration turned to panic- then horror-many were sure they would never see the morning sun. The stories of heroism, love, and the will to survive have become the stuff of legend.”
