Why We Can’t Let Go of the Titanic

Apr 12, 2012

New Yorker contributor Daniel Mendelsohn talks about why the Titanic has such an enduring appeal, 100 years after its sinking. His article “Unsinkable: Why We Can’t Let Go of the Titanic” appears in the April 16 issue of The New Yorker.

The Leonard Lopate Show

The Leonard Lopate Show, hosted by Leonard Lopate for over three decades, featured conversations that New Yorkers turned to each afternoon for insight into a wide variety of topics; including heavy-hitting writers, actors, ex-presidents, political figures, economists, scientists, comedians, dancers, chefs, historians, filmmakers and do-it-yourself experts. Tune into Midday on WNYC, our new program, from 12-2pm every weekday, right here.
