SPECIAL SERIES - Listen to the rest of the Titanic story told by historian Virginie Girod, in an unpublished series in 4 parts. Three days after departing from Southampton in England, a first-class passenger overhears a strange conversation between the ocean liner's captain John Smith and the chairman of White Star Line, Lord Bruce Ismay. It's about a speed record that should be beaten and engines that should be pushed to the limit. But the next day, April 14, 1912, several ships which were also in the North Atlantic began to signal the presence of icebergs by radio… Is speeding up in this area, in an attempt to reach New York more quickly, really reasonable? In this episode of the podcast "At the heart of History" produced by Europe 1 Studio, Virginie Girod retraces the hours leading up to the sinking of the Titanic, the worst maritime disaster of the 20th century. "At the heart of history" is a Europe 1 Studio podcast. Writing and presentation: Virginie Girod - Production: Adèle Humbert - Artistic direction: Adèle Humbert and Julien Tharaud - Production: Clément Ibrahim - Original music: Julien Tharaud - Additional music: Julien Tharaud and Sébastien Guidis - Communication: Kelly Decroix - Distribution and writing: Eloise Bertil - Visual: Sidonie Mangin
