Please take my listener survey to help improve the podcast: www.surveymonkey.com/r/airwave  The RMS Titanic is probably the most famous ships ever to set sail on the seven seas. She voyaged during the Edwardian Era, a time in which lavish food in bountiful quantities was the hallmark of wealth and a cornerstone of high society. So put on your best white tie and tails or your most elegant beading evening gown, saunter down the grand staircase and take your seat next to John Jacob Astor or the unsinkable Molly Brown as we enjoy the lavish meal served to First class diners on the Titanic’s final night above the waves. https://www.rayannehouse.com/titanic-menu https://downtonabbeycooks.com/ https://www.thespruceeats.com/food-and-menus-on-the-rms-titanic-1912-435459 Check out my Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/lindsayholiday Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

Every Tuesday, Lindsay Holiday pours a fresh cup and settles in to share the fascinating, often overlooked tales from our past. History Tea Time is built on the idea that history is best served with a generous helping of personality and a focus on the compelling narratives that textbooks tend to skip. Lindsay’s approach feels like a conversation with a knowledgeable friend who has a real knack for digging up the juiciest details. While you’ll often find episodes delving into the lives of queens and royalty from across the globe, there’s a consistent spotlight on women’s history, bringing forward the stories of figures who shaped the world from behind the throne or beyond the traditional spotlight. Listening to this podcast feels like uncovering a secret side of the past, one where the human drama, ambitions, and scandals are given center stage. Each episode is a deep dive into a specific story, told with clarity and a genuine enthusiasm that makes even the most complex historical moments accessible and utterly engaging. If you’ve ever wanted the real, unvarnished, and truly interesting stories behind the names and dates, this is your weekly invitation to listen in.
