The Titanic's Discovery During a Secret Cold War Mission | The History of Heavy Metal Music

Hightailing Through History

Welcome to episode 81! In this episode, Laurel covers the story of the RMS Titanic's sinking and how it remained undiscovered on the ocean floor for the next 73 years until a top secret Cold War mission led to its (almost accidental) discovery in 1985. After we get back on dry land, KT brings us a long awaited topic near and dear to her heart: metal music. From its early foundations and icons to the passing of the torch to new metal sounds, KT covers the history of heavy metal music with a lot of heart.
