"Did you know?!"... that Loretta Anne Miller has been a Titanic enthusiast since age 6? Yup. She's got the proof in her horribly written school kid journal that her favorite game to play on the Braham Elementary playground was Titanic, her favorite book was "On Board the Titanic", and her most vivid childhood memory to this day is being breathless looking at "The Big Piece" in the original 1999 St. Paul Titanic exhibit. Her obsession has become a sort of... trade mark to anyone who knows her. So, why the fascination? Tune in to Tea-Tanic; a podcast where we will be drinking, spilling, and talking all things T... Titanic, of course.
