Finally! Let’s talk about the victims!
What a fascinating podcast! This is such deep and thorough insight into the women sadly memorialized in history by “Jack the Ripper.” We have always known everything about the killer, but all we know about the women are their names and the work they may have found themselves in to survive the poverty at this time. We have seen the gruesome pictures, but have never thought to learn more about those struggling in period of history. Charles Dickens wrote so much about the working class in England and the podcast almost feels like an extension of that scenery. We finally get to know the women’s personal lives and they are made into human beings, worthy for us to know so much more about them than only their senseless murders. It is such an intriguing approach, a very necessary one, given that we have been so enthralled by the killer and never once seemed to ask who the women were. Did they have families? Had they come from wealth but lost money? Did they have children? Could they sing? Excellent history, research, and narration.

I really don't like the Pushkin style: overproduced and sensationalistic. But, having read Rubenhold's book "The Five," I knew this podcast's actual content would be worthwhile. What Rubenhold tells us about the victims is important, well-researched, and fascinating.Read full review »
