NEW FAVORITE PODCAST!!
This is such an IMMACULATELY done podcast. I love everything about it so far. Love the host’s take and special attention to historical detail. I, like most, had only heard about the infamous Jack the Ripper in terms of brutality and the mystery surrounding his identity. Absolutely nothing about the women. I only learned recently they were sex workers. This perspective is SO NEEDED in our current society and culture of misogyny. So often women, especially the most vulnerable such as sex workers, are the victims of unbelievable violence and all that is remembered is their last few moments, the stigma of their occupation (with no context as to societal conditions that often led them there) and even worse their entire story in position to their murderers. Their whole lives summed up to their last few moments. There is such a lack of empathy, respect, compassion and love towards sex workers - complete dehumanization. I’m so pleased to hear this new take on the victims of the Ripper. Additionally, I appreciate how the inherent misogyny within Victorian England society, the police force, and definitely the so-called “Ripperology” fandom is highlighted, and how the combination of those have led to our failure at respectfully viewing these women’s lives as well as their deaths. And I’m also glad that the host highlighted - even if briefly in an effort to humbly not focus on herself - the abuse that women often take when having the audacity to stand up femme victims in history or enter spaces misogynists gatekeep and view as their own. I can’t wait for every new episode, you’re doing the right thing Hallie and history will remember you for it. Nolite te bastardes carborundorum

Fascinated with true crime mainly from a psychological stand point but not many books cover the lives of the victims. They always detail the lead up to the death and impact after. Then continue with the murder’s life erasing them as people in pursuit of understanding the murder. victimhood is...Read full review »
