“I am so glad I found this podcast. Gavin’s take on all of these “true crime” stories is fabulous. Just when you think you know everything about them, you learn something new!”

“Fun and smart—the research is solid and the story-telling very well-done. Its the first crime podcast I’ve tried, and I’ve already listened to probably 5 episodes in one week!”

“Please if you can expand on the episode about Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Leon Trotsky. Some kind of follow up would be great. I really appreciate the balanced view this episode takes on this fascinating subject that combines art and politics and of course, assassination.”

“This is a meticulously researched podcast. It respects the intelligence of its audience. There are more than a few history podcasts that assume that listeners like to hear about silly, sensationalized topics in a dumbed down way.
This podcast is different. It tackles popular topics in an...”Read full review »

“It’s a kickass podcast for people who appreciate hard research and good stories. The host is professional without being stuffy and funny without being frivolous. I pretty much listened to the entire first season in one day and quickly moved onto the second. The podcast keeps getting better with...”Read full review »

“The voice tone and quality is just so grating. Sounds like that other very dry, poorly read mystery podcast guy. Very disappointing. Impossible to listen to.”

“Delightful and intellectually stimulating. I usually listen twice: the first time with my sister, to enjoy the twists and turns of the artist’s life and the narrative of the crime. Then, a second time on my own, so that I can pay attention and commit to memory the wealth of fascinating facts and...”Read full review »

“What is a crime when the criminal is the executive is head of the State? Poisoning isn’t a crime when it delivers the alleged perpetrators complete immunity wrapped in near total monarchal authority! Love the details roughed in to spice an otherwise beige Mediterranean antiquity. 👍🏼💀👍🏼”

“Intelligent, intriguing, with lots to say about art and artists of the past. Normally, I do not like true crime. But this more about the ideas and the historical story-telling than the crime element. The podcast is obviously deeply researched. It covers so many different places, time periods”

“As an artist and a history addict, I can’t recommend this podcast highly enough. The first season centered on Victorian artists who have been accused of being Jack the Ripper. These episodes are so rich in detail, and so evocative of the era that you can sometimes picture yourself entering a...”Read full review »

“I heard about this show from Dark Histories and I’m very happy that I did! There is nothing else out there quite like this podcast. Equal parts educational and entertaining, the host packages university-calibre research into the form of engaging (sometimes even suspenseful) stories.

“I was so excited when I found this show. From the first episode, I couldn’t get past the music/noises in the background. It’s too loud and the tones are annoying… I tried to give it a second try and start with season two and found the same issue. Too loud. Soooo annoying”

“This podcast has hit upon a fascinating intersection of art, true crime, and history. In that sense it has something to appeal to everyone, but the great thing is that it tells stories that few people know about. The first season offered a brilliant spin on an old subject - Jack the Ripper. It...”Read full review »

“Not an enemy of giving people their voice that have been denied it through history, and this is a well-researched, creative podcast. However, just a warning to those listening that are OG millennials and older, there are some elements that might grate a touch. Nothing major, and again, respect to...”Read full review »

“Thank you Gavin for this!
I have been reading about Jack the Ripper and the science behind true crime for 30 years and I am so very happy to have been told about your podcast. My sister sent it to.
Give it a try everyone.
I don’t want to spoil anything, so just listen. Enjoy!”

“This podcast is SO GOOD! I already considered myself fairly knowledgeable about Jack the Ripper lore and history, but boy did this podcast prove me wrong (in the best way!). It uses the Ripper murders as a starting point to delve into so many facets of history and art in the 1800s/early 1900s,...”Read full review »

“Whitehead writes and narrates ‘The Art of Crime’ with arterial vigor, delivering a pulsing narrative full of atmosphere, detail, and imagery. Whether describing the morals and mores of Victorian England, or the grislier elements of the Ripper’s “work”, he uses clear storytelling to unveil a new...”Read full review »

The first season looks at the careers of six artists who have been accused of the Jack the Ripper murders.
The host does a great job of weaving the biographies of the artists...”Read full review »
