“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, including pop culture, family dramas, journalism, police practices, socio-economic trends, substance abuse, gender and sexuality issues, and so much more. Incredibly well-written and insanely well-researched, this podcast draws on many primary sources and tons of preexisting scholarship to deliver a truly insightful, often laugh-out-loud funny, sometimes eerie, and rather charming series. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys true crime, art history (including theater, fashion, and literature), politics, the London gas lamp era, mystery, and wit. Gavin Whitehead makes these worlds come alive, as if you’re the one walking down the cobblestones of Whitechapel, hearing the carriages roll by, as a dense fog settles in… Also, the theme music rocks. Five stars! Can’t wait for more!”

“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 »

“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!”
