“This is a genuinely interesting podcast, a unique hybrid of arts education, true crime, and historical documentary.
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 into the larger story of the Ripper crimes and the Victorian and modern attempts to identify him. It’s a surprisingly entertaining (and educational) juggling act. The writing is lively and witty. The sound design is solid. The podcast’s website also has great supporting materials related to each episode, which makes the content of the show itself that much more vivid and memorable.
My sense is that this show will appeal to lovers of history and art history, and to people who enjoy learning about the past through the genre of “historical true-crime.” There’s nothing else quite like it!”

“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.”

“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”
