“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 Victorian wig shop or music hall.
Although this season was perhaps the favorite thing I listened to in 2022, I’m even more thrilled with the second season, which is about artists who were involved in assassinations and assignation attempts. So far, this new series has taken us to post-revolutionary Mexico, New York City in the 1960s, and Ancient Rome. In each case, the episodes excel at world-building and show a real insight into human psychology and many different art forms. The stories superbly researched, and although they focus on individual people, they never lose sight of the artistic and social contexts that made those people who they were.
This is not a “normal” true crime podcast, as it is less interested in sensationally whipping up fear and indignation than it is teaching you what crime teaches us about various art forms of the past. It’s highly original and very well made.”

“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”
