Ep 148 - A Very Famous Series of Murders in Whitechapel: Jack the Ripper
Happy Halloween!! Today, we tell the classic tale of Jack the Ripper - who was he? We probably will never know, but we learned some stuff along the way. Like - most of his victims were not sex workers; they were poor and unhoused, and in 1888, London's mind was the same thing. PLUS - it has to be considered that they were killed while sleeping (and this blew Taylor's mind, but would make a lot of sense!). Join us today if only to remind yourself that this is not the worst time to be alive!
