Bad Women: The Blackout Ripper
Pushkin IndustriesThe streets of wartime London are pitch black and the darkness offers cover to a murderer every bit as terrible as Jack the Ripper. During one awful week in February 1942 he viciously attacks women night after night. But the victims of the so-called Blackout Ripper are now all but forgotten.

- Season 1 is Amazing!
I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough. From episode 2 onwards the storytelling is masterful, you really get a feel for what every day life in Whitechapel was like. Focussing on the victims, and what their lives were like, rather than the murders themselves means this podcast is like nothing else out there telling the story of the ripper. Awesome.

Australia4 months ago - The Blackout Ripper
I discovered this series purely by chance. I must own up; in 2020, I began a wartime trilogy set during the height of the Blitz in London. I used the crimes of Gordon Cummins as a backdrop to the series especially Book 2, which is centred on a sex worker, Nancy Keeling, and her relationships with the men in her life. I moved Cummins’ crimes of 1942 to 1940 for the purposes of the narrative. This trilogy, The Ha’penny Steps, was published in 2024.

France4 months ago - Interesting story but not ear friendly
Wonderful research but feels more like a book, not an audio story. Hard to follow in spots. Could have used a script editor who understands audio writing.

I was hooked from the start, great storytelling about the world of poor women in Victorian London and the victims of the killing spree of the so called Ripper

Thank you for giving back their humanity to these women. In so doing, you return the ripper to his more appropriate position of horrendous, deranged monster, not some enigmatic avenger.
