Could do with more episodes though!
I have enjoyed this podcast from the days of Paul begg , chris scott and martin Fido. I would love you to have more guests on your show. 🙏🏻
It’s a very intersting podcast and it digs into different angles of the topic with some insightful opinions. It’s the only podcast on jack the ripper that satisfies my curiosity on it. I only wish the hosts would give more context sometimes (ie a quick targeted summary for those who may be out of the loop before discussing a specific topic like a specific suspect), and that they used decent microphones as the audio quality sometimes makes it almost unbearable to listen to
Another brilliant episode. This type of format is when the show succeeds best. Eloquent discussion with individuals that know and understand the case. Thank you.
Listened to the Tumblety episodes and they haven’t changed my mind…. He just doesn’t make a good Jack. He was gay, serial gay murderers tend to have male victims, he was to flamboyant and would have stood out like a sore thumb, and I don’t believe he would have known Whitechapel enough to just disappear….. Also the author talking seemed to babble quite a bit
