Episode Description

It’s our 50th episode! To celebrate, we're finally covering one of the most notorious macabre aspects of the Victorian Era, Jack the Ripper. Clara is trying her best not to slip too deep into the rabbit-hole that is possibly the most famous serial killer of all time, but she may have finally bit off more than she can chew. With an identity so mysterious that even Sherlock Holmes would be stumped, there is an entire community of people that dedicate their lives to deducing who could have committed these horrific crimes. But sometimes lost in the salacious details is the identity of the victims, and how they may be mischaracterized. Journey back with us to 1888 to hear their stories, but make sure you hold your nose and watch your step!
