A podcast featuring a creep and her creep tolerant friend, diving into the background of all things horror. History, sociology, and politics, from zombies to serial killers.
This episode is about the story of Annie Chapman. Born in a precarious position to an enlisted man and his dollymop, Annie experienced a life of tragedy from childhood to her very end. This is almost certainly our saddest story in this series, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't deserve to have her story told and the record of her life set straight.

43. Polly - The Victims of Jack the Ripper
Polly is the first canonical victim of Jack the Ripper. She also lived a full and complex life; one that probably resonates with a lot of people even now. She also never appeared to engage in any form of sex work, but the assumption that she did marred not only her investigation but investigations of further victims.
Polly's story was taken from her twice. First by her murderer, and again by the investigation, coroner's inquest, and everyone else who reported a simplified and fabricated version of her story. We hope to help restore some of her truth.

42. Jack the Ripper ep 2 - The Whitechapel Murders
It's episode 2 on our coverage of the victims of Jack the Ripper and this episode we actually tell the story of the Whitechapel Murders. These are the 11 unsolved murders that took place in Whitechapel from 1888 to 1891, five of which are considered officially as victims of the notorious serial killer Jack the Ripper.
We also start the episode talking about Karens and the dawn of society's hatred of sex work, it makes sense we promise. And we talk a little bit about how difficult it is to review this case because there's a lot of missing information and a lot of mis-information.
