Ep. 29: Jack the Ripper

Are you fond of your internal organs? More specifically, are you fond of them remaining internal? Well then 19th century London was NOT for you, and this episode may give you the heeby jeebies. This week, Hannah dives right into the notorious mystery that is Jack the Ripper--the serial killer who terrorized the Whitechapel parish of London, gutted unsuspecting women in the street, taunted the police, and got away with it all. Did he have five victims? Or 18? Why were there torsos showing up in basements? And how does one's ovary get accidentally dislodged into the bedding? All this and much much more! 

You're definitely going to want a drink for this one!
