  • Summary

  • Part 4/4. By looking at the men accused of being Jack the Ripper, we uncover dark truths about Victorian society - and our own. Why were these men, most of them almost certainly innocent, singled out as monsters?


    Today Anthony Delaney tells Maddy Pelling about how quack doctor Francis Tumblety, an American, became a prime suspect in the case. He is a shining example of medical malpractice but does that make him a murderer?


    Written by Anthony Delaney. Edited by Freddy Chick & Tomos Delargy. Produced by Freddy Chick and Charlotte Long. With thanks to the Little Dot Studios team for their voices.

Fantastic

This entire podcast is wonderful but I particularly found this mini series to be interesting. I’m not an expert on the Ripper murders but really enjoyed the societal context given here. Anthony’s closing was so powerful that I found myself weeping for the terrible fates of so many women at the hands of men across the ages. Thank you for honoring their lives.
