True Crime of the Historical Kind Podcast

Before the murders began, London was already unraveling. Poverty, overcrowding, and disease turned Whitechapel into a place of desperation...The uneasy mix of empire, industry, and inequality paved the way for darkness.

Part I explores the world of late Victorian London and the real lives of the women who became the victims in this story. This isn’t just the tale of a killer, it’s the story of the city that created him.
