Episode #77: One Family's Story of Jack the Ripper, with Robert Gereb

Books and Brews: the place where beer and literature meet! Róbert Geréb is a boundary-pushing author and accomplished AI developer. As co-author of Jack the Ripper's Assassins—the cornerstone of The Dighton Chronicles, built on multigenerational oral history from a Romani-Viking lineage—he melds immersive storytelling with rigorous historical research. He also penned two nonfiction guides through Aspect Books: EASY MILLIONAIRE MATH, a practical blueprint for building scalable, passive-income businesses; and Declutter Your Life, Enrich Your Soul, an emotionally holistic program for simplifying your surroundings, finances, and relationships for deeper personal growth.  00:00 START 09:35 Drink 1: the Ripper's Fog 13:38 Reading 1: Game Shooting with Prince Albert Victor 20:20 How a Transylvanian got involved with an English Romani family's history 24:50 What did you know about Jack the Ripper before meeting the Dightons? 26:16 Drink 2: Mary's Last Night 29:41 Reading 2: When Caroline First Met the Prince 36:03 Some stories are too strange to be anything but true 40:38 Why he let her live 42:44 Drink 3: Autumn Ripper 45:53 Reading 3: What Started it All 52:13 Other theories on who Jack the Ripper was 55:15 Why do some stories capture our imagination for centuries?   Visit our PATREON for our extended AFTER HOURS with Robert Gereb and other authors Https://jacktherippersassassins.com Www.booksandbrews.net www.lauravosika.com www.gabrielshornpress.com www.glenmirrilfarms.wordpress.com  ~ ~ If you enjoy our interviews or have benefitted from them, we invite you to help us continue our work. It takes a great deal of time and money to produce Books and Brews. We've been doing interviews since January 2017 as a free service to authors. We continue to promote those authors on our social media for years after their interviews. Subscribing, following, liking, commenting and sharing all help us to keep doing what we do. A $5 tip helps us pay for our many expenses: Libsyn hosting, web hosting, Google meets, providing the drinks for the interview and the many hours of preparation and editing that go into each episode.
