Episode Two: Jill the Ripper

In the second episode of this season, Gracie introduces one of the more popular theories of the Whitechapel Murderer’s identity, Jill the Ripper. After briefly establishing the historical context for this theory, we talk about Victorian gender ideology and what a female serial killer means for a mythology like the Whitechapel Murders using a dime novel from 1889 called “The Whitechapel Murders; Or, An American Detective in London.” Voice Actors and Interviewees: Ross Schmidt, Michael Blair, Jeremy Figgins, Michele LaCrue, Dana Blair Sources can be found at http://graciebain.com/episode-two/ Audio credits: Theme music: Victor_Natas, "Foggy Passage" (https://freesound.org/s/664158/), This work is licensed under the Creative Commons 0 License.
