The first season was good, despite slightly fruity effects. The second season amped that up with too many sound effects, incl lots of screaming, and that is where I stopped. Hate imaginary "she thought X" with no evidence, too

excellent pod. humanizing the victims seems so obvious now but I'm guilty of focusing the mild interest I had on Jack the Ripper. the women's stories are much more interesting. my one gripe is the "atmospheric" kind of dialogue segments. the voices are grating.

This podcast is about history and crime. Especially impressive are the examinations of women's lives during WWII and their struggles. S2's episode about the babies of African-American GIs and local British women was poignant and excellent.

Description

The streets of wartime London are pitch black and the darkness offers cover to a murderer every bit as terrible as Jack the Ripper. During one awful week in February 1942 he viciously attacks women night after night. But the victims of the so-called Blackout Ripper are now all but forgotten.  

In this season of Bad Women, historian Hallie Rubenhold and criminologist Alice Fiennes share new details from the archives to tell the extraordinary and moving stories of the women who died and why their deaths were swept from view.    

And don't miss season one of Bad Women about a cold case like no other. In the fall of 1888, five women were brutally murdered in the slums of London. But everything you think you know about Jack the Ripper and those murdered women is wrong. Hallie reconstructs the lives of the five victims - revealing the appalling treatment they faced as women in the 1880s, and completely overturning the accepted Ripper story.
