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 BlairSources 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.Victorian bellJohnsonBrandEditing, “Ding Ding small bell” (https://freesound.org/s/173932/), This work is licensed under the Creative Commons 0 License.Creepy musicArcane_77, “Intro ou background musical.mp3” (https://freesound.org/s/642503/), This work is licensed under the Creative Commons 0 License.TypewriterFellwell5, “Long Sound Typewriter” (https://freesound.org/s/170547/), This work is licensed under the Creative Commons 0 License.Transition instrumentalNicholas The Octopus Camarena, “To Her” (https://freesound.org/s/681394/), This work is licensed under the Attribution 4.0 License.Background musicJosefpres, “Piano loops 073 octave down long loop 120 bpm.wav” (https://freesound.org/s/681948/), This work is licensed under the Creative Commons 0 License.Romantic musicEKVelika, “Chonology of love” (https://freesound.org/s/553821/),
