Another vote for numbering episodes, and I suggest putting the number towards the beginning of the title. If the number is at the end it doesn't show on the app, since the app doesn't display a full long title.

Dear Producers,
NUMBER THE EPISODES!
Sincerely,
Us

These episodes are jumbled and need to be numbered.

Maybe also be put in a playlist with the numbering.

Great stuff.. but you guys make it really annoying trying to sort out which episode is which in sequence. I mean, what possible reason is there for not habitually labeling these with “part 1” “part 2” etc ?

@jonbaxter2254 9 months ago

This series has been spectacular.

@lonestar4378 9 months ago (edited)

Pease label your series Part 1, Part 2 etc. Surely it’s not that difficult!

My grandma was a year old at the time of these murders. Almost impossible to grasp how “recent” this was.

I made the mistake of trying to listen to this while driving to work, started feeling queasy at the description (which I can usually handle), had to switch to something else to avoid something happening at the wheel, tried again while making lunch, then could not eat my grilled cheese sandwiches. But great episode, and I am a new listener.

As a psychiatrist it’s fascinating to think that the intense interest and fevered projections about these murders arose in the same decade as ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ AND Freud’s ‘On the Interpretation of Dreams’. Maybe all of Europe was just coming to grips with the aggression and un-beautiful impulses in us all. There’s a huge undercurrent here about the dawning of this realization. These days perfectly nice people can say they sometimes feel hate for their spouse or parent, or that they lust (like Jimmy Carter) for people who are not their spouses. But it seems like in the 1890’s this acknowledgement was so close to the surface, and hypocrisy so rife, that the atmosphere was absolutely incendiary.

As my dissertation as a Historian and Scientist graduate was on Francis Galton and he was the founder of fingerprint studies and many other things. Can I suggest a series on him.

Another great series. It would be wonderful to show maps of the locations as you go through the episodes

My grandmother had an Astrakhan coat and hat and even from a distance you could see it. She said it was much warmer then any fur. It’s also called Persian lamb or wool

A wonderful podcast series again gentlemen! You hit it out of the ball park each time. Love learning new details and theories on Jack the Ripper and all of your podcasts. Love your discussions on all the medieval subjects. Alfred the Great through your 1066 series is marvelous! Would also humbly request you number the episodes as so many below have asked. I don't know who controls that but it would be very helpful as most of us like to rewatch all the episodes. It's very helpful when you mention top notch historians, etc. on topic of which you speak.
