Victorian Era Murders / Jack The Ripper

Alan Warren's podcast tackles the Jack the Ripper case as part of a broader look at Victorian-era murder. Across 27 episodes, Warren covers not just the canonical five Whitechapel victims but also lesser-known murders from the same period, connecting the Ripper killings to the wider crime landscape of 1880s and 1890s Britain. Episodes on criminal profiling history, the biography of Bram Stoker, and suspect analyses of figures like Dr. Francis Tumblety give the show a scholarly bent that goes beyond simple case recaps. Warren interviews authors and researchers — including crime writer Rachel Corbett — and brings a methodical, educational approach to each topic. The episodes run at a comfortable length for a history podcast, and the weekly release schedule kept the catalog growing steadily between 2022 and 2025. The show holds a strong 4.8-star rating on Apple Podcasts, though it only has 12 reviews, reflecting its niche audience. The main caveat listeners mention is audio quality. Some episodes sound like they were recorded on older equipment, which can be distracting if you are used to slick network production. But if you can look past that, the depth of research is genuinely impressive. Warren clearly knows his Victorian crime history, and episodes like his detailed breakdown of the Mary Kelly murder scene show a level of forensic attention that most Ripper podcasts skip over.
