0:00.0	This is a Glassbox Media Podcast.
0:30.0	Welcome to Crawl Space. I'm Tim here today with Lance Lance. How are you today?
0:39.0	Do a fantastic today Tim. I hope everyone out there who's listening. Hope you're all doing as fantastic as I'm feeling.
0:45.0	I am very excited about bringing new guests to our listeners' ears, especially when we make these new friends,
0:51.0	and we hit it off with a really good rapport with the upcoming guest.
0:55.0	But Tim, I want to have a good rapport with you in order to do so I need to know how you're doing.
0:59.0	How are you? I'm doing great. Thanks a lot for asking. I appreciate the build up there.
1:04.0	Yeah, we had a great conversation with a fellow podcast host. His name is Gavin Whitehead.

1:17.0	but mostly Jack the Ripper.

2:09.0	So big thank you to my former coworker for coming through in the clutch for us for this episode.
2:15.0	Wow. Well, yeah, listeners, make sure to check that out. That's going to be posted on our social media pages as well.
2:23.0	So you can find that at crawl space podcast or crawl space pod.
2:26.0	And it's pretty challenging to cover a case like the White Chapel murders, Jack the Ripper.
2:31.0	But Gavin does a really good job because he takes the approach of linking it to artists that might have been involved with this.
2:38.0	And I had no idea about this. Lewis Carroll, the actor, Richard Mansfield, and the artist Walter Snickert.
