You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

The Art of Crime is a brand new history podcast about the unlikely collisions between true crime and the arts.

Season one is titled The Unusual Suspects, Artists Accused of Being Jack the Ripper.

It profiles six renowned artists who have fallen under suspicion as the Whitechapel murderer.

Lewis Carroll, yes, the guy who wrote Alice in Wonderland is the one best known to us today.

Joining him, among others, are the master wig maker in costume designer said to have

supplied Scotland Yard with disguises while it was hunting the Ripper. The actor who originated

the dual role of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and was playing it in London at the time of the

killing spree, and the Victorian pop star whose brother, It so happens, has also been accused of committing

the crimes. As you meet each artist, you'll find out who they wear, what it was like to work

in their trades in the Victorian period, and why they'd be nominated as Ripper candidates. You'll

also explore this larger question. Why have artists, especially great artists, proven so

attractive as suspects.
