Hey everyone, Ray here.

Today I'm doing things a bit differently, and sharing with you a new podcast that dives

into a perhaps little known bit of history that took place during World War II.

It's called Bad Women.

In a gripping for a season, historian Haley Rubenhold uncovered the true stories of Jack the

Ripper's victims, and now she's back with a new season exploring the lives of the women

murdered by another depraved killer, the Blackout Ripper.

Haley takes listeners back to wartime London, whose buildings have been devastated by a rain

of bombs and where the streets have plunged into darkness.

Over a single week in February 1942, the Blackout Ripper stalks these streets, hunting for

his victims night after night in bars and clubs.

Haley knew research from police files, court transcripts, and exhaustive genealogical studies.

Haley reconstructs the lives of the women, the Blackout Ripper, brutally attacked and murdered.

These were women who were dismissed for choosing independent lives in the city and who were

already in peril due to the war.

In the preview you're about to hear, Greta Hayward finds herself walking through the Blackout

city with a lured and menacing airman who just won't leave her alone.

And with each step her panic rises, will she ever reach safety?

Here's the clip I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

You can hear more from bad women, the Blackout Ripper, wherever you get podcasts.

You're alone on a city street.

The darkness is total.
