This is exactly right.

This story contains adult content and language.

Listener discretion is advised. Fundamentally the story is about a murder that kick-started the communication

revolution and it involves someone who was a Quaker and I can't think of another

Quaker involved in a high-profile murder. There simply weren't those sort of

people in their history. Sure there might have been some very, very minor criminals and they were

probably people born into Quakerism who were there purely because of birthright, not because

of any personal desire to become a Quaker.

Right. But John Taw was the opposite. His desire was to become a Quaker, but he had this aspect of his personality,

and it's one of the reasons why he's such a fascinating character.

If he had just to be in your average crook there would have been no story in it.

This is the story of a man who essentially was unmasked by his mask.

And that makes it fascinating in itself. I'm Kate Winkler Dawson, a crime historian, and the author of the book All That Is Wicked,

and the audio book The Ghost Club.

And this is our new season of Tenfold More Wicked.

For this season we're leaving New Orleans and the United States and heading over to England. this is the story of a man who used his

religion to cloak his sinister side and the two women in his life who both

suffered because of it.

It's also about a brand new machine that helped close a murder case.

We call this season the Wolf Among Us. There you are.

Hello.

Grand-Mors are waiting for the other end and I said you must be another exit.
