Hello dear listeners, and welcome back to another episode of The ODDentity Podcast on the PodMoth Media Network, your weekly foray into the weird, wonky, and sometimes downright spooky.

After completing the research on Jack the Ripper last week, I came to the realization that this topic is so large that it actually needs a part 3. So, this week I’ll tackle the last 2 canonical Ripper victims and also discuss the top 5 suspects for Jack the Ripper as well as take a look at more recent suspicions of who the Ripper may have been. I was going to incorporate all of the remaining information into a second episode but felt that the victims of Jack the Ripper deserved the extra airtime. If you’ve not yet listened to part 1 or part 2 of the Jack the Ripper series, please do so before listening to part 3.

I’ve been podcasting since 2017 and I thought it was about time I created some merch. I know, I know, it’s way past due. Merch is now available at Shop.spreadshirt.com/oddpodmerch. There are a few to choose from and I think you’ll like them. There are also lots of options from mousepads and buttons to tees and hats. From now until September 25th, all orders are 15% off! Show off your weird side and support your favorite podcast!

Before we proceed further, please note that the information in this episode may be distressing to some listeners. Listener discretion is advised.

The podcast is written, produced, and edited by Janine Mercer (unless otherwise stated), and the music is provided by Garage Band.
