Hey listeners, Reed here.

As we do from time to time we're changing things up today and bringing you a preview of

another true crime podcast we think you'll enjoy.

The show is called Bad Women.

In a gripping first season, historian Halley Rubenhold uncovered the true stories of Jack

the Ripper's victims.

And now, she's back with a new season, exploring the lives of women murdered by another depraved

killer, the Blackout Ripper.

Halley takes listeners back to wartime London, where buildings have been devastated by a

rain of bombs, and where the streets have been plunged into darkness.

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

for his victims night after night in bars and clubs.

Using new research from police files, court transcripts, and exhaustive genealogical studies,

Halley reconstructs the lives of the women the Blackout Ripper brutally attacked and killed.

These were women who were dismissed as asking for trouble 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 lewd and menacing airman who just won't leave her alone, and with each step

her panic rises, will she ever reach safety?

Okay, here's the clip from the show.

When you're done listening, you can hear more from bad women, the Blackout Ripper, wherever

you get podcasts.
