Dear Boss: The Paranoid Style Podcast is BACK! And this week we're discussing one of the most infamous serial killings in history, the strange and horrible case of Jack the Ripper. We're a little Sherlock Holmes, a little Criminal Minds, and a whole lotta confused about the internal organs of the human body. But we won't let our bewilderment stop us from dipping a toe into the tuberculosis ridden waters of Ripperology! From the East End to the unsavor-iest parts of the East End. From four penny roach hotels to two penny hang overs. From Leather Aprons to Witch Babies (don't ask.) Find out if the Ripper is actually a baboon (spoiler alert, they aren't.) Ha Ha! Also, it's a two parter and The Paranoid Style is moving to bi-monthly releases to bring you the quality you expect from us. Ho Ho!
