Greetings friends! It’s Ginni comin’ at ya with the hottest pods of the week! Ok, let’s calm it down a bit, folks…today, we’re heading to history class.But don’t worry…it’s one of those rare and interesting days in class.I decided to take a peek into what the world was listening to last week in the history category. And, because I know all you true crime junkies just can’t seem to get enough, it’s probably no surprise who’s dominating the top history pod spot? Why, it’s none other than East London’s own Jack the Ripper…Pushkin’s Bad Women is a podcast series told by historian Hallie Rubenhold. Often portrayed as scandalous “ladies of the night”, it brings long-deserved dignity to the victims. The real lives of the women at the center of this century-spanning mystery have been historically dismissed, but this show brings them back to the center where they belong.  If you feel like you’re in a tug of war between true crime and dinner-table appropriate history-chat (well, I guess it depends on the dinner party…) then Bad Women might be the dish you’re looking for. I think I’ll just settle in here now with a spot of tea, a few biscuits, and my….my…wait, where are my earbuds?!?! Helllllllllllp!!!!
