Why are more churches rediscovering and reciting the Nicene Creed? And what can the ancient articulation of Christian belief offer the church in these divided times? Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss the 1700th anniversary of the creed and its place in the modern church. The Bible is critical to our faith, but have we been taught to worship the Bible rather than the God of the Bible? Dave Ripper, the author of “Experiencing Scripture as a Disciple of Jesus,” explains how Dallas Willard engaged the Bible and how it can become a source of transformation, not just information. Also this week: What qualifies as anti-Christian behavior, an update on Afghan and Afrikaner refugees, and scientists discover auras are real.

In this premiere episode of Letter Rip, Zach dives into the 'From Hell' Letter written by Jack the Ripper. Here's some background on the infamous correspondence: On the night of October 15th, George Lusk—Chairman of the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee in London, a group of locals desperate to stop the brutal killings terrorizing their streets—received a letter that would go down as one of the most disturbing in criminal history. The writer claimed to be none other than Jack the Ripper. But this wasn't just another hoax or attention-seeking note. It came in a small box. Inside? Half a human kidney, preserved in wine. Many believe it belonged to Catherine Eddowes, the Ripper's fourth victim. According to the letter, the killer had already fried and eaten the other half. It was a message soaked in gore, mockery, and madness—and it brought the fear in Whitechapel to a whole new level. LETTER RIP LINKS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letterrippod/TikTok: https://bit.ly/43aDXfPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LetterRipPodNewsletter (DFL): https://therealzachwrites.substack.com/

We've probably all heard of Jack the Ripper, one of the most famous English unsolved mysteries. He was responsible for the murders of at least five women near Whitechapel in London's East End between August and November 1888. But do you know all the details?

In this episode, Aaron McIntire discusses various intriguing topics, starting with the alleged identification of Jack the Ripper through DNA evidence, leading to a humorous critique of the name 'Aaron' in the context of serial killers. The conversation then shifts to the contentious issue of transgender athletes in sports, particularly focusing on C.C. Telfer's case. Following this, Aaron critiques the cultural implications of Hooters as a restaurant chain, questioning its societal role. Finally, he humorously addresses the confusion surrounding prunes and dried plums, dubbing it a 'national crisis.'

Jack the Ripper killed 5 women in 1888 and was never caught and became the most famous serial killer of all time. Jimmy Akin and Dom Bettinelli discuss the potential suspects and then Jimmy reveals who he thinks the evidence most strongly points toward.

A few episodes back we talked about the unsolved case of Jeannette DePalma who is thought to have possibly been a victim of the man we cover today, Richard Cottingham aka The Torso Killer aka The Times Square Ripper.

It's Tony's birthday and we're celebrating with THE RIPPER, a movie Tom Savini would give just about anything to forget. What does Jack the Ripper have to do with birthdays? Well, nothing. Seems like there are so few horror movies focused on celebrating one's special day and we were sure as hell not taking the endurance test that is getting through all 110 minutes of HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. Instead, we've decided to watch London's most famous serial killer slice and dice his way through…Tulsa, Oklahoma. Don't ask.

fWotD Episode 2908: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1887 play) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 21 April 2025, is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1887 play).Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a four-act play written by Thomas Russell Sullivan in collaboration with the actor Richard Mansfield. It is an adaptation of Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, an 1886 novella by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. The story focuses on the respected London doctor Henry Jekyll and his involvement with Edward Hyde, a loathsome criminal. After Hyde murders the father of Jekyll's fiancée, Jekyll's friends discover that Jekyll and Hyde are the same person; Jekyll has developed a potion that allows him to transform himself into Hyde and back again. When he runs out of the potion, he is trapped as Hyde and commits suicide before he can be arrested.After reading the novella, Mansfield was intrigued by the opportunity to play a dual role. He secured the right to adapt the story for the stage in the United States and the United Kingdom, and asked Sullivan to write the adaptation. The play debuted in Boston in May 1887, and a revised version opened on Broadway in September of that year. Critics acclaimed Mansfield's performance as the dual character. The play was popular in New York and on tour, and Mansfield was invited to bring it to London. It opened there in August 1888, just before the first Jack the Ripper murders. Some press reports compared the murderer to the Jekyll–Hyde character, and Mansfield was suggested as a possible suspect. Despite significant press coverage, the London production was a financial failure. Mansfield's company continued to perform the play on tours of the U. S. until shortly before his death in 1907.In writing the stage adaptation, Sullivan made several changes to the story; these included creating a fiancée for Jekyll and a stronger moral contrast between Jekyll and Hyde. The changes have been adopted by many subsequent adaptations, including several film versions of the story which were derived from the play. The films included a 1912 adaptation directed by Lucius Henderson, a 1920 adaptation directed by John S. Robertson, and a 1931 adaptation directed by Rouben Mamoulian, which earned Fredric March an Academy Award for Best Actor. A 1941 adaptation, directed by Victor Fleming, was a remake of the 1931 film.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:50 UTC on Monday, 21 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1887 play) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ruth.

It sounded like the crazed thoughts of a madman at the time. But now, thirty years later, it does not seem so absurd. (Bob Lazar, The Pentagon, And UFOs) *** One of our Weirdo family members tells the true story of a young child told not to be sad when her grandfather passes away… before anyone knew he had died. (The Old Woman In The Basement) *** Some very strange things have been taking place in Sedona Arizona – including ghosts, UFOs, and even people supposedly seeing living dinosaurs. (Strangeness at the Bradshaw Ranch) *** Is it possible that the reason Jack The Ripper was never caught, is because he was only visiting London at the time and then returned to his home in Missouri, USA? (Was Jack The Ripper From St. Louis?) ***

Gaslit streets, shadowy crimes, and killers who vanished without a trace — these haunting Victorian-era murders remain unsolved more than a century later.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version of #WeirdDarkness: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateDISCLAIMER: Ads heard during the podcast that are not in my voice are placed by third party agencies outside of my control and should not imply an endorsement by Weird Darkness or myself. *** Stories and content in Weird Darkness can be disturbing for some listeners and intended for mature audiences only. Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: The fog-shrouded streets of Victorian England – where gaslit alleys concealed dark secrets and justice often remained elusive. From the gruesome "Shakespeare" murder that had London wondering if Jack the Ripper had crossed the Atlantic, to dismembered bodies scattered along the Thames, to high society poisonings that scandalized the nation, the Boxing Day slaughter of the Murphy siblings, the Christmas Eve killing of actress Harriet Buswell, the strange death of Charles Bravo that exposed a scandalous love triangle, and more. In an era of rudimentary forensics and primitive police work, these murderers vanished into history, leaving behind only questions and theories. These crimes from the 1800s remain unsolved today – just as they were over a century ago.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Disclaimer and East River Shadows” (Short Story Lead-In)00:07:15.256 = Show Open00:10:36.687 = THE GRUESOME MURDER OF SHAKESPEARE: Jack The Ripper In America?, Part 100:25:14.532 = THE GRUESOME MURDER OF SHAKESPEARE: Jack The Ripper In America?, Part 200:39:17.189 = THE GRUESOME MURDER OF SHAKESPEARE: Jack The Ripper In America?, Part 300:50:37.114 = THE THAMES TORSO MURDERS: Victorian London's Forgotten Serial Killer01:13:31.020 = THE BALHAM MYSTERY: The Inexplicable Poisoning of Charles Bravo01:35:48.075 = BLOOD ON BOXING DAY: The Gatton Murders01:47:56.775 = THE STRANGE AFFAIR OF MADELEINE SMITH; Love, Poison, and Mystery02:01:50.405 = BRADFORD BUTCHERY: The Tragic Case of John Gill02:19:09.778 = THE GRIMWOOD MURDER: The Real-Life Crime Behind Oliver Twist's Darkest Scene02:34:00.843 = CHRISTMAS MURDER OF A FORGOTTEN ACTRESS: The Case of Harriet Busman02:49:39.560 = THE PIMLICO POISONINGS: Marriage, Minister, Murder, and Mystery02:59:58.344 = Show Close, Verse, and Final ThoughtSOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…(Includes list of sources): https://weirddarkness.com/UnsolvedVictorian BOOK: “Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper — Case Closed" (2002) by Patricia Cornwell: https://amzn.to/3Y51BslBOOK: "Chasing the Ripper" (2014) by Patricia Cornwell: https://amzn.to/3GaZuNs

This week we go from Edinburgh, Scotland to Nashville, Tennessee, in the company of crime author Tariq Ashkanani.   Tariq's The Midnight King is a tricky, quasi-metafictional murder mystery about cursed manuscripts, familial secrets and the most heinous murders. It's also a love letter to the kind of occult-tinged American crime epics that both he and I grew up loving.   We talk about the challenge of writing about serial killing without exploitation, about the unstable boundary between crime and horror fiction, about the allure of Hannibal Lecter and the pressure of a good twist.   But mostly we just pay homage to the messy, bloodsoaked myth of America that inspired us so much over the years.   Enjoy!   Other books mentioned:   Welcome to Cooper (2021), by Tariq Ashkanani Red Dragon (1981), by Thomas Harris Galveston (2010), by Nic Pizzolatto The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper (2019), by Hallie Rubenhold The Devil All the Time (2011), by Donald Ray Pollock Uzumaki (2000), by Junji Ito Support Talking Scared on Patreon   Check out the Talking Scared Merch line – at VoidMerch   Come talk books on Bluesky @talkscaredpod.bsky.social  on Instagram/Threads, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textLast week, we toured the haunted streets of London's Whitechapel district and explored the hunting grounds of the world's most mysterious serial killer - Jack the Ripper. Since 1888, his identity has remained a mystery, with authors and self-proclaimed "Ripperologists" claiming they have all the answers. This week, we'll dig in to theories old and new and highlight the most compelling and the most ridiculous. New DNA evidence claims to have answered this mystery once and for all, but will we ever know who the Ripper really was? And do we really want to? Happy Haunting! Get in touch!

Some cases remain terrifying because we never find the answers — others because we do.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version of #WeirdDarkness: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: We all love a good mystery – especially if we discover the answer at the end. But even more intriguing are those mysteries that, after years, or decades, still remain unsolved. We'll look at some of the most famous – and most infamous of those unsolved mysteries. Plus, unsolved mysteries are fascinating… we want to know who was D.B. Cooper, and what happened to him. Who committed the Black Dahlia murder? Who was Jack the Ripper? But sometimes those unsolved mysteries get solved… and sometimes, the solving of the mystery makes them that much more unsettling.SOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Jazz Axeman of New Orleans” episode: https://weirddarkness.com/?s=axeman+of+new+orleans“Why We Love Mysteries” by Christina Hoag for Medium: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/mvbm5auk“Disturbing Unsolved Mysteries” by Maryn Liles for Parade: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2wvc2yf6“Previously Unsolved Mysteries That Are Still Disturbing” by Will Morgan for Weird History:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yw5rc5mp=====(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Historian Hallie Rubenhold's non-fiction book The Five found the stories of the victims of Jack the Ripper underneath a whole pile of misogyny and myth-making. She's about to do the same for the women at the centre of the Crippen murder, with her book Story of a Murder: The Wives, the Mistress and Dr Crippen. Hallie chats to Hannah about the wrongs done to Belle Elmore, by both her husband and history, and why most true crime sucks.

It's Sarah's birthday party, and we are happy to celebrate this amazing woman! She is talking about her reality tv obsession, Love is Blind, and why the show feels ethical while also shocking enough to make great tv. We hear how the Jack the Ripper serial murder case has finally been solved over 100 years after it happened, and why the detectives got so close, but never finished the job until now. We discuss a dilemma in the Czech Republic that required a dam being built to handle a waterway issue, but despite years of red tape and bureaucratic delays the problem was solved by an unlikely hero. And we learn how Russia is employing the world's oldest profession to solve political issues, and Susie feels like she missed her calling to be a spy.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Get 25% off your first month at https://ritual.com/braincandyGet 20% OFF by going to https://www.honeylove.com/braincandy! #honeylovepodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
