It’s 1963, and famous communist slash journalist slash British ex-pat slash all-around badass Jessica Mitford discovers the American public is being absolutely swindled by the American funerary system. So what’s she going to do about it? She’s going to write an expose called The American Way of Death, and then she’s going to watch patiently as panicked funeral directors and morticians accuse her of being a communist and therefore not worthy of having opinions or something. And after that, she’s going to do the funniest thing possible: she’s going to die and spend almost nothing on her own funeral.

Also, Hitler (yeah, that one) is in this episode in a bunch of ways you could not expect, which is our version of the worst surprise party ever.

Happy Pride Month!

On the back door of the flat, chalk graffiti says “JACK RIPPER IS AT THE BACK OF THIS DOOR” and no one is mentioning that at all in the police headquarters. Join Nash and Angel as they try to parse out the most confusingly planned crime of the century, and decide for yourself whether Jack the Ripper abandoned cheery old East End London for small-town Scotland to murder his own wife.

Okay, if he were Jack the Ripper, though, wouldn’t it have been easier to murder her in Whitechapel and frame the notorious serial killer? Even if he was Jack the Ripper?? But if he wasn’t Jack the Ripper, then why did he basically admit he was?? This, this right here - exactly why we hate true crime.

It’s true crime o’clock, and in today’s episode, Angel and Nash find themselves in Scotland, in a basement flat, with the body of a woman in a trunk. She definitely didn’t put herself there, and the guy that did is currently at the Dundee Police Station telling them he didn’t kill her, but he did shove her in there five days ago, and maybe he’s also admitting to being Jack the Ripper? Join the team as they try to parse out maybe the stupidest, maybe the smartest crime of the century in the first part of a chaotic story. This venn diagram is a circle!
