Paul Begg.jpgPaul Begg has a career background in newspapers and publishing as well as being a freelance writer, as he says, "For far more years than I care to think about." He is interested in historical mysteries and has written books about mysterious disappearances, the Mary Celeste, a history of the C.I.D. at Scotland Yard, and several books examining different aspects of the Jack the Ripper case.

Paul says that he is lucky enough to live in a small village in the foothills of Snowdonia, Wales.

His books include: "Jack the Ripper: The Definitive History," "Jack the Ripper: The Forgotten Victims," "Jack the Ripper: CSI: Whitechapel," and "Mary Celeste-The Greatest Mystery of the Sea."

Brian co-hosts the Transatlantic History Ramblings podcast along with Lauren Davies, heard on Spotify and other streaming platforms. His book is "The Wrestlers’ Wrestlers: The Masters of the Craft of Professional Wrestling."

Our cohost will be Tim Swartz.

I learned a lot about Jack the Ripper on this episode and I've also keyed up some articles and videos I found about the Mary Celeste as I was unfamiliar with that occurrence.

The only experience I really have with Jack the Ripper is the film From Hell, which I always assumed was mostly fiction. However, I did enjoy the film and have always been interested in some other serial killers who were never caught (most notably, the Zodiac killer).
