Rippercast Episode 60- Current Events and the Conference in Salisbury

[jmenges]

Hey serya and Monty,

Thanks for the kind words.

I'll of course retreat to my time honored...If it were not for all of those many people who know a hell of a lot more about the case than I do agreeing to spend their free time discussing it on the record, there would never have been a podcast. I do my best to present them, but the real stars of show are the guests.

Unless Ally is on, and then she is the star.



All the best.

You won't remember her, I think she retired. Her credibility took a nosedive when people thought she agreed with the conclusions in Tim Prescott's book.

This site needs a "LMAO" button.

It was nice to get such a glowing compliment from Trevor Bond in this episode.

I've also always enjoyed your excellent selfless hosting, Jonathan. You do a great job of staying out of the way of a good discussion while instinctively knowing when to clarify topics as they arise during the twists and turns of the roundtable chats. You seem to know exactly the right time to step in with the quick historical context or summary so us non-experts do not lose the thread and become lost while listening.

I second that. Jon has an amazing instinct on when to interject, and when to let it flow, and coupled with his fairly wide knowledge on the true crime genre, is able to, as you say Serya, put discussions into context.

I think the balance of Jons abilities, and Allys astuteness, along with the quality of guest, gives the Podcasts a unique feel and makes them extremely valuable to the field.

Thanks for the compliment, Serya. They're fun and informative for me, too.

I was thrilled to see new Rippercasts up after a long hiatus. I've listened to them all and really appreciate the thoughtful discussion along with the good humor. It is great to connect the names to the personalities. Thanks everyone!

One of my favourite Rippercasts is Ep 51 - The Blind Man's Bluff. There's a moment where Ally & Martin Fido just start chuckling their heads off, I assume to something typed over Skype, and Jonathan's all 'wtf?'

Great podcast guys - I enjoyed it and thanks for the kind words.

Just to clarify, my surname does seem to be an awkward one for people to pronounce but you were correct Ally (and I think Mark?) it is pronounced as 'eye anson' a little pause, not all together like Ianson.

Not sure why we have the apostrophe, it is something I would want to look into more indepth but never managed to do so yet.

You misspelled "Debra." Watch it.

No I didn't. I'm referring to Covell and I have the correct spelling.

Yours truly,

Tim Prescott

Shame you've gotten yourself involved with such projects, Deborah.

You misspelled "Debra." Watch it.

Mentioning the Lifetime Achievement Award, it was very well deserved, but congrats to WS1888 for producing such a handsome award.

And the REAL charitable contributions that the WS have been involved with.

Classic!

Love ya Debs and your love for historical research that we all benefit from.
