History is full of stories we think we know. They are old and dark, but time has robbed us of perspective and clarity. They've become obscured and misunderstood. Which is why this series exists: to dig deep and shed light on some of history’s darkest moments. To help us better understand where we’ve come from. To make it Unobscured. Each season pairs narrative storytelling from Aaron Mahnke, creator of the hit podcast Lore, with prominent historian interviews. Season Three: Jack the Ripper

Never Done
Cases were closed and the files were sealed. Investigators went back to careers scattered across the British empire. It would be decades before their conclusions would shed light on London's dark Autumn of Terror. It would be almost one hundred years before what they knew offered answers.

Customer Reviews
Great Histories
As with all of Aaron Mahnke's podcasts, he does a great job with this one, telling fascinating, less-well-known histories.
Annoying
You really. Need to learn. How. To. Speak. Nothing like. Random pauses…. Please do the research and let someone else do the speaking.
Unlike any other history podcast
Absolutely love! It’s amazing how they tell the “stranger” aspects of history interwoven with such important aspects like the anti-slavery movement & how modern policing began.
Besides that, it’s fantastic storytelling all on its own!
