    130. The Tuskegee Syphilis Study

    The Tuskegee Syphilis Study has to be one of the most shocking and unethical medical experiments in United States history. What was perceived to be a harmless medical study turns in to a 40-year nightmare for hundreds of African American men in the South, This episode exposes the truth behind the US Public Health Service study that promised care but instead delivered deception, denying treatment even after a cure was discovered AND readily available.

    From the Vault - Mary Jane Kelly - The Ripper's Final Victim

    From the Vault - The fifth and final canonical victim of the serial killer known as Jack the Ripper...allegedly... was Mary Jane Kelly, a woman who was an enigma, with a hidden past that no-one could quite figure out.

    From the Vault - Catherine Eddowes - The Ripper's Fourth Victim

    From the Vault - With the news cycle circling a tenuous link to a Jewish immigrant in London, for absolutely no reason whatsoever, let's focus on what we do know of about the Whitechapel murderers, the victims. Their lives, their stories. Let's hear about Catherine Eddowes, the fourth canonical victim of Jack the Ripper.

    From the Vault - Annie Chapman - The Ripper's Second Victim

    From the Vault - The life of Annie Chapman, another weary woman in Whitechapel who suffered.

    129. Joshua N. Haldeman - Elon Musk's Apartheid-Loving Grandfather

    Some families have skeletons in the closet, others have an entire ossuary under the floorboards, most like to keep them quiet but the Musk family prefer to put them on display. Elon Musk's grandfather, Joshua Norman Haldeman was an apartheid-loving chiropractor, who was super into conspiracy theories and searching for a "long lost city" in his plane.

    128. The Brothers Kellogg

    Before Froot Loops, Special K and Rice Krispies, there was Dr John Harvey Kellogg, a devout Seventh Day Adventist whose only fears were meat-based germs, racial integration and syphilis, a man whose favourite pastimes were ensuring people had enough yoghurt shot into their arses and bullying his younger brother, William Keith Kellogg.

    126. Nellie Cashman - The Angel of Cassier

    Cork-born Nellie Cashman emigrated to America and went on to be a total badass, a female prospector, business-owner and genuinely good person. It's a tough time of year and so I decided that for the month of November that I'm going to focus on the fun, ridiculous or downright cool parts of history. Also fairly certain you were traumatised enough in October!
