Bonus Episode 1: The Lincoln-Kennedy Coincidences (Jonathan Knight) Drop Date March 27, 2026

Episode Title: The Lincoln-Kennedy Coincidences (with Jonathan Knight)

Episode Summary:

What do Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy really have in common—beyond the eerie “coincidences” we’ve heard since childhood? In this episode of Just One More Question, Marc and Aleks sit down with author Jonathan Knight to explore one of America’s most enduring historical curiosities: the parallels between the assassinations of two of the nation’s most iconic presidents. Knight’s witty and well-researched book unpacks a long list of often-repeated claims—like both presidents having successors named Johnson, being elected 100 years apart, and being assassinated on a Friday—separating historical fact from folklore. Blending solid scholarship with a touch of humor, Knight walks us through the real stories behind these strange patterns and invites us to consider why these connections still fascinate generations of readers and armchair historians.

Key Points:

• A breakdown of the most famous Lincoln-Kennedy “coincidences”
• How folklore and historical fact have become intertwined
• Exploration of the so-called “Curse of the Presidency”
• The cultural and psychological reasons we crave patterns in history
• Knight’s take on why these stories endure—and what they reveal about the American imagination

Episode Title: Jack the Ripper: Part 2 (With Authors Jonathan and Christine Hainsworth)

Episode Summary:

In Part 2 of our Jack the Ripper series, hosts Marc Veazey and Aleks Litts continue the investigation into the 1888 Whitechapel murders—revisiting the victims, the escalating brutality, and the social conditions that made the East End both vulnerable and volatile.

Authors Jonathan and Christine Hainsworth (Christine Ward-Agius) present their case in a compelling, lecture-style deep dive, arguing that the Ripper’s identity was effectively known in the Edwardian era—then gradually forgotten. They discuss why Montague John Druitt remains central to their theory, how police leadership may have deliberately obscured key details, and how shifting narratives helped turn a “known” suspect into an enduring mystery.

Guest:

• Jonathan Hainsworth
• Christine Hainsworth (Christine Ward-Agius)

Key Points:

• The East End in 1888: Why Whitechapel and Spitalfields were uniquely vulnerable—poverty, crowding, and limited options for women living hand-to-mouth.
• The Canonical Victims: Continued focus on Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly.
• Pattern of Violence: Strangulation followed by post-mortem mutilation, and why Mary Jane Kelly’s indoor murder marks a grim escalation.
• The Edwardian “Solution”: How early 20th-century writers and insiders reportedly treated the case as essentially solved—without naming names publicly.
• MacNaughton’s Role: Claims that senior police official Melville McNaughton withheld or altered details to protect Druitt’s family and prevent identification.
• How the Answer Was “Lost”: Why the 1920s ushered in a new era of speculation—creating a fresh suspect culture and renewed uncertainty.
• Druitt Revisited: Why the Hainsworths argue Druitt remains the strongest suspect despite later skepticism.
• Motive Theory: The provocative idea that the crimes were intended to force public attention onto East End poverty—terror as a political message.

Episode Title: Jack the Ripper: Part 1 (With Authors Jonathan and Christine Hainsworth)

Episode Summary:

In the autumn of 1888, a series of brutal murders in London’s impoverished East End gave rise to one of history’s most enduring mysteries: Jack the Ripper. The five victims—destitute women killed between August and November—lived on society’s margins, and their deaths exposed the stark realities of Victorian poverty. In this episode of Just One More Question, we’re joined by Jonathan and Christine Hainsworth, authors of The Escape of Jack the Ripper: The Truth About the Cover-Up and His Flight from Justice and Jack the Ripper – Case Solved, 1891. They argue the case was effectively solved more than a century ago and present evidence pointing to Montague Druitt, a 31-year-old barrister found drowned in the Thames just weeks after the final murder. We explore the canonical victims, the timeline and pattern of violence, and claims of an Edwardian-era cover-up that allegedly obscured Druitt’s identity to protect his family. Was the truth deliberately buried? And if so, why was it forgotten?
