Man, we just got so much to say in this episode! Arthur, who has returned to school, takes us through his class schedule in a short but entertaining Arthur's corner and then we dig down into Doctor Thomas Neill Cream...who did not invent Cream Soda, sadly, but instead was a doctor trained in Canada and England who poisoned several women, mostly sex workers and women who wanted abortions. He was married briefly but his wife died of consumption...or perhaps poison. We cover his arrest, his incarceration, his parole and his arrival in England where he continued his poisoning ways in this guy really CAN'T be Jack the Ripper episode of the Family Plot Podcast!
