Londonist Out Loud is presented and produced by N Quentin Woolf. This week’s show comes from the Foundling Museum in Bloomsbury, which currently includes an exhibition about Charles Dickens.
- Peter Stubley: author of a new book about the other murders that happened in 1888, the year of Jack of the Ripper
- Chris West: Charles Dickens impersonator and organiser of Dickens Day for Great Ormond Street Hospital
The guests discuss their own projects, including the Londons of Charles Dickens and Jack the Ripper. Caro Howell, Director of the Foundling Museum, takes NQW for a tour of the museum’s latest exhibition on Charles Dickens' links to the Foundling Hospital.
