Published: Jan. 5, 2023, 1 a.m.

America's most notorious outlaws, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, first bonded over a cup of condensed milk hot chocolate on 5th January, 1930.\nThe couple went on to traverse the States on a shooting spree, committing up to thirteen murders, before being ambushed and gunned down in Louisiana four years into their relationship.\nIn this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how Barrow\u2019s descent into criminality began with the most unlikely of offences; explain how the pair\u2019s devotion to their families in Texas proved part of their undoing; and recall how their stolen Ford V8, \u2018The Death Car\u2019, spent 40 years as a travelling tourist attraction\u2026\xa0\nFurther Reading:\n\u2022 \u2018Biography of Bonnie and Clyde, Depression-Era Outlaws\u2019 (ThoughtCo, 2020): https://www.thoughtco.com/bonnie-and-clyde-1779278\n\u2022 \u2018Oddball Texas - A Guide to Some Really Strange Places,\nBy Jerome Pohlen\u2019 (Chicago Review Press, 2006):\xa0\nhttps://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Oddball_Texas/EPJ_0i9zNS8C?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=5th+january+1930+bonnie+clyde&pg=PA77&printsec=frontcover\n\u2022 \u2018Bonnie and Clyde\u2019 (Warner Bros, 1967): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhqRFP0535k\n#30s #Crime #US\nLove the show?
