About this listen

Before they became infamous, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were just two young people trying to survive in a broken system.

In Part I, we step back into the desperate world of 1930s Texas during the Great Depression...when poverty, failed banks, and harsh prison conditions helped isolate and radicalize a generation.

From Clyde Barrow’s early run-ins with the law, the brutal realities of the Texas prison system, to how resentment, violence, and survival began shaping his path.

When Bonnie meets Clyde, their connection is immediate...and dangerous.

This episode traces the origins of the Barrow Gang, the early robberies, and the moment their lives cross a line that can’t be uncrossed.

This is the story of how Bonnie and Clyde became Bonnie and Clyde.
