Episode notes

It’s the early 1930s. In Dallas, Texas, under the Trinity River viaduct - life is hard. They call it the Devil’s Back Porch. Amongst the tents and wagons, the dispossessed scrap it out for survival. Here, kids grow up mean. So it’s no surprise when young Clyde Barrow strays into a life of crime. In a few short years his run-ins with the law will transform him into a hardened killer. 

But it won’t be until he meets the love of his life that he’ll step into the national spotlight. Bonnie Parker - Muse. Poet. Outlaw. 

This is the story of Bonnie and Clyde. 

A Noiser production, written by Danny Marshall, with thanks to Paul Schneider, journalist and author of Bonnie and Clyde – The Lives Behind The Legend.

This is Part 1 of 3.
