Episode 86: The Notorious Ma Barker
is now available.
In this episode, we dive into the wild tale of Ma Barker and her gang of "little shit boys"—a family bonding experience that involved less baking cookies and more robbing banks.
Was Ma really the criminal mastermind the FBI made her out to be, or just a mother who took the phrase ride or die way too literally?
From bank robbing to kidnapping to an epic FBI shootout, we unravel the myths, the mayhem, and the questionable parenting choices that made the Barker gang one of the most infamous crime families of the Depression era.
Buckle up—this is one gangster family story you dont want to miss!
