This week on What Do You Know About...? Kat tells Ash all about the famous female pirate Anne Bonny before Ash breaks Kat's soul with the tragic story of Bonnie Parker, the female half of the famous criminal duo Bonnie & Clyde. There are trigger warnings for around the 1 hr mark as Ash does share some of the details about the police ambush that kills the duo, a read out of the autopsy report on Bonnie Parker, and a short description of the souvenirs that people were taking from the car after the ambush.

As always, photos of primary sources can be found on our instagram at litstorypodcasts. We would love to hear from you all!
