Hello friends, on this episode Nate tells us the story of the Barker-Karpis gang. Some of their crimes that led to the notoriety and eventual downfall. The bit of controversy surrounding Ma Barker, and of course how an alligator named Joe helped in the process.

Hello and welcome to our first official episode. This episode is about the murder of Hazel Drew, it took place less than a half an hour from where I grew up and I never heard of it until a few years ago. It's an interesting case and helped to inspire one of the best TV shows of all time.

Also we said the wrong twitter lol, sorry about that, we'll have it correct in the next cast. I forgot Twitter truncates the names, so our Twitter name is @ArcanumObscura

Welcome to our podcast, Arcanum Obscura: a podcast of exploration, this is our intro episode just giving some info on ourselves and going into what got us into looking into the weird. The following episodes will be actual stories we want to discuss. We hope you enjoy the cast!
