YOO-WHO! WE’RE BAAAAACCCCCKKKKK!!

Welcome, cousins, to SEASON 3, of Oklahoma’s kookiest and spookiest podcast! 

Blame it all on our roots…Jess is starting this season with an outlaw episode!

Marlow, Ok, derives its name from the Marlow family, particularly the notorious Marlow brothers who became infamous after the town's establishment. Located in the northwestern quarter of Stephens County, Marlow is situated near major highways and the historic Chisholm Trail. The story of the Marlow family begins with Dr. Williamson Marlow, who, after a series of personal tragedies, became a wandering physician. He and his family settled in the area during the 1880s, where they engaged in farming and trading, eventually becoming embroiled in conflicts that led to their notoriety.

The saga of the Marlow brothers escalated when Boone Marlow shot a cowboy in self-defense, prompting a series of legal troubles that culminated in a mob ambush. In a dramatic confrontation, Boone and his brothers defended themselves against a vigilante mob, resulting in casualties on both sides. Despite being wrongfully accused of horse theft and murder charges, the brothers eventually escaped and sought refuge in Colorado, where they were embraced by the community. The tale of the Marlow brothers, marked by bravery and resilience, has been immortalized in popular culture, including the film "The Sons of Katie Elder," showcasing their legendary status in American history.

 We are kicking this season off with a BANG! Join us all season long as we continue to cover all things kooky and spooky in the state of Oklahoma!
