We are covering the most recent Australian true crime story that has shocked Australia and apparently the world! Though we hadn't heard of it until it hit ITV news and it only happened in July of this year and sort of "wrapped up" on November 3rd so its almost too new! The sad story of Erin Patterson dubbed "the mushroom murderer" who poisoned her family with a lethal beef wellington. We also talk about our current favourite podcast listens, Halloween,  and lots and lots of chat about mushrooms! We recorded this one on Zoom so it's a little bit glitchy this month, but huge big up to our amazing pod editor Erin for the super quick turnaround on this ep.
