Nick and Angela welcome a performer whose surreal comedy has made him one of Britain's most distinctive voices. Mawaan Rizwan's career has been anything but ordinary, taking him from clown school to the Edinburgh Fringe. He created and stars in the surreal BBC comedy Juice, which earned him a BAFTA, and now he joins Nick and Angela to talk about the show's new series. Mawaan likes a vermouth cocktail (when he's feeling fancy), so Nick pours a Sharp Dresser to start.  Mawaan is also a big fan of ramen, so Angela serves a pork and mushroom tantanmen, topped with jammy eggs and spring onions. The dish is paired with a glass of The Dry Dam Riesling, whose acidity and creamy notes balance the richness of the broth. The conversation reflects Mawaan's playful spirit, touching on his passion for Beef Wellington, the time he sculpted Paul Hollywood's cheekbones in brandy snap, and even the unlikely showbiz “beef” he's nursing with Ellie Goulding. He also lets Angela in on his burrata hack for levelling up instant noodles.

Part Two: Inside Keep Keli Lane Behind Bars, Erin Patterson appeared to demonstrate some traits common amongst convicted poisoners. For a start, the self-obsession and the manipulation.But the Erin Patterson we thought we knew and the Erin Patterson who stood trial for murder seemed like two entirely different people. On one hand, she was a key figure in our true crime group, someone who shared our passion for seeking the truth. Inside The Supreme Court of Victoria, Erin could be seen on video, sitting back in her government-issued chair and treating everyone in the pre-trial hearings as disposable.Yes, this was a criminal case, and I know she needed to throw everything she had at it, but just like in the original true crime group, Erin was creating drama and trying to pitt people against each other. In 2019, we crossed paths in a Facebook true crime group while investigating the Kelly Lane child killer case. Back then, Erin seemed like just another mum fascinated by crime. Today, she is convicted of murder and attempted murder after serving a fatal Beef Wellington laced with death cap mushrooms at a family lunch in Leongatha.This podcast takes you behind the headlines and into the online world where Erin thrived. From hidden Facebook identities to fractured friendships, from her obsession with serial killers like Ivan Milat to her role in amateur sleuth groups, we uncover the digital breadcrumbs that foreshadowed her descent into darkness.Through court reporting, personal insights, and analysis of social media crime culture, you'll hear how a seemingly ordinary woman's obsession blurred into real life — with deadly consequences.

Ask Flora Funga Podcast anything OR Leave a ReviewTrue Crime meets Flora Funga Podcast...In this episode, we dive into the chilling real-life case of Erin Patterson, who was convicted in 2025 for murdering three of her in-laws by intentionally serving them Death Cap‑laced Beef Wellington in July 2023. Despite her claims that the deadly fungi were included by accident—due to cross-contamination with foraged mushrooms—the court found she deliberately poisoned her estranged husband's parents and aunt while a fourth guest survived. Serving individual portions, lying about her own illness, and panicking enough to hide evidence, Patterson now faces life in prison. This eerie blend of culinary trust broken by one of nature's most lethal mushrooms makes for a gripping—and disturbing—episode. All resources on florafungapodcast.com/177Wear FFP merch to support the show and impress your friends & familySupport the showGoFundME ITS FINALLY LIVE!
