It's the criminal trial that has launched a wave of new daily podcasts and dominated headlines for months. But what's driving the media's obsession with Erin Patterson and the mushroom deaths, and is there a downside to the amount of energy news outlets are spending on true crime?
Scott and Os decided to listen to every single daily mushroom trial podcast to help inform the discussion, and they decided to rank them all in terms of listenability and quality of reporting.
In the Keeping Tabs segment this week we trace the career of Australian journalist Erin Molan, from sports reporter to right-wing, pro-Israel, Elon Musk backed influencer, and look at how Australian media outlets published a series of confusing and conflicting reports on a massacre at an aid site in gaza.
Plus, the mail bag is finally here! Os and Scott answer listener questions.
