We're taking a break from our election coverage today to update you on another event you’ve probably been hearing a lot about in the headlines: the mushroom murder trial.

In case you missed it, the murder trial of a woman accused of killing three people by serving them poisonous mushrooms is underway in Victoria’s Supreme Court.

Erin Patterson was charged with murder after three people died following a meal at her home in July 2023.

She pleaded not guilty and so now, we are in the middle of a six-week trial. On today’s podcast, we’re getting you up to speed with the details of this case.
