As Erin Patterson faces court charged with their murders of three of her guests after a family lunch in country Victoria ended in tragedy, 9Podcasts, 9News and The Age invite audiences inside the case that has captured international attention.

The Mushroom Trial: Say Grace is led by 9News and The Age journalists Penelope Liersch and Erin Pearson, with the podcast taking listeners into the courtroom in real time.

Penelope and Erin previously teamed up for The Missing Campers Trial podcast and are again combining their expertise in crime and justice reporting with Penelope saying:

“This is a case that’s made headlines around the world. But what really happens in court is far more complex than a headline. We’re here to help listeners understand every step—from the evidence to the emotion in the room.”

Erin added:

“The prosecution will try to prove the accused had murderous intent. We’ll take people with us into the courtroom to understand how the justice system works when someone stands trial for murder.”

The first two episodes of The Mushroom Trial: Say Grace are available now with new episodes as the trial unfolds. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
