My favorite of the mushroom case podcasts

I listen to three podcasts about the Patterson trial and this is the one I like most. I love the Q & A at the end of many episodes. Keep up the good work

Great in-depth coverage of the case!

Thank you so much for your coverage of this case. I've found it incredibly interesting and really appreciate getting the updates from the courtroom. I'm following along here from Highland, Maryland. A special shout out to my twin sister, Priya, in Sydney, who actually brought this case to my attention. She's following it closely as well! Also, please extend my warmest wishes to Kristian and his wife as they prepare for the arrival of their new baby.

Totally Gripping!

I’m not really a trials or crime junkie, but somehow I got sucked into this story and love the daily podcast. The hosts do a great job explaining the legal implications of what they can and can’t discuss, and I can’t wait till the trial is over to hear what everyone really thinks!

Stocky and Christian are champignon’s

Really enjoying the daily breakdowns of this case. A good balance of summarising the daily court proceedings, explanations of legal proceedings, answering listener questions, and a healthy dose of banter to keep things from getting too heavy. Keep up the good work team.

Great Listen….As it happens!

This pod is amazing. Unlike most true crime listens I’ve heard, this one is a little different in that it’s a daily recap. I am following it in the Sydney Morning Herald and on the ABC, but this audio medium takes it a level further. The guys are great at describing everything in just the right amount of detail: leaving my imagination to run wild. A true gem of a podcast!
