Erin Patterson - The Mushroom Murderer Artwork

Mums Mysteries & Murder

We're two Mums living in Edinburgh who are obsessed with true crime and mysterious happenings, so obsessed we decided to start a podcast! Each month we take turns to tell stories from our homelands - Effie Scottish born and bred where haggis is NOT actually an animal and Marti from the land down under where no prawns have ever been thrown on a barbie, it needs to be said! So, if you want polished, professional true crime then this is not for you, maybe try Casefile. But if you love true crime and mystery like us & you can't stop talking about it, give us a listen! Its not big or clever but it is entertaining.

We are covering the most recent Australian true crime story that has shocked Australia and apparently the world! Though we hadn't heard of it until it hit ITV news and it only happened in July of this year and sort of "wrapped up" on November 3rd so its almost too new!

The sad story of Erin Patterson dubbed "the mushroom murderer" who poisoned her family with a lethal beef wellington.

We also talk about our current favourite podcast listens, Halloween, and lots and lots of chat about mushrooms!

We recorded this one on Zoom so it's a little bit glitchy this month, but huge big up to our amazing pod editor Erin for the super quick turnaround on this ep.
