Two old friends revisit the echoes of food poisoning scandals, as we prepare to tackle the complexities of the Erin Patterson trial, a story that's captured Australia's undivided attention.

We draw parallels to our own journalistic journeys, recalling the delicate balance needed to report on events that cut deep into the fabric of real lives.

The conversation promises a glimpse into the inner workings of sensitive storytelling, reminding us all that behind every headline lies a human truth waiting to be told with care and respect.

Shifting gears, we explore the curious phenomenon of mushroom shakes, a trend sprouting in popularity from the shores of Bali to celebrity endorsements.

But amid the intrigue, we serve up a cautionary tale about the perils of foraging and home cultivation.
