However you get there, then you just press a button essentially and leave us a voicemail. And we have one from Liz in Perth. Hello, Michelle.
My name's Liz. I live in Perth, WA. I've been listening to you since 2018. on Australian true crime, and I have listened to every episode you've ever released. The Mushroom Cure, I can't even remember the name now. When the Mushroom Cure case was happening, you posted a photo on Instagram of the prosecutor. Anyway, I love it all.
Thanks, Michelle. I love all of that, Liz. You've been very kind about everything. And, you know, obviously, Erin Patterson is the name that you're looking for, Liz, the so-called mushroom murderer. Yes. And now that case is up for appeal at the moment. We don't know if that will go ahead or when or anything like that. But it's sort of in front of the courts again. But I just did a big episode about it with Christy from Canadian True Crime. So good. Well, she's so great. She's an Australian lady living in Canada doing Canadian true crime, but she felt like an Australian story. Yeah, I sat in on that one and that was one of my favourites. I am sorry for the editor, Ruby, because I didn't realise until the end.
I talked for two hours flat strapped.
You basically wrote a PhD on the whole Erin Patterson case.
And it was so interesting. I do like the case. And as Liz pointed out, there was so much information the jury didn't hear and we, the public, didn't hear until after the case. So... Putting all of that together, joining all those dots together was an interesting process to get ready for the show. And then, yeah, it took me two hours to explain it all. So I don't know how they're going to edit it down, but whatever. That's Christy's problem, not mine.
But you were a big fan of the lawyer who, what was her name again? Oh, Dr. Rogers. Dr. Rogers.
Dr. Nanette Rogers.
Yeah.
Okay. So I described her to Christy for Canadian True Crime. And I put it this way. She's like, she's one of those little power pack women. She's like a middle-aged lady. She's not a makeup lady like me. She's sort of got this wild hair. And the best way I can describe her is that she wore bright yellow tights. Tights to court. To court. Ruby, this is what I'm saying. Isn't that fabulous? I haven't even seen this. I'll show you a photo. Wait, so whose lawyer was this? This is the prosecutor.
