In Conversation w Duncan McNab & Michael Duffy

What do murder and beef Wellington have in common? Neither is easy to pull off. Get the pastry wrong, overcook the beef, or lace the whole thing with death cap mushrooms, and suddenly your Sunday lunch makes international headlines.

Duncan McNab and Michael Duffy took is on an eye-opening tour of the infamous Leongatha Mushroom Murders case, dishing the dirt on the investigation, the courtroom drama, and the appeal that won’t go away.

Duncan’s insights were well-considered, often poignant, and occasionally very amusing indeed. Michael proved himself an interviewer of the first order, the sort who leads you gently by the elbow through the whole affair without you quite noticing you’ve been led. Between the two of them there was excellent chemistry, and the result is a thoroughly worthy listen for the curious.
