This week, a specifically Australian take on magical realism weaving a mystery involving a baby, a potentially poisonous mushroom, and the mysterious disappearance of a friend, Chia.

Through rich symbolisms and tension, this episode explores truth, lies, friendship, and vulnerability.

Shhh…Listen. Banksia’s tell two truths, one lie. The game starts now.

Written and read by Leo Alder.

Composition and sound design by Suzanne Derry.

With production support by Zacha Rosen & Phoebe Adler-Ryan.

Recorded at Echidna Audio.
