About this listen

SEASON TWO IS OUT NOW!

An 8-part mockumentary true-crime podcast parodying the podcasts like Serial, Teachers Pet and Drop Out. All voiced by one actor - Tom Sainsbury.

After a successful first podcast season – exposing his Uncle Mitch’s killer – Toby Buchanan was settling into a quiet life writing ads for the local car dealer when it was rudely interrupted by another mystery.

He received a severed toe in the mail, and some mysterious communication about something horrific happening in the Wairarapa beach town of Ruatuna on New Years Eve.

Unable to resist the pull of another mystery, Toby heads to Ruatuna to see if he can use his investigative skills to solve the mystery and finds a town full of small-town characters who are all as suspicious as each other.

The perfect road trip binge, summer never sounded so mysterious.

Killed by the very thing that he brought into the world - his automatic mowers. Everyone in town believes it’s just an unfortunate accident but Mitch’s nephew, Toby Buchanan (a disgraced ex-expose journalist who found infamy in Sydney for making false claims about a cat food company) believes there is something far more sinister going on…​

    Toby follows up the first lead, suspicious of his Aunty Janine and her motives to kill his Uncle Mitch.
