Season 1, Episode 2

1. The Buggy

Just after midnight, 19-year-old Dean Webber dials triple zero. An injured woman he’s never met before - Candice Locke - had run to his home for help. Within minutes, more strangers arrive at his house looking for Candice. As tensions escalate, Dean’s frantic phone call recordings capture the fear in real time - until, terrified for his life, he reaches for a knife just as the triple zero operator hangs up on him. But how did it come to this, when just hours earlier almost everyone involved was celebrating the NRL grand final at a backyard party? The answer almost certainly lies in an ill-fated buggy ride - the moment that set the deadly and baffling events into motion. The night is pieced together through police interviews, phone calls and bodycam recordings. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why Naomi Ishiguro Chooses Cozy Fantasy

Naomi may be the daughter of Nobel Prize winning writer Kazuo Ishiguro, but for her own writing, she is carving a very different and distinctly unique path - particularly in her new book The Rainshadow Orphans. It's one that balances high stakes adventure with writing that feels like a warm coat, that makes our inner children smile, and that tastes like bubble tea. In this chat, Naomi talks about what it was like growing up in a very literary household, her time in a 'book spa' working to find people their perfect book, the power of found families, her love of the fantasy community, and the reasons she chooses to follow joy See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
