Aussie podcast industry on brink of collapse as Mushroom trial comes to a close

As the infamous ‘mushroom trial’ comes to an end with the guilty verdict, media outlets have begun to panic as the entire Australian podcast industry faces a risk of total collapse.

The fear for the industry stems from seemingly every podcast and media outlet in the country hard pivoting to artistically reading out court transcripts every day in a race to beat the algorithm.

“What are we meant to talk about now?” said all the journalists who flew to Patterson’s home town despite not being allowed to record anything inside the court room.

“Our golden content goose is gone. The perfect mix of true crime, easy content and recipe life hacks.”

“If only the people dying around the country or overseas would do so in mushroom related ways instead of all the boring ways they normally do.”
