Our friend Tom Sainsbury has released a new season of his murder-mystery podcast Small Town Scandal. We wanted to share the first episode with you to try it out. We hope you enjoy! You can binge the first four episodes of the season here, right now. When a human skull turns up under the 18th green at the Aldersgate Golf Course, golf podcaster Hugh Wyndham-Blythe is “volunteered” by his listen-hungry boss to investigate. Hugh’s initial reaction? Mild annoyance and a strong desire to get back to talking about swing tempo. But once he hears when the skull was buried, everything changes. This isn’t just some dusty cold case. Hugh starts to suspect he may have actually known the person whose head is now beneath his favourite hole. Small Town Scandal is an 8-part mockumentary true-crime podcast all voiced by one incredible actor - Tom Sainsbury.  Follow us on Instagram: @thomassainsbury / @iheartradionzSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
