249. The Mushroom Murders (B2 English)

This is about the trial in Australia that finished just last week and is popularly known as "The Mushroom Murders". Today, I'll ask the famous detective, Hércules Poirot (from Agatha Christie's novels) to explain to his exclusive audience of people involved in the crime and to us, the listeners of the podcast, what happened exactly, and who the murderer is.

This is a B2-level podcast with focus on the third conditional. e.g.

If I had studied more, I would have passed my Cambridge exams.

Listen for examples of the third conditional.
