Episode 21: Sea of Lies podcast and Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton

This episode I get drawn into a murky mystery that started with a fisherman’s discovery in 1996 in Devon and then snaked out across Europe and over the Atlantic. The podcast series Sea of Lies by CBC will have you gripped. In Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton, the title gives a clue to the tragedy within as people’s ambitions set them on a path to their own downfall.  Its story set around activism, social justice and the selfish super rich might be depressingly familiar, yet the author conjures something poetic and hopeful.
