Season five of Expanse is a rollicking tale from the Great Sandy Desert. It's 1999, and a young American man is missing in the Australian outback. Police soon realise there's something very strange about this case — the man appears to have plunged into the desert on purpose, and seemingly doesn't want to be found.

In season five of ABC's Expanse podcast, host Erin Parke investigates the strange saga, which spans three decades, two continents and a colourful cast of characters.

At a time when so many of us feel lost, what's the most extreme thing you'd do to feel found?
