Hugh is closer than ever to Aldersgate’s buried secrets. He knows who’s behind the bodies under the 18th green - but the motives, the accomplices, and the danger remain unknown. The golf course, a stage of skill and prestige, now hides pressure, obsession, and desperate measures. Faces he thought were familiar turn threatening, and every revelation feels like a step closer to something he may not survive. Some truths, he realises, might be too dangerous to uncover.

The sleepy, posh town of Aldersgate is buzzing with preparations for the event of the century - the Sterling Crown Invitational, right on their own golf course. Meanwhile, golfing podcaster Hugh Wyndham-Blythe is digging into the skeletal remains discovered beneath the 18th green. With all previous investigations now defunct, he has to start from scratch again. His desperate search for a lead lands him a warped lanyard and a scrap of tartan fabric. These might just be the clues that change everything.

Hugh’s search leads him to the forgotten commune Whispering Pines, where he uncovers traces of a woman known as Daisy Chain. He pockets a diary she left behind. Her writing hints at a secret relationship and a sudden disappearance the town never quite explained. When another anonymous warning appears on Hugh’s car, threatening him if he continues his investigation, tensions rise. Teaming up with best mate, Nate, and cop sister, Clementine, Hugh realises the past is far messier - and closer to home - than he imagined.

Hugh finds himself dragged back into the mystery of the skeleton under Aldersgate’s 18th hole - once thought to be his missing first love, Sophie. But an old recording pops up, then a very unexpected phone call, and suddenly Hugh’s not sure what (or who) to believe. As he grills old mates and stirs up town gossip, forensics drops a bombshell: there’s much more to these human remains than originally thought.

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.

Content Warning: R18, Language and Sexual Material May Offend. In this episode, I talk about a relationship I had with an older man when I was young. I acknowledge this might be a sensitive issue for some listeners, so if this might stir up negative feelings for you, you may want to skip this episode.  

While we're waiting eagerly for Season 3 of Small Town Scandal, we wanted to share the new season of Sex.Life with you! We hope you enjoy it!

Details:

Welcome back to Sex.Life! Season 3 is here, and Somatic Sexologist Morgan Penn is taking us on her quest to find love. 

In this episode Morgan takes us back to the start - her thirteen-year-old self. Horny teenage Morgan falls for her sexy older neighbour and desperately tries everything to get his attention. She hides in a wardrobe to spy on him, skips school for days to pull off her plan to learn his name and develops a faux passion for rugby. 

There’s plenty more boys on the scene too; Drama Boy serenades Morgan under the full moon before her smooch premiere, she loses a pube to Dovey Dick and Shannon writes her a sweet, yet cringey, love letter.

Plus, there’s some awkward teeth mashing, dry humping and Hayley’s first orgasm, before we end with a new style of Homeplay where Morgan takes us deeper...
