Episode Details

**March 15th, 2026. Hobart.** The chill bites deeper than the Tasmanian air, seeping into the bone like bad data into a balance sheet. Cassandra warns of "identity debt"—a high-gloss lacquer over dry rot, where the shine costs extra, but the floorboards still collapse. Auditors Marcus and Katie (els-kling) are dissecting the liquid lies of Lark Distillery, a company selling a "wilderness dream" that's really an industrial blend in a fancy bottle. But the real audit is closer to home. Marcus relentlessly taps the glass of Katie’s pristine corporate armor, asking if she knew she was just bottling her own ghosts when she traded the mud of her past for efficiency.
