When Jennifer Massey became mayor of Columbia County’s largest town, she moved from being one of the leading critics of people in power to now being a person in power. But that move was not simple. Now, Massey is the one facing the tough questions. A... more
If the three parties that tell a true crime story – the police, the community and the media – are failing to find answers for what happened to Sarah Zuber, can robust journalism find out what really happened to Sarah Zuber? The Hush team takes a look... more
If the third group that tells a true crime story is the media, Columbia County is lacking in this department. The local newspaper is on its last legs and closes after more than 140 years of operation. Facebook and TikTok take over as the primary news... more

Knowing how the Mayor of St Helens is currently being investigated by the state would like to her more what she says in these interviews.
This had potential, but they spend so much time getting to their point that I’ve lost all interest before they get there. Life is too short and the importance of a podcast too little to wait so long. Judicious editing might make it salvageable, but it’s not clear that they have much to save anyway.
One of the things I love about Leah Sottile’s work is how she humanizes the people in her stories. This podcast is no different—Sottile takes lengths to write with specificity and clear-eyed compassion about both the living and the dead. Can’t wait for the next episode!
Season 1 was great and the first episode of season 2 makes it seem like that will continue.
Leah Sottile is an Oregon treasure!
Great listen and well reported/produced. Cant wait for Season 2.
