Hush - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this series. Glad to hear Jesse’s story, and that you all fought to get to the truth of what really happened on that night. Great investigative work! Thank you for asking the tough questions to investigators on the case like the ones to Quakenbush. Unfortunately, Jesse lost 25 years of his life but his attitude and spirit were inspiring to me. Thank you for shedding light on this case. I look forward to the other stories you all highlight!

I first discovered Leah Sottile and Ryan Haas through their Bundyville podcast. I have enormous respect for the in-depth investigative journalism they bring to every project. Their new podcast Hush is illuminating and infuriating, and it provides fascinating insight into the police force and justice system of Oregon’s state capitol.

I listen to ton of podcasts and this is one of the better ones. The story was well told and hit on the challenges of the justice system. It’s frustrating to think that all evidence is not considered before pursuing an arrest and conviction of a person. I was under the illusion that Oregon was such a progressive state. Boy was I wrong.

leah and ryan worked up this case better than literally any lawyer did (yet another indictment of our criminal legal system), asked all the right questions, and got some truly shocking answers, even as many should have been obvious. a compelling story of criminal injustice.
