The final episode of Hush is out today, episode 8: "The Allure of an Answer." Every podcast I finish, I think it's the hardest thing I've done as a journalist. This time that might be the most true. Someday soon, I'll tell you why. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Would also like to give flowers to my friends @yarknevets.bsky.social & Nalin Silva who worked their magic behind the scenes to make this podcast sound amazing (in addition to another podcast you might've heard called The Evergreen, for which they've tolerated many a chaotic JC Audition session) 💐

President Donald Trump was formally blocked from sending the National Guard to Portland by U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut, who delivered her final order in the case Friday.

In 1975, some classic movies like "Jaws" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" made film history. But another movie came out that year that's lesser-known but incredibly impactful. It is the first film performed entirely in American Sign Language, and it was made in Oregon.

The Hush team looks at the ways police focused on two men in Sarah Zuber's life and how a true crime trope took police down the wrong path.

I love that every Halloween @timoflegend.bsky.social fires up the Vectrex and plays Every Day is Halloween with an overlay designed by my daughter! The game is a great work of vector art from @binarystarsoftware.bsky.social

NO ONE flys quite like Shaedon Sharpe. PHEW !!

@trailblazers.bsky.social away games look worse than the home games (lower resolution, occasionally choppy frame rate) once again this season. was really hoping that would be solved... but hey, it's free!

not many people can say they spent a significant portion of their weekend recreating overlays for the incredibly obscure Entex Select-A-Game system

For the first time in 60+ years, the Uncle Sam sign in Chehalis, Washington says something factual: "Native Land." www.facebook.com/thecentralia...

incredibly proud to have mixed this one and worked with some amazing people in the process! so happy it is out today on opb!

and last challenge of the season!

Billups last night: "That pressure thing is nothing to me man. I do the best I can and let the chips fall where they may"

listen to the new season of Hush! wherever you get your podcasts!

Oh okay

The new season of Hush begins! It's a really interesting investigation that takes on true crime tropes, the pitfalls of citizen sleuthing, politicizing literally everything and the collapse of local journalism. Oh, and all told in that enthralling @leahsottile.bsky.social style! Subscribe pls

Apropos of nothing, Sec. Kristi Noem is currently praying over Burgerville with Portland ICE officials.
