It’s been a big year for Jess and for Christian music. In June, she broke the stories about Michael Tait with The Roys Report, unveiling a 2 1/2 year investigation into allegations of sexual abuse and cover up. But she wasn’t the only journo who was chasing down the truth… Josiah Hesse, an incredible journo from the Mid West who wrote for The Guardian, was close behind.
Jess and Josiah’s lives are radically different - Christian/Atheist, Oz/USA - but she soon learned they had a lot more in common than she realized. Namely an evangelical upbringing, their taste in music and a passion for justice.
What happens next to Michael Tait and the Christian Music industry? Jess and Josiah talk about the what happened, what’s next, and what it cost them.
