I am so excited to share the knife, a powerful true crime podcast from Hannah Smith, yes,

the original host of The Opportunist, and Pesha Eden. These two are changing the game when it comes

Cassie's story is a personal account of navigating the legal system after reporting a rape.

She did everything right, but still faced a long painful process. Her experience

echoes the questions we wrestle with in high-profile campus sexual assault cases. What does

justice actually look like? And now I'm proud to introduce a full episode preview of the

knife. My body is the crime scene. This story contains adult content and language. Listener discretion is advised.

Things started to hit me.

More of this really just happened, and this is bad.

Yeah. Welcome to The Knife. I'm Hannah Smith. I'm Pasha Eaton. This week we're speaking with a woman named Cassie. In 2008,
