What Really Happened To Amanda Knox

04/05/25 • 70 min

You probably know the name Amanda Knox but not for the reasons she would have wanted.

At just 20 years old, Amanda found herself at the centre of a global media storm, wrongfully convicted of her roommate’s murder in Italy. She spent four years in prison before being exonerated, but the damage was done. The world had already decided who she was.

What You’ll Hear:

The media’s obsession with Amanda and how the truth got lost
The psychological tactics of police interrogations
How she navigated life in prison and found an unlikely role for herself
What it means to start over after global scrutiny
Motherhood, justice and protecting her own daughter’s future

This is a story of survival, resilience and reclaiming a life that was nearly stolen. Amanda Knox is finally Free.

You can buy Amanda Knox memoir Free, here. Or her first book, Waiting To Be Hear, here.

Or you can listen to her podcast Labyrinths.

How The Deaths Of Two Girls, Eight Years Apart, Uncovered Tokyo’s Worst Predator

Carita Ridgeway from Australia and Lucie Blackman from England arrived in Japan eight years apart, both working as hostesses, earning $150-$400 a night while entertaining wealthy businessmen.

At 21, both planned to make money for world travel but encountered Joji Obara, a sadistic criminal mastermind. While there were hundreds of victims assaulted by Obara, they were the only ones known to have lost their lives.

Clare Campbell’s book Tokyo Hostess: Inside the Shocking World of Tokyo Nightclub Hostessing explores their stories, the Japanese sex industry, and the serial rapist who sparked an international investigation.

You can find her book here.
