Amanda Knox
Amanda Knox is an exoneree, author and producer. Amanda joins the Armchair Expert to discuss the human urge to find fault in others to exonerate ourselves, coming of age in the era of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl, and the personal journeys undertaken while studying abroad. Amanda and Dax talk about how people still have a hard time distinguishing when media is sensationalized, the vital distinction between an interview and an interrogation, and the deep, cartoonish misogyny endemic to her case. Amanda explains how comforting it is when people find her story relatable, the remaining sticking point with her prosecutor on facts versus interpretations, and the nuance in portrayal while making this show and what she needed to get perfectly right.
