In this episode, we delve into Free: My Search for Meaning, the new memoir from Amanda Knox, whose name became synonymous with one of the most controversial murder cases of the 21st century.
We unpack the most compelling takeaways from the book, including Knox’s struggles with re-entry into American life after spending years in an Italian prison, her total loss of anonymity and, years later, her emotional return to Italy to meet face-to-face with the prosecutor who helped put her behind bars.
The book examines Knox’s reckoning with justice, guilt, and forgiveness—and what her story reveals about the global true crime obsession. Ultimately, Amanda finally reclaims her own narrative and learns what “freedom” really means after years of being defined by others, so join us as we dive into all of it!
The memoir "Free: My Search for Meaning" by Amanda Knox is now available wherever you buy books.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
