Summary

Amanda Knox joins Ravi to discuss her riveting piece in The Atlantic, “What If He Actually Did It?” In the article, she writes about her support of Jens Söring, a man who spent 33 years in prison for a double homicide he insists he didn’t commit, and how she began to reexamine her advocacy for his innocence. Ravi and Amanda explore her emotional journey as she reflects on the friendship she developed with Jens, how the parallels between his story and her own influenced her stance, and the process it took to reevaluate her position on his case.

0:00.0	Welcome to The Lost Debate Show for Politically Ecclectics. I'm Robbie Gupta, and this is a special episode.
0:06.3	We have a running list inside the branch and the lost debate of people that are just like on our dream list of people to talk to.
0:14.0	And Amanda Knox has long been on this list.
0:17.3	She is a writer based in Seattle.
0:18.8	She is the author of Waiting to Be Heard, as soon to be
0:21.2	adapted miniseries on Hulu. She's also the host of the podcast Labyrinths. But you will probably
0:27.9	know her because she was falsely accused of a murder back in 2007 and was subsequently after a long
0:35.4	and painful fight acquitted definitively by the Italian Supreme Court.

0:45.6	and not make this interview a rabbit hole on all the terrible things that happened to her in Italy.

1:08.3	where I wanted to stand alone because this is an example of somebody changing their mind when the stakes are about as high as they get.
1:17.1	And that's what this whole podcast is about.
1:19.7	And so I am excited to welcome on Amanda Knox.
1:30.2	Amanda Knox, welcome to the podcast.

1:32.5	Excited to be here.
