Welcome to TrustMe 2022!

The podcast about cult, extreme belief and the abuse of power from two biased bitches who've actually experienced it, I am Lola Blanc.

And I am Megan Elizabeth.

And today, our first guest of the year are the incredible Amanda Knox and Christopher Robinson.

They are the writers and hosts of the podcast Labyrinths.

Yes, it is that Amanda Knox, the one who was wrongfully convicted for the death of her roommate in Italy in 2007.

Amanda and Christopher are here to talk to us about cognitive bias, a favorite topic that we share.

They're gonna walk us through Amanda's conviction and what went wrong throughout the process and what it was like being in an Italian prison for four years knowing that she was innocent.

We'll be discussing our favorite cognitive biases, all the biases that come into play in Amanda's trial, and the public perception of what happened,

including why it's been so hard to clear her reputation and why it's so important to understand the mental shortcuts our brains take.

Yeah, okay, so I'm so fucking excited about this episode for so many reasons, aside from them being amazing and her story being incredible.

I mean, one of the things that really stood out to me was the fact that she said that people all the time are like cat-calling her that she's still guilty.

I think I said this in the interview, but like I've mentioned to people that we were going to be interviewing her and they've been like the murderer.

Right.

Which is just like, it's so shocking and that's why getting her story out there is so important watching the Netflix documentary about her is so important.
