Summary
Raphael Rowe was wrongfully convicted as part of M25 Three and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. It was a privilege to sit down with Raphael and hear all about his experience - both during and after his imprisonment, the rituals that kept him going, and the joys of fatherhood. This turned out to be such a fascinating and vulnerable chat, we really dug in deep and I hope you love it!

| 0:00.0 | Did you never cry? |
| 0:04.0 | I didn't cry when I was in prison. I couldn't. |
| 0:06.1 | Even when I felt like I was crying, my eyes were dry. |
| 0:13.0 | Hi, is that a new top? It's actually fab. That colour is you. Love it. |
| 0:19.8 | I am Angela Scanlan and you are listening to Thanks a Million, |
| 0:23.4 | the podcast that talks about thanks with the good, the great and the grateful. How's your day been? |
| 0:29.5 | Mine has been pretty full on. I am relatively new to the school run. I don't know whether |
| 0:35.5 | you know or have experienced the school run. Maybe |
| 0:38.7 | you're in walking distance. I'm not. So I have been stuck sluggishly in traffic all morning. But it's |
| 0:44.7 | fine. I'm channeling positive energy. It took a lot of mustering. Also, my daughters are |

| 1:02.5 | about a million things that I have been grateful for lately. Today, it just dawned on me that I am so, so thankful. I mean, I look forward so much to a little |
| 1:16.9 | evening date with a magnifying mirror. I don't own one because I feel it would lead to my demise. |
| 1:26.9 | But when I get to a hotel that has a magnifying mirror and some |
| 1:31.1 | good sweet light, my nose gets it. Seriously, in my current house I feel like my pores are really tiny. |
| 1:40.1 | And then I get up to a magnifying mirror and boom, I can see all the good stuff. |
| 1:46.8 | And I don't know why, but it's just deeply, deeply satisfying. |
| 1:52.4 | I know this feels really graphic and disgusting. |
