Summary

Bob is joined by Exoneree and Author, Amanda Knox. Amanda talks about her experience of being coerced into signing a false confession in Italy in 2007, and how she used that experience to help shape her 6 part mini-series on false confessions on her podcast “Labyrinths.” Bob also chats with her about her new book, “Free: My Search for Meaning.” Lastly, we learn that Amanda is producing a new scripted series on Hulu. The series is titled “The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox” premiering on Hulu on August 20th.
