Amanda Knox on reclaiming her story & life on Vashon Island
Tuesday, 16 December, 2025

In this episode, we get to know Amanda Knox! Amanda is an exoneree, journalist, advocate, author, host of the podcast ⁠⁠Hard Knox⁠⁠, and a fellow islander. Many people around the world are familiar with Amanda's story, but we go way beyond the headlines in this conversation. We chat about Amanda's newest projects -- her second book, ⁠⁠FREE: My Search for Meaning⁠⁠, and the Hulu/Disney+ mini-series The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox -- and why they are more accurate than earlier portrayals of her story. She shares about her many passions, including reclaiming her story, criminal justice reform, and comedy! Amanda also gets personal, sharing her deep ties to Vashon and the Pacific Northwest and her experience as a famous person living in a small town.
