Welcome to the shit show. Things are going to get weird. It's your fave villain, Kale Lowry. And you're listening to Barely Famous. Today on the podcast, we have Amanda Knox, and I'm so excited to talk to you about your new book. Thank you. Thanks for having me. So I read the entire book, and I have to say that I vaguely knew who you were. Okay. But this is my first real impression of you. Okay.
I vaguely heard about your case, and I was kind of glad after reading the book that I didn't prejudge you. Okay. Yay. And I just wanted to know. So I had so many questions and initially started forming forming questions on like a document. And I was like, oh, I can't wait to ask her this. And then everything was pretty much answered in the book. So I thought that was really nice.
And as you can see, I tabbed so many things. Some of the things that are just I think a lot of people can resonate with. But so much of it I did tab to bring up today. Awesome. I was thinking this morning while I was getting ready, like. What do you want from this interview? Because I want to tell your story in the way that you want to be heard the same way that you describe in this book.
You don't want to be remembered as the girl accused of murder. And so I don't want to perpetuate that if I don't have to. Sure, sure, sure, sure. Yeah. I mean, I think the big thing that I hope from this interview is honestly that people will read.
free my search for meaning because like there's this impression that like my story is encapsulated in this what this bad thing that happened to me and now it's over and the end my story's over and that happens to a lot of exonerees I'm not the only one who has had the experience of the worst experience of your life being so utterly defining and then the minute you get out of prison you eat your first hamburger I call it the hamburger moment because it's always like a McDonald's hamburger they're
Like, oh, look, they're eating a McDonald's hamburger for the first time after 20 years in prison. The end. And what really is the case is that a whole human drama unfolds behind that curtain where that is for the first time the person living their life and like discovering who they are and answering that now what question after having been forced to survive in an insanely unfair and brutal
and traumatic experience. And so what I like to say is that, you know, I've written a book before this, I've written a memoir before this called waiting to be heard. I'm very proud of it. I wrote it at a time of my life where I felt like I needed to react to this huge, incredible narrative that had been made about me without any sort of input from me.
And it was in reaction to that, that I was explaining here, this is this terrible experience that happened to me. And this is, this is, what it looks like from my perspective to be on trial for this crime. This book is not that. This book is what I've done in response to that.
If Waiting to be Heard is reactive, this is a book about how I've lived my life proactively and how I've been really human because it is not like... Look at me and how good I am. It is like, oh my God, look at all these mistakes I made because I am still processing this traumatic experience in my lived life and how it's had repercussions that have been
