Excellent!
Very well done. Binged 3 seasons in 2 days

Downward spiral
The first two seasons were pretty interesting. The third season was intriguing, but Amanda clearly started injecting her opinions and perspectives throughout. Season 4 is a collection of anecdotes where Amanda uses the stories as platforms to express her political opinions as “the truth”. I could t handle it and finally gave up after the third episode of listening to her spin everything with her Leftist perspective as reality. Hard pass. Unsubscribe.

This show is amazing
We all think we know these stories. So, it’s hard to imagine that anyone could bring new insight, but that is exactly what Amanda Knox does. Knox brings a depth of understanding and sensitivity to these crimes that is fresh and profound. This is a really good podcast. I hope everyone listens.

Amanda is amazing!!!
Oh my God when she talks-I can feel the depth of her sorrow in dealing with this. She’s incredibly strong and completely open hearted. Makes me want to throw my arms around her and hold her tight. From her own experience she’s helping others. And that’s what we are put on earth to do… help others…when we can… in every way we can. 🙏🏻 Amanda, if you need any help I am here for you just reach out! 😉🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻

Well done!!
I heard Amanda’s interview on the Jordan Harbinger Show, which prompted me to check out this Podcast. In her interview with Jordan, she was so amazingly open, honest, well-spoken, self-aware and empathetic. Her quest to understand different human beings, whom carry different perspectives is apparent and refreshing. She shares this quest with the listener in a clear, concise and captivating manner. I find her very relatable as woman in my mid-thirties, as well as, incredibly inspiring. Keep up the fantastic work Amanda!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Good in small doses
The moaning and mmhmm mmhmm in agreement Amanda does when someone else is talking during every episode is excruciating to listen to. Good material in small doses though.

Wonderful Job
I have always been a fan of true time. I respect Amanda Knox immensely and the work she continues to do. I have only just discovered this podcast, but it has something different to offer. You may think “Oh I know all about this incident”. I promise you’ll hear things you’ve never heard no matter have many things you’ve watched on a case.

Amazing
You have done a wonderful job with this. Thank you.

A different perspective on tire crime.
While I do believe Amanda to be innocent. I understand that I could be wrong. Not seeing things in only black and white, it’s hard for me to 100% be for someone’s quilt or innocence. Often it seems many people do just that, jumping to an immediate stance without really hearing the evidence, or even caring what the evidence is. I tend to think, and overthink, and think again about something, before I can arrive to what I believe. This is how Amanda seems to approach her topics and guests. I don’t feel there is bias, and even if for a moments she seems to be leaning one way she pulls you back the other way. She sees the human side of both the victims and the accused. Not something many do. She can bring some of her own experiences to the table and adding that perspective is interesting. And while someone in her situation might chose to come across bitter or angry, she doesn’t. She uses her experience to relate to and compare to her topics. Never seeming to be using it for ratings or otherwise. Even her guests get pleasantly surprised with some of the questions she brings to them. She has a different perspective on these stories than most anyone I have listened to. That could be due to her well documented past, or maybe it is just who she is. Either way it’s refreshing. All of the seasons were great and I hope at some point we get more.

Glad I found this podcast!
So happy to “see” Amanda Knox has taken her life back. She has a calming voice, awesome insight, and her pronunciations of other languages are beautiful to hear.♥️

Top of my list
If I could give it more than five stars, I would. Amanda Knox is intelligent, well spoken, insightful and engaging. The high production values set the standard for others in the genre. This series is right at the top of podcasts I recommend to other discerning listeners.

Finally
It is so rare to meet someone who believes the same as I when it comes to this subject. I’m so happy you made this podcast.

Excellent!
Before you listen you may wonder if Amanda is biased to the wrongly accused and the system that put them there. Unlike her peers in the for- profit media, she is able to maintain a sense of independence and is able to see the pros and cons of all sides. Her non-judgmental treatment of Elizabeth Haysom; the ability to see all sides of complicated situations and even more complicated people sets her squarely apart fro her peers. Her narration is on point and expertly fleshes out the complicated nature of the justice system. Her questions are pointed and further the discussion ad opposed to many of her peers who are solely trying to create clicks. The mainstream media does not like it but she is one of our best journalists

So proud of you!
I just listened to your interview on Crime Junkies. Hearing about your terrible experience, seeing how you pushed through, started over and proved to be such a resilient, hopeful and empathic person through it all is such an inspiring story! I was really impacted by your end comments about “the why.” Especially to be coming from someone with your recent life experiences! I think I’ve almost always been a pretty generic, quick-to-judge person. Not until my husband became a practicing inpatient psychiatrist did I start to realize how tragic these patients’ stories really were, and how the lives they were leading were hardly any fault of their own. I look forward to listening to your podcasts! I appreciate your bringing awareness to subjects like these, and I’m sure others you encountered throughout your long journey. Thank you for keeping my hope in humanity alive!

I love Amanda Knox
I’m officially a fan after listening to her compassionate coverage of Jens Soering’s case. This is a very interesting podcast that discusses difficult topics. Amanda asks intelligent questions and opines thoughtfully. She’s lovely to listen to as well.

Hi, Amanda! I’m reaching out to you for a story. It involves my child and it’s ongoing. I don’t know another way to write for you to be able to read my information. Thank you in advance! Heidi

Hypocritic
Amanda Knox is criticizing Stillwater, which is a fictionalized storyline while hosting a podcast that exploits the misfortunes of crime victims. A bit hypocritical.

Terrible
12 year old sounding girl makes everything political. Oh. And she murdered some people. Pass.

Love truckers against predators!!!!
Grateful to truckers against predators! Don’t ever stop what you do!! Don’t care what the mother of a predator thinks ...

Can’t believe I didn’t find this earlier!
Amanda Knox is a great narrator and interviewer. She takes a broad view at sensational crimes in a way that is not only captivating, but deeply challenging. I love that she doesn’t accept true crime just as an entertainment genre, but adds the value of cultural and societal education around our justice system and commonly held beliefs. This is a great podcast that I’m just getting into but I already can’t wait to hear more from her!!

Really?
Who better to talk about murder than a murderer herself?

Wise and incisive
Amanda is so wise and has so much heart! I love this more nuanced approach to true crime. She is an excellent interviewer and listener and her work is illuminating about the human experience, suffering, justice and injustice. Highly recommend.
Lanerdius
Amazing and fantastic
When I saw that you had a podcast Amanda I had to listen to it. You give a perspective to true crime in a way only you can with your real life and experience from the nightmare you lived. I followed your case and the facts or lack evidence that led to your wrongful imprisonment. Keep up the good job!! This podcast is interesting and the insight into the cases impressive. I look forward to hearing more as I’m currently on season 3.

Love it
Amanda Knox is great as podcast host. She is fun and easy to listen to. She adds her own special take on the cases. True crime doesn't get better than this!

Amazing Podcast
So great to have Amanda hosting a podcast. She is really good and knows how to guide you through journey of many great topics. There is a lot of heart and soul in her work. She reflects on her personal past as it pertains to the cases at hand. Fantastic. It’s great to hear she is doing well. This podcast series is a must listen!

Important Perspective
In a sea of true crime podcasts, Knox offers a unique and important perspective. She seeks out primary sources in her pursuit of the truth, which is often contrary to the results of trials and the beliefs of the public.
Gileswife
Love it!
I love this podcast…I actually subscribed to it today and I have been listening to it nonstop. There’s no better way to listen to crime stories from someone who lived through it. Maybe being wrongly accused of a crime helped Amanda to grow as a human being and help others who are also innocent.
Mari Attie
Insightful, Sincere, Intelligent
Third day, third season, and I absolutely love Amanda Knox’s hosting. Her questions and anecdotes and I especially appreciate how she challenges how we perceive the “crime” subject. I have to be honest, I didn’t expect to appreciate her and her interjecting her experiences but it is really done organically and I don’t feel like it’s done too often. I have so much respect and also find her voice and tone sincere and almost soothing. Highly recommend it!

I really enjoy this podcast. Like so many other podcasts? I was so disappointed to hear constant uptalking. When there is a sentence? That should have a comma? But instead would be transcribed with a question mark? It makes the speaker sound less confident and unsure of what she is saying. The content is really good; the presentation makes me cringe.

Fantastic
Amanda has a fascinating perspective, and she is a talented storyteller. This is the best true crime podcast I’ve heard.

Great Podcast
It's awesome to see Amanda use her talent this way!

Equal time
I love how even though you have every right to be totally biased, you hold the space for each person that there’s good and bad and room on either side of behavior. Keep up the good work love this show

Excellent Podcast
Thorough, sensitive and enthralling. A new favorite!

Glad this exists!
I read Amanda’s book and was a fan. I was also a fan of the DC sniper Podcast but that was a short mini series, so now I’m listening to Knox’s journalism podcast covering the Jonestown massacre and other events. She’s a pro

Best podcast ever!
I listen to many podcasts, but this one is the best!

Rape
Sorry but I can’t get behind and feel bad because one Indian man had a wrongful accusation! Especially when thousands of Indian woman are married of before puberty and treated like slaves and raped whenever someone feels like it! The example and percentages of a wrongly accused man of rape is soooooooo small verses actually rape which is sooooo destroying to any woman!!! I know you were hurt and wrongfully accused. But don’t find sympathy or empathy everywhere. You a woman who had their roommate RAPED and killed should see that rape is the bigger issue!!!! Not being a vigilante!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Compelling!
Season 2 Gary reminds me of Ellie Nesler. I totally get why they did it. But the emotional fallout for her family always made me think twice. I appreciate your take on vigilantes.

I’m with many others here....
Amanda is a great host and of course offers a wealth of personal insight. I have always been upset that she had to endure her own bizarre and unfair ordeal and am glad to see she has found an outlet and a niche here. I encourage her to do more with her great voice, presentation and interview skills.
PW from GR
Good Job!
I appreciate Amanda’s experience and knowledge. I am also heartened to know that Amanda has survived the nightmare that she endured, and has been able to bring us a smart, well-researched, and thought provoking podcast.

Thumbs up!!
I grew up in the 80s, and I was enthralled and horrified by this story at the time. It was terrible the way Jennifer’s reputation was trashed by both the legal system and the media, and Amanda’s similar experience, though from the other side, lends extra poignancy to the story. Jennifer’s friends are so eloquent as they relate their impressions of her, and gave an extra dimension of humanity to this excellent podcast. I live in New York and I pass by the tree where her poor body was found and where she was murdered, and I live across from and sometimes go to Dorrian’s, and I think of her every time.

Fantastic!
Amanda, I agree with what others have said. You have found your calling. I thought I knew all there is to know about Jim Jones, but you have provided a new perspective. Thank you!
