As a bonus for our Hard Knox listeners we are sharing Amanda’s recent appearance on the podcast Honestly with Bari Weiss. Bari is a journalist, author, and founder of The Free Press, known for her fearless interviews and sharp commentary on culture, politics, and free expression. It's a wide-ranging conversation exploring the themes of Amanda’s new memoir, Free: My Search For Meaning. If you already know Amanda’s story, you’ll find new depth here as she talks about surviving prison, reintegrating into society, returning to Italy to confront the prosecutor who put her behind bars, and why she chooses forgiveness over bitterness. It’s a candid, thoughtful exchange, and a chance to hear Amanda reflect on her life in a way that’s both deeply personal and profoundly universal.
