You probably know the name Amanda Knox but not for the reasons she would have wanted.

At just 20 years old, Amanda found herself at the centre of a global media storm, wrongfully convicted of her roommate’s murder in Italy. She spent four years in prison before being exonerated, but the damage was done. The world had already decided who she was.

What You’ll Hear:

• The media’s obsession with Amanda and how the truth got lost
• The psychological tactics of police interrogations
• How she navigated life in prison and found an unlikely role for herself
• What it means to start over after global scrutiny
• Motherhood, justice and protecting her own daughter’s future

This is a story of survival, resilience and reclaiming a life that was nearly stolen. Amanda Knox is finally Free.

You can buy Amanda Knox memoir Free, here. Or her first book, Waiting To Be Hear, here. 

Or you can listen to her podcast Labyrinths.

Self-Worth, Social Media & Loving The Skin You're In.

Like most young girls growing up in a media-driven world, there comes a moment when you realise your body is being compared to others. For today’s guest, Riley Hemson, that moment came at just 10 years old—when she first believed that her worth was entirely tied to how her body looked.

Ironically, her journey to realising that wasn’t true came through social media—the very thing that often makes people feel less than. Now, Riley is not just an Instagram influencer—she's a business owner, the founder of Remmie by Riley, and a proud ambassador for L'Oreal Paris' Talk Their Worth Campaign, using her platform to inspire women to embrace their value unapologetically and without compromise.

What You’ll Hear:

- Riley’s journey from paramedicine to social media influence
- How sharing her life online helped her find confidence
- The impact of body image struggles from a young age
- Her experience launching Remmie by Riley and becoming a L’Oréal Paris ambassador
- The power of embracing your worth—online and offline

This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with self-doubt, body image, or the pressures of social media.

We have a very special treat for you! You're going to want to send this episode to your best friend immediately. Because it's about the power of the most important relationships in many of our lives - the one we have with our great mates. One our very favourite episode's from this season of MID. 

You would know Amanda Keller from her many decades as an Australian television and radio presenter, comedian, writer, actress and journalist. You might be meeting her best friend forensic psychologist Anita McGregor for the first time, but once you have, you'll know exactly why these two have been inseparable since they first met, 17 years ago.

This conversation goes everywhere from the things your friends can hold your hand through and what they can't. When and if you should offer your best friend "feedback", and what happens to your relationships with everyone and everything - from your friends to your work and your grown-up kids, as you move more into Mid.

You can listen to Amanda and Anita on their podcast, Double A Chattery, here

A Routine STI Check. A Life-Changing Diagnosis.

At 21, Ellie Harrison was living her London dream; working in fashion, in a long-term relationship, studying and partying with friends. Then a routine STI check changed everything: she was HIV positive. Her diagnosis was a complete mystery, and in that moment it felt like the sky was falling. Sitting alone on a canal-side bench after leaving the clinic, Ellie was convinced she'd just been handed a death sentence.

In this conversation you’ll hear:

• What happened after her diagnosis
• What it really means to live with HIV today
• The key differences between HIV and AIDS
• The stigma and prejudice she’s faced
• Her mission to help end HIV transmission

Ellie tells a powerful story of resilience, enlightenment and breaking down outdated misconceptions.

In 2015, Australian con woman Belle Gibson was living the dream. Her app The Whole Pantry was hugely popular and she was about to launch a book of the same name.

With hundreds of thousands of followers online, Belle had become a celebrated wellness influencer who'd overcome terminal cancer and had cured herself with healthy eating and holistic therapies. But it was all a lie.

The truth came to light when her friend, Chanelle McAuliffe, noticed gaps in Belle's story. The moment she exposed her deception is now the focus of the Netflix series Apple Cider Vinegar.

Today, Chanelle tells us what the show got right and wrong, the challenges she faced as a whistleblower, and how she feels about Belle and her crimes now, a decade on.
