Ask Amanda Anything - Forgiving Guede, How to Become Fluent, How to Tell Your Own Story
In this episode of Ask Amanda Anything, Amanda discusses Rudy Guede's new trial and why she no longer needs to confront her friend’s killer to find peace. She also shares how learning Italian in prison—from a Harry Potter book and a borrowed dictionary—became an unlikely act of agency and self-preservation. Along the way, Amanda explains why police deception undermines justice, how storytelling can turn pain into meaning, and why accepting the apology you’ll never receive is a way to stop living in deficit.

Old School: It's OK to Be OK (Samantha Geimer)
Welcome to Old School, where we revisit some of our best episodes from previous years with some current reflections on why these episodes are still fascinating.
In 1977, Roman Polanski raped 13-year old Samantha Geimer. But strangely, the rape itself wasn't as bad as what followed. Amanda and Chris join Samantha to sift through the trauma of thirty years of exploitation by the justice system and the media.

In the first episode of Ask Amanda Anything, Amanda opens up about everything from the gendered double standards in her wrongful conviction to that time a comedian blindsided her with a lazy murder joke—while she was in the audience. She shares how trauma shaped her instinct to live in crisis mode, how meditation and stand-up helped her reset, and why she’s finally learning to trust the calm without waiting for the chaos.
