The Wikipedia page for Amanda Knox has 5,000 words devoted to the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher, her subsequent wrongful incarceration and conviction, followed by her acquittal, release, re-conviction, and ultimate exoneration.

As for Amanda's life since returning home from Italy a decade ago to live the rest of her life? Well, that gets just 216 words.

Therein lies the yawning gap in her story that I try to fill during this extended conversation with Amanda, who still to this day deals with death threats and hateful attacks on social media. But she has also moved on to plant roots, build a family and fight the good fight on behalf of the wrongfully convicted.

Between seasons of my podcast, I'm posting interesting conversations with fascinating people, starting with Amanda Knox.

It's been a decade since Amanda came home to Seattle after serving 4 years of a 26-year prison sentence for a crime she did not commit.

Putting down roots took some time but she went back to school, got married, had a child and now lives right here on our island. 

Here's a tiny slice of my hour-long conversation with Amanda that goes up on the interwebs this coming Tuesday.

If there's any one thing that is certain about living on this island, it's that everyone has an interesting story about how they wound up here. To wrap up Season Two of Hoytus Interruptus, here's our Vashon origin story.

Big thanks to our island friends Pete Droge and Elaine Summers for providing the music in this episode. 

Happy holidays to you and yours. I'll be back with more stories and new ways of telling them in Season Three sometime after the new year.
