Why Amanda Knox is using comedy to reclaim her story

About this episode

It’s been 15 years since Amanda Knox was released from Italian prison after a court overturned her conviction in the murder of her study-abroad roommate. In the time since, she’s become a writer, an activist for the wrongfully convicted, a mother and now, a stage performer. Knox joins us to talk about her one-woman comedy “Cartwheel," which she debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

And, John Leguizamo has had a busy summer. He joins us to talk about it all — from his new children’s book to his role in Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” where he wore contacts obscuring his sight to play the blind servant Eumaeus.
