This episode of the Joe Rogan Experience really highlights how good an interviewer Rogan is. Over the last year, I’ve been catching up on his podcast, and now that I’ve caught up to his weekly schedule, it is enjoyable watching him finetune his craft. And when I have time to watch his podcast – via Spotify – on my 80″ tv, in my living room, the experience transcends into one where I feel like I’m sitting in the room with him and his guest.

Episode #1709 featuring Amanda Knox is funny, moving, and informative. I remember the trial by media of Knox, and to be honest, I hadn’t given her case much thought over the last 10 years – I was exhausted from the coverage, and I always felt I could never get an accurate account of what happened. I knew she had been acquitted, but I was unsure if she was acquitted cause she was innocent or got off on a technicality. She was innocent. It’s incredible how strong and resilient she is, and her story is powerful and a warning of how dangerous and destructive the power of the government – judicial, police, federal – is and the importance of staying vigilant and holding those who violate our rights accountable.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Who watches the watchmen?

In the case of Amanda Knox, no one did.
