This is episode number 160, and today I wanted to show you the episode in which Amanda Knox – a former guest on this podcast – and her husband Christopher Robinson – turn the mic on me. They interviewed me about my work on paedophilia for their brilliant and acclaimed podcast Labyrinths, and I was really impressed with the outcome.At the end of the episode with Amanda, I’m including one of my first ever interviews, with an 18-year-old paedophilie who is the class president at his school. If you’ve already heard it, I hope you don’t mind listening again, especially bearing in mind everything Amanda, Chris and I discussed. If you’ve not yet heard that interview, then prepare for something that is as creepy as it is rare and elucidating. It’s a pretty unique glimpse into the mind of a non offending paedophile. Sign up through wren.co/ontheedge to make a difference in the climate crisis, and Wrenwill plant 10 extra trees in your name!Amanda and Christopher links:https://podfollow.com/1494368441https://twitter.com/amandaknox https://twitter.com/manunderbridge https://www.knoxrobinson.com/labyrinths.html Andrew Gold links:http://youtube.com/andrewgold1http://instagram.com/andrewgold_okhttp://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok Learn more about your ad choices.
