#80 - A Religious Conviction in Aliens (Michael Shermer)
Why do people believe what they believe? Are religious convictions any different than believing that aliens have visited earth? Dr. Michael Shermer, founding publisher of Skeptic Magazine, host of The Michael Shermer Show, and author of many books, most recently Conspiracy: Why the Rational Believe the Irrational , helps us calibrate our skeptic's compass and find our way through the labyrinth of belief.

#79 - Still on Trial in Italy...
17 years after her arrest in 2007, Amanda is still, somehow, on trial in Italy... Her conviction for criminal slander was overturned in October, 2023, and she was sent back for retrial. What exactly led to this charge in the first place? What will the scope of this new trial be? And what does Amanda think about the recent news that Rudy Guede, the man who killed Meredith Kercher, was just charged with sexual assault and domestic violence against a young woman he began dating a few months after his early release from prison? Those are the questions Amanda and Chris dig into in this episode. For those unfamiliar with the broad outlines of Amanda's wrongful conviction, you may want to first read her book, Waiting to be Heard, or watch the Netflix documentary "Amanda Knox" before listening to this episode.

But these new records also have a kind of Buddhist spirituality to them, and that prompted us to ask: how does one's sense of the universe, and of self and ego evolve over time, and how does that affect the art you make, and vice versa?

#72 - Debunking Innocence (Andrew Hammel)
After very publicly advocating for the innocence of a man named Jens Soering, who spent over 30 years in prison for a double murder he says he didn’t commit, we encountered new information that gave us serious reason to doubt his innocence, and we found ourselves in ethical dilemma. This led us to connect with journalist Andrew Hammel to give a fair heaing to the case for Jens Soering's guilt. Before encountering this new information, we released two other projects featuring Jens Soering: Our previous interview with Jens Soering on Labyrinths: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/47-the-ultimate-putz-jens-soering/id1494368441?i=1000557496553 Our podcast series about the Haysom murders on The Truth About True Crime https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/killing-for-love-the-catalyst/id1439490091?i=1000440039285 Get early access to ad-free episodes, bonus content, and more by supporting Labyrinths on patreon. www.patreon.com/knoxrobinson www.knoxrobinson.com Twitter: @amandaknox | @manunderbridge IG: @amamaknox | @emceecarbon Learn more about your ad choices.

When Joe Berlinger packed up his things to go to West Memphis, Arkansas in 1993, he thought he was going to make a documentary about a satanic ritual murder. Instead, he found a witch hunt determined to condemn three innocent boys. Over the next two decades, Joe and his partner Bruce Sinofsky made three documentaries about the case. Those films played a critical role in the eventual release of the West Memphis Three.

By the time he was sixteen, Jason Baldwin had already felt the sting of prejudice from his community in West Memphis, Arkansas. Kids at the trailer park where he lived had long been shunned by more well off residents of the town. Still, nothing could have prepared him for how vicious these prejudices would turn once the bodies of three eight year old boys were found murdered. Jason and two of his friends were convicted of the murder despite a complete lack of physical evidence. If not for the case coming to the attention of two documentary filmmakers, the West Memphis Three would likely still be in prison today.

It would take twenty four years for Anna and her friends to be fully exonerated, including over a decade in prison. But Anna's story didn't end with her release from prison or even with her exoneration. After prison, Anna found love.

#56 - Before Evil (Brandon Gauthier)
Before Adolf Hitler was a genocidal autocrat, he was a young art student who loved his mother. Before Vladimir Lenin was a Marxist revolutionary, he was the privileged son of loving parents, radicalized by his older brother. And before Joseph Stalin was a ruthless dictator, he was an abused child who was terrified of his father. Why should we know or care about these details? In the face of the crimes these men committed, their early lives seem irrelevant. But Brandon Gauthier argues that it is important to try to have empathy for even the most hateful historical figures. Only by understanding evil, he says, can we stop it from happening again. Brandon stopped by Labyrinths to tell us about his book, Before Evil, that explores the lives of these men before they became the murderous despots we remember them as today.

WHO'S RIGHT? - #01 - Male Sterilization at Birth
Would society be better off if we gave vasectomies to all male children at birth, allowing them to opt in to fertility when they reach a certain age? Or is it simply too dangerous to give that power to the government? That's the question we're debating in this episode of Who's Right?, a series of silly and serious debates that we'll be putting out frequently on the Labyrinths feed. If you see an episode titled Who's Right, know that it's not a standard Labyrinths episode. You can also find Who's Right in video form on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uMi-undp_8&ab_channel=KnoxRobinson And if you want to hear dozens more Who's Right episodes we did over the past year, you can find them in our back catalog on Patreon.

Is it possible to succeed when you fail?

Levine has survived subzero temperatures, hurricane force winds, and sudden avalanches. She's had plenty of triumphs, but she's learned just as much, if not more, from her failures.

#45 - The Ultimate Putz (Jens Soering)
When we first met Jens, he was still serving a life sentence for a double homicide he didn't commit. We devoted a whole season of our prior podcast, The Truth About True Crime, to his case (link below). Now, after 33 years in prison, he's free, and rebuilding his life in his native Germany. We flew to Hamburg to meet him in person for the first time and to learn how he's been navigating the labyrinth of freedom.https://art19.com/shows/the-truth-about-true-crime/episodes/e42542d4-58fb-42bf-a08e-ac9d7a29e144 UPDATE 09/21/23 After very publicly advocating for Jens Soering's innocence, we encountered new information that gave us serious reason to doubt his innocence, and we found ourselves in ethical dilemma. This led us to connect with journalist Andrew Hammel to give a fair heaing to the case for Jens Soering's guilt. You can find that in episode #72 of Labyrinths: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/72-debunking-innocence-andrew-hammel/id1494368441?i=1000628715335 Get early access to ad-free episodes, bonus content, and more by supporting Labyrinths on patreon. www.patreon.com/knoxrobinson www.knoxrobinson.com Twitter: @amandaknox | @manunderbridge IG: @amamaknox | @emceecarbon Learn more about your ad choices.
