Why The Truth Matters More Than Winning (Marcia Clark)
Marcia Clark is a former prosecutor best known for leading the O.J. Simpson trial. Today, she’s a bestselling crime novelist and legal commentator with sharp insights into justice, media, and what it means to be a woman in the public eye.
In this episode of Hard Knox, Marcia shares what she’s learned about the human tendency to reduce people to heroes or villains. She breaks down why complexity matters, how to stay grounded in the face of public scrutiny, and what it takes to pursue truth in a system built on sides. It’s a masterclass in ethical resilience and clarity in an age of clickbait and outrage.

Introducing: Hard Knox
After years of telling stories—my own and others—I realized I wanted to spend more time on the ideas underneath the narrative arcs. So I’m launching Hard Knox, a space to think out loud about what hardship teaches us, what justice demands of us, and how we live with what we can’t undo. You don't have to be stuck in a prison cell to feel trapped in your own life, but we can all turn adversity into insight. With a focus on resilience, post-traumatic growth, and time-tested philosophies, my guests and I will be exploring the ideas that help us navigate the hardest parts of being human, so we can emerge from our traumas stronger, happier, and better equipped to live a fulfilling life. Each week, subscribers also have a chance to Ask Amanda Anything. I’m here to answer your questions, about me, about you, about how to lead a more fulfilling life. And nothing is off the table! To submit your questions and comments, subscribe at amandaknox.substack.com, where you’ll also gain access to ad-free and bonus episodes, subscriber-only essays, and more.

Best Of: Everyone's Biased, But Me (Itiel Dror)
Dr. Itiel Dror is used to facing resistance to his work. It comes with the territory when you're a neuroscientist studying cognitive bias in experts: no one wants to believe they have biases they're not aware of. But the pushback to a paper he published last year was extreme even by Dr. Dror's standards. After the paper came out, the ensuing backlash even threatened his job.
Check out Dr. Dror's latest paper here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1556-4029.14697

Who's Right? - Saying Goodbye
Amanda and Chris explore the emotional complexity of saying goodbye, unpacking why goodbyes can be so difficult, the rituals that help us let go, and how fear of the unknown often keeps us stuck. From awkward Irish exits to dramatic farewell hugs, breakups to burritos, they explore why letting go can be so hard… and sometimes weird. It’s a fond farewell to one chapter, and a wink at what’s coming next.
