Hoytus Interruptus ~ Amanda Knox Cartwheel

Hosts:  Jeff Hoyt

July 23, 2026

Show Notes

In this Hoytus Interruptus SPECIAL, Jeff & Cindy sit down with Amanda Knox and her husband (and collaborator) Christopher Robinson to talk about Amanda’s one-woman show “Cartwheel.” She’s fine-tuning the show over two weeks of local performances before it debuts at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival on August 7th.

The conversation explores how motherhood has impacted Amanda’s journey to make further meaning of her wrongful imprisonment in Italy following the murder of her British roommate. So, how do you land on an age-appropriate way to tell the “Mama Goes to Italy” story to a 5-year-old? And what will it be like to perform this show in the UK, where many of the most salacious of tabloid fabrications about Amanda were born? It’s a lot to unpack in 45 minutes.
