Amanda Knox was arrested for the murder of her flatmate, wrongly convicted, and spent four years in an Italian prison, and she's looking back on her journey in a new documentary.

Mouth of the Wolf follows Amanda’s first trip back to Italy in years to face the people and places that shaped her story.

Amanda Knox and her husband, Christopher Robinson, worked on the project together and the pair described the risky journey back to Italy.

"It was not beyond belief for us that if Amanda returned to Italy to speak the truth, that she could be putting herself in potential jeopardy for being charged with another crime. So that fear was real."

Physicist professor Brian Cox is a bit of a rockstar in the science world.

When he’s not hosting his BBC shows, Brian is touring the world making science engaging and accessible.

He performed his last show to over half a million people globally - and now he’s back and apparently bigger than ever, with his 'Emergence' show set to kick off in June.

"The show really tells the story - it starts with 1600, goes to now, which is only 400 years later, we know a tremendous amount about the universe and how it operates and how old it is, and so on."

Kin by Tayari Jones - who was the author of a wonderful book called An American Marriage a few years ago, which I loved. In this new one, Vernice and Annie are both motherless, close as sisters, growing up in small town Louisiana during the Jim Crow years. Their lives take them in different directions - Vernice to Atlanta and college, whilst Annie heads to Memphis in constant search of the mother who abandoned her. It’s stunningly written, about two Black women navigating the prejudice, misogyny and cruelty of that era and whose bond with each other stands the test of time and distance.

This week on the Sunday Panel, director at 818 Chris Henry and resident economist at Opes Partners Ed McKnight joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more!

What do we make of IAWAI’s proposal to charge new builds a growth charge for water infrastructure maintenance and upgrades? Is that a fairer option than all ratepayers covering the cost? Or should it be spread more evenly?

Are camping costs getting out of hand? Some places are charging $360 a night for a patch of grass. Is this what camping is about? Is this taking the spirit out of Kiwi camping?

We’ve all grown up on the same story, from Romeo and Juliet to Titanic, from ancient myths to modern rom-coms, the message is pretty consistent: somewhere out there is The One.

One epic love. One soulmate. One lightning bolt that strikes once in a lifetime.

But new research published in the journal Interpersona suggests something a little less cinematic.

A large study from researchers at Indiana University’s Kinsey Institute asked more than 10,000 single adults in the U.S. one simple question: “In your lifetime, how many times have you been passionately in love?”

The average answer wasn’t one, it was just over two.

In fact, two was the most common response. Almost one in three people said they’d experienced passionate love twice. That was about twice as many as those who said they’d only felt it once, or never at all. A smaller group reported three or four times and some people said zero.

The idea that passionate love is a once-in-a-lifetime event? The data doesn’t really support that.

One of the interesting things about this study is how similar the answers were across different groups.

Straight, gay, lesbian, and bisexual participants all reported roughly the same number of passionate love experiences. Older respondents reported only slightly more than younger ones.

In other words, the “two loves” pattern held up across age and orientation.

That’s kind of reassuring. It suggests that passionate love isn’t rare, and it isn’t reserved for a select few. Most people experience it at least once and often more than once across their lives.

So if you’ve fallen deeply, passionately in love more than once, you’re not unusual. For many people, love isn’t a single lightning strike, it's something that can happen again.

For centuries, our stories have told us to look for The One, science, gently and without drama, is suggesting that for most of us, it might be The Two.
