Second Chance

Award Winning Second Chance is a podcast series that explores the theme of second chance. It raises the questions who deserves a second chance, who decides who gets a second chance and what a second chance actually means. On this podcast we speak to people from all walks of life about their experiences, some who have been given a second chance in life, some who might be considered to be beyond deserving a second chance. The host of the podcast series is Raphael Rowe, host of the critically acclaimed series ‘Inside the World's Toughest Prisons’ on Netflix. He is also a former correspondent for the world's longest running BBC TV current affairs show Panorama the BBC Radio 4 Today programme as well as a regular contributor on The One Show and Sunday Morning Live on BBC One. In 1988, aged 20, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder and robbery he did not commit. In July 2000, after 12 years in prison, the Court of Appeal quashed his wrongful convictions and he was freed.

This podcast is fascinating! Raphael always comes across extremely attentive and exudes empathy that I imagine is difficult to achieve via audio only. I have learned a lot about others and myself throughout these episodes. Thank you!

Incredible, Inspiring Stories

I highly recommend this podcast for those who are ready to explore the mystery of second chances. Society has created a thin line between those labeled by their lived experiences —-and —-the ones who decide if someone deserve a second chance. Raphael Rowe’s capturing tone and honesty will lead you through stories that inspire, embrace opportunity, and challenge our perception of who has the right to have their voices not only heard but uplifted. Subscribe now.

Excellent Podcast

It’s interesting to hear stories of life from another person’s perspective. Sometimes you get a second chance and I love to hear the stories of what happened, and what came after. Keep them coming!

You must subscribe!!!

This is one podcast that must become a part of your library! I turn to Second Chances when I want to be mentally stimulated and challenged to ask myself some difficult questions regarding my perceptions and beliefs. Also I highly recommend Raphael’s series Inside the World’s Toughest Prisons if you are looking for meaningful content to binge. Honestly anything Raphael puts out is top notch and I will support it!!! You should too, I promise you won’t be disappointed! I’m really hoping for a documentary on his own story next...

It will challenge you to think

As someone who has an education on psychology and counseling, this really makes me think about what a second chance is and how differently it can be applied to everyone’s life. I am loving the dee questions, connecting with all the guests and having such raw, open conversations on such difficult subjects. Well done! Excited for more!
I'm so Bo$$

Give it a listen

Engrossing stories and interesting interviews by Rowe. Can’t wait to hear more.

Thoughtful and inspiring

Learned a lot from the psychotherapist and restorative justice expert in Episode 2. Very inspired by Episode 4. Appreciate Raphael’s authentic style and compassion. Looking forward to future episodes.

Interesting thoughts

Interesting thoughts about who deserves a second chance. In reality, I think we all (with very few exceptions) do deserve a second chance. Thank you for making me think about this subject, Mr. Rowe.

Second Chance

Episode 2 great interviews on the understanding of what designates “Second Chance” Ep. 3 Begins of what the show is really about! Raphael proves his journalistic talent, with interviews of letting people tell their side of the story with hopes to have their name cleared of guilty and given them their innocence even after being released. Very interesting and brilliant! Looking forward to Ep.4 and hope for many more to come!
