  • If you enjoyed this conversation, please do me a little favour and like the video 👍By doing that, you’re helping us out more than you know, thank you 🙏🏽
  • Reach out to your son. He was 12, probably angry and probably spent the last 12 years being told you're a bad person. My dad never reached out and I was 11 when he walked out on me. From my perspective I always thought it was him that needed to fight for my acceptance and attention, forgiveness and by the time I became an adult I felt I never needed him in the first place. However, if he called and apologised to me and was genuinely sincere about it, I would have probably met him, sadly that's never happened. You'll regret it if you never try...

    He’s describing a world that runs parallel to the rest of the world. I was sent to jail because somebody lied and the police believed her story without even investigating because, just like Raphael’s case, if they had done their job of investigating, the truth was right under their noses. I had to rebuild my life, and rebuild my business after paying thousands to the lawyers. Now, I’m launching a tech company and will take that same technology to benefit those of us who have found ourselves without a home. Thank you to both of you
  • He needs to reach out to his son. He is the parent, it is his responsibility. He says he feels it is up to his son to reach out, but as he mentioned that is due to fear. That is a chance he has to take. His son is probably thinking if he really cared about me, he would fight for me. It’s sad. We can never really imagine what he went through being wrongly accused.

    This channel needs at least a billion subscribers. Every episode is absolute gold.

    My dads in prison. I used to visit him a lot years ago but its become too hard for me lately, ive even become afraid to answer his calls . Hearing Raphael's story has struck a cord with me and allowed me to come to a few realisations i was too afraid to allow myself to realise.
  • @andreawilson5420
    my dad murdered my mother when i was 5 i’m now 47 and yes it has effected me only lately. life goes on and everyone suffers in some way . as an adult you know right from wrong . i was never shown affection , i’m a loving person and have a heart of gold
  • @ameliel8792
    Awesome guy! I'd say he's very emotionally intelligent so I'm surprised he is worried about reaching out to his son. Anyone would be lucky to have a dad like this I'm sure.
  • @WoundstoScars
    The psychological impact of being imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit must be astounding. Great interview Steve.
  • @paulomoteso
    Wow!! 2 hours flew by!! Didn't want it to end. Raphael's story should be a movie. Captivating from start to finish. Thank you Steven. This podcast is changing lives.
  • @rosequartz7841
    Love this man's raw honesty and ownership but also his humbleness . ❤
  • What a story, I did a long term sentence, I was guilty of it, I couldn’t begin to think how I would cope with it knowing that I was an innocent man, well done on coming out the other side, as you know some don’t make it. 🙏
  • @SirHefty
    Raphael Rowe is one of the best stories I've ever heard, such a strong minded guy - props to him for the best show on Netflix too
  • Excellent podcast. Reminds me of the miscarriages of justice witnessed by many Irish men and women over the years of the troubles. Dehumanised every step of the way. Glad that these conversations are able to take place. Gang life, racism, terrorism an reasons why. Great work Steve and all the team. Amazing! Thank you.
  • Wow... the diversity of this content just gets better and better. These are the types of stories we need to hear and I'm glad this is over 2 hours. Thanks guys. I'll be commenting again when I'm done.
  • OMG unbelievable they charged board out of his compensation. Fantastic interview and such a lovely man. I am so glad you had an epiphany and changed your life for the better and I hope your son listens to this podcast.
  • Taking bed and board charges from the compensation on a wrongful conviction is absolutely mind blowing.
  • @MrNiceHk
    Interviewer is an absolute natural and shows wisdom and poise well beyond his tender years, kudos. I adore Raphael, such character and thoughtfulness. I binged watched his entire series, such and authentic person and tough as nails which usually comes in a quite package
  • Raphael is legitimately one of the warmest guys on the telly, real genuine sympathetic fellow who has so much kindness in his eyes.
