Second Chance

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.

Raphael Rowe

As the first person of mixed race with dreadlocks to report for the British Broadcasting Corporation, on both television and radio (Today Programme, Six O’clock News, Panorama and The One Show) Raphael helped re-write the rules on what makes an international BBC correspondent.

He is an experienced investigative journalist and presenter on both prime time television and international platforms such as Netflix. Yet it is being an inspiration to an underserved and diverse audience across the globe that inspires Raphael. He broke the mould on what an international reporter looks like, sounds like and has as a background; He is proud of the fact that in doing so he inspires others.

Raphael currently hosts Inside the World's Toughest Prisons on Netflix, is the host of his own podcast Second Chance and a best selling author of Notorious.
