This might be my very favorite podcast interview ever. I hope you enjoy it!

Powerful and intimate, this session draws us into the Unleashed story in a way that only the Criminal podcast team can.

To celebrate five years of Audacious, we reconnect with a few unforgettable guests. Ari Cobb, now 13, reflects on how his relationship with stuttering has evolved since we first met him at age 8. Toby Dorr shares how the death of her former partner, whom she once broke out of prison, reshaped her purpose. It’s a heartfelt look back at stories that changed us and the people who continue to inspire us.

On this episode of Audacious, hear the story of Toby Dorr. She was on the run with John Manard for 12 days after she helped sneak him out of prison in a dog crate.

These guys really have a knack for finding the laughs in a story, even about one of loneliness and redemption.

Dorr’s memoir is an inspirational invitation to look upon life with self-acceptance and love.

Why do people commit crimes?  Are people really bad?  Driven to be bad and consequently unable to be reformed by the prison system?  These are some of the questions we explore today with our guest Toby Dorr, subject of the Lifetime movie Jailbreak Lovers, and author of the number one bestselling memoir, Living with Conviction.

Since her first visit to The Morning Glory Project in 2019, Toby has been making good on her promises to herself and her community.

Writer and public speaker toby dorr shares her harrowing story: falling in love with prison inmate john maynard and helping him escape, their experience on the run and how her life has been thoroughly transformed by these events.

“The attention from him was just like pouring water on a dying plant.  I was ready to just throw it all away to have this moment of significance.”

Toby Dorr has had a wild journey! Alexa and Toby discuss Toby's time in prison and what that taught her, plus her forthcoming book, Living With Conviction.

Everyone has a prison they carry with them. Come listen to how we're empowering women to grow beyond what was possible yesterday, and take on tomorrow!

To change yourself is to change your world. In this episode we have some real talk with a real champion for women's strength.

It’s time to go Under Oath! In this episode, we talk to a true crime legend, Toby Dorr. Back in 2006, Dorr was running a prison dog-training program when she fell in love with a convict and broke him out of prison in a dog crate! Before this event, Dorr was your average citizen. She was married, her kids were grown, and she never committed any crimes. So how did she go from being an average rule-abiding person to getting jail time for assisting in a prison escape? Prepare for a story that is much more complex than it seems.

Instead of focusing on everything she lost, she made a conscious choice to use her twenty-seven months in prison as a period to reflect on her life, heal emotional wounds, plot a course for the future and embrace the sisterhood of women she encountered behind bars.

Difficult times call for difficult conversations. Find your truth with others who walk the same path.

Her how a bad decision turned into a positive healing platform for others.

How you can realize the signs of vulnerability to fraud and social engineering in yourself.

We take this opportunity to talk about life and learning with our good friends at Try to Podcast.

May 25, 2022 Sick and Wrong Podcast interviews author Toby Dorr who helped inmate and lover John Manard escape from a Kansas prison in a dog crate.

Much like the tragic story of Vicki White and convicted murderer Casey White, Toby Dorr helped John Manard escape from custody on February 12, 2006, hiding in a dog crate, and the two lived together in a cabin for 12 days until their capture and arrest in Tennessee. Married mother of two, Toby Dorr (Young at the time) was running a dog program at a Kansas prison when she met inmate John Manard through the dog program and love blossomed between the two, She would eventually spend 27 months in prison for her crime, but she decided to put her time into helping others who felt so desperate to escape the trauma in their lives, that they would do anything. She joins us on this podcast to discuss how she was manipulated, fell in love, and eventually made the decision to help a convicted murderer escape from prison. I have lost friends and co-workers to staff manipulation many times over my career. With Toby's help maybe we can get some insight into how this pattern of behavior can be stopped before it's too late.
