    Feb 26 2026
    Today on the podcast, Randy shares about two recent visitations he had with his wife.

    In-person prison visitations are still new to Randy, and he talks about what it felt like to sit across from her, navigate the rules, and experience those moments together after so much time without physical presence. Randy reflects on the emotions, the small details that mattered, and how these visits are changing the way he moves through his time inside.

    ROR 187: Violated, Part 2
    Feb 12 2026
    This week on the podcast is Part 2 of a three-episode series where Randy is joined by Kyle Hulbert, who is currently incarcerated with him at Buckingham Correctional Center.

    In these episodes, Randy and Kyle go deep into a topic that comes to a lot of people’s minds when they think about prison, but almost no one really talks about it.

    Well, now we’re really talking about it.

    Special thanks to Kyle for being so open and honest about his experience inside.
