Well worth a listen !!
Very thought provoking and interesting, keep
up the good work Randy, I’m really enjoying the podcast. You are clearly an intelligent and thoughtful person and have a lot to offer society. I hope one day the authorities see that and release you after a normal amount of time for your crime and not the 1214 years you got you would be better off outside helping people. Take care man.
