RM195: Steve Whitsett
On this weeks episode, we are joined by Steven (River) Whitsett. He has an amazing story, that I guarantee you will enjoy. He was an incredible guest and was very generous with his time even while being visited by his mother from the states.
River spent time in the Florida department of corrections. And upon is ‘fake’ release, was one of the first people to be civilly committed.
I will leave it there for you to be entertained by the program. There is about 30 minutes of bonus content for patrons. If you’d like to get the extra content, sign up at: https://patreon.com/registrymatters

RM193: Polygraph Deep Dive
This week, we brought a guest on from a NARSOL affiliate to take questions about the polygraph. This is certainly one of the things that PFRs on supervision must regularly deal with. It’s scary, it’s a crazy machine, it’s intimidating. It was a lot of fun to do an episode like this.

RM191: Is The Sex Offender Registry Immoral with TJump
We joined in on TJump’s YouTube channel and had a discussion about the registry to his audience. He typically speaks on issues of morality, and we thought a question of the morality of the registry would resonate with his audience. I hope you enjoy 😉
