Reynolds shares a unique vision of the nodes and their cyclic importance in your life. In this 75 minute presentation, he'll share how you can better work your North and South Nodes and discuss what are the key character-building lessons for the six pairs of Lunar nodes there are and give some ideas on how to implement them. Check Samuel Reynolds' website: https://unlockastrology.com Facebook : Samuel F Reynolds Samuel Reynolds - YouTube And Instagram @sfreynolds Samuel once hated astrology more than other “occult” studies. At 12 years old, when he was a fundamentalist Baptist minister, he used religion to avoid astrology’s lessons. Later, at 23 years old at his Jupiter Return, he realized he mostly disliked astrology because he didn’t know what it all meant. He was born on the “cusp” of two signs and didn’t know which one he was. So, he went to an astrologer. The astrologer’s uncanny insights into his life went beyond the pale of guesswork. Convinced it was all a trick, the newly-minted atheist and academic, at the time, spent 10 years doing charts and studying astrology himself. Now, 30 years later, and his deepest love and life centers around astrology. He consults, writes, and teaches astrology full-time. He has written for Ebony magazine, New York magazine, Tarot.com, Sasstrology.com, Pride magazine, Moonology.com, and The Mountain Astrologer. He’s also duked it out about astrology with Bill Nye the Science Guy on the first season of his “Bill Nye Saves the World” show and featured in Netflix’s “Explained” episode on astrology. He also serves on a few astrology organizational boards, like the International Society for Astrological Research’s board of directors, and he’s an entrepreneur who helps others build their businesses as mind-body-spirit practitioners. His life is a lesson on how you should watch what you hate. It might be the love of your life.

Traditional Fundamentals This lecture introduces the course with a brief overview of traditional astrology and criticisms of it; discusses the classical notion of sect and how it separates horoscopes into two distinct groups (nocturnal and diurnal) to which according to tradition, two different sets of rules apply; and finally, classifies the planets elementally according to the understanding of the Greek Philosopher Empedocles 2. Essential Dignity Essential dignity describes the intrinsic strength of a classical planet based on its zodiacal placement. 3. Planetary Fortitudes, Debilities &Joys While essential dignity reveals a planet’s intrinsic strength, fortitudes, debilities, and joys, being based on house placement and connections to the angles can tell the astrologer something about a planet’s ability to act: its agency. 4. Temperament Temperament theory says that characteristic or habitual inclinations in the human person can be described as resulting from combinations of four “humors” (choleric, melancholic, sanguine, and phlegmatic) that correspond with the four elements (fire, earth, air, and water). 5. Lots (Arabic Parts) Astrology's Arabian or Arabic parts, also known originally as lots, are constructed horoscope points based on mathematical calculations of three horoscopic entities such as planets or angles.

Before April is over, lets travel back to 1986 and review the horror classic APRIL FOOL’S DAY! Midnight Jury Episode 309 *Click Link Below* http://wlwstudios.com/wp-content/episodes/MidnightJury309.mp3

Apple has officially announced Apple Podcast Subscriptions, a way for podcasters to offer paid podcasts directly through the Podcasts app. We’ll cover all the fine details (how it works, pricing, and some of the finer details) and they I’ll give my thoughts, and we’ll do some price comparisons. (more…) View on separate page Transcript What Apple Podcast Subscriptions Means for Podcasters [00:00:00] Hey, everybody, Joe, Casabona here and welcome to a special bonus episode of how I built it. Earlier this week, Apple announced that they were launching Apple podcast subscriptions as a way for podcasters too allow for bonus, ad free, or extra episodes for people who pay a monthly fee. Now, if this sounds familiar, there are lots of other services that offer this – Memberful, Patreon. [00:00:40] I offer my own through the build something club, uh, and I wanted to give my thoughts on this. So this is the audio from a YouTube video that I will link in the show notes over at howibuilt.it slash. Apple dash podcasts. Uh, but before we get into that, I do want to tell you about the build something club. Uh, this launched a few months ago now, and it’s, it’s going pretty strong. [00:01:08] You can learn more over at buildsomething.club, but it is a membership for this podcast. So if you enjoy this show and you want to support it directly, you can join an exclusive community. To help you build something more. And what you’ll get in exchange for just $5 a month is longer ad free episodes, pre and post show conversations and bonus behind the scenes episodes. [00:01:37] You’ll also get access to a members only community. Uh, we’ll do a member interviews and advanced look at the schedule deals and discounts I’m trying to work out and lots, lots more. So that’s over at buildsomething.club. And if you are listening to this. Before April 30th. So as I record this, you have about a week. [00:01:58] If you’re listening to this before April 30th, you can get 25% off for being a founding member, which means you’re looking at. Uh, instead of $5 a month, $3 and 75 cents a month, or instead of $50 a year, you’re looking at 37 50 a year. And that will be the price for as long as you keep the membership. So again, if you are a builder or a creator, The build something club will help you go farther. [00:02:27] It will give you access to exclusive content, add free content, longer episodes, and you will join a community of builders. Again, that’s over buildsomething.club. Thanks so much. Now let’s get on with the show today. We are talking about Apple podcasts. So in case you missed it, uh, Apple recently announced that they are a leading. [00:02:52] The next chapter of podcasting with Apple podcast subscriptions. And basically what this means is anybody who has a podcast on Apple podcasts can start offering things like member only feeds ad free episodes and other bonuses that they talk about here in this press release. Now, uh, macstories also has really good coverage on this, where they point out that. [00:03:20] Podcast creators can participate for $19.99 per year. Uh, plus, uh, 30% of all subscribers for the first year that drops down to 15% for the second year. And we’ll, we’ll get into that in a moment, but I think it’s really interesting. It’s an interesting move. Uh, Apple. Announced that starting in iOS, uh, 14.5, the subscribe button in the Apple podcast app would change to a follow button. [00:04:00] And a lot of people speculated that something like Apple podcast subscriptions was the reason. Now semantically speaking follow is a lot clearer that you don’t have to pay for [00:04:12] something, but after 16 years, why would they make this change? And now it’s a lot clearer. So, uh, in this press release, they do show a, uh, or they talk about companies like NPR, the athletic Tenderfoot. [00:04:25] They mentioned, uh, a, uh, luminary original. Uh, so luminary is getting in on this action with, uh, Dave Chappelle. Uh, one of his podcasts or his podcast with other people I should say. And then, like I said, Apple podcasts, uh, we’ll be taking 30% that drops to 15% after the first year. This is exactly how the app store works for in-app purchases as pointed out in, uh, in the Mac stories article, and I’ll link all of these in the description down below. [00:05:02] If you want to read them yourself. So I did have a couple of questions before I start waxing poetic here, uh, about some of the fine print. Six colors has really good coverage [00:05:15] on the fine print. Uh, one is, will I be able to sell my own ads? Will I be able to sell my own sponsorships and ads and sponsorships, uh, can be still using the paid podcasts, Apple, doesn’t get a cut of those. [00:05:30] Um, and. Uh, this is Dan Morin’s article here on six colors. He points out that this isn’t exclusive. So if you run a membership program already, you can just add Apple podcast subscriptions on top of it. Now this is really good, right? Because last stats I saw, it was less than 50% of people now are using Apple podcasts. [00:05:55] Spotify is taking a big cut and there are dozens of other podcasts apps. And directories. So if we are just locking down our subscriptions to Apple podcasts, we’re leaving a lot of money on the table there. So I’m glad to see that this is not an [00:06:18] exclusive deal. Uh, there’s one more article. I want to point out. [00:06:22] And that’s from Nathan Gathwright. I hope I’m saying that correctly. He. Did the great service of sifting through the Apple podcast program agreement and related documentation. And he points out 11 things. I’m not going to read all 11 of these things. Again, I will link that in the description for this video, but he points out that Apple for the first time ever is offering first time hosting. [00:06:48] Uh, you can also implement a DRM solution on anything that Apple is hosting. You are authorizing Apple to create transcripts as well as authorizing them or giving them the right to use your podcast content to train machine learning. Uh, this 1.8 is a really interesting one. This agreement covers everywhere. [00:07:11] Apple podcast may be available including Android. So perhaps we will see Apple launch and Android. Uh, uh, uh, counterpart, [00:07:21] I think that this is really important because Apple has made a big deal about services revenue over the last few years, even before Apple TV plus rolled out. So this is another offering that they could have for their services revenue. [00:07:38] So it makes sense to be on every possible platform imaginable. Again, they, they place no restrictions, uh, including advertising. And the biggest, the other question, the other big question I had was around ownership who owns the customer data and they own the customer relationship. They can offer a refund, which means, and I’m not an app developer or an Apple app developer. [00:08:03] At least I reckon that you don’t get direct access to the customer data either. So. That is a quick overview of everything, including some of the questions that I had when I initially wrote up my notes document. [00:08:24] So what does this mean for podcasters? Well, I think it’s great for anyone. Who doesn’t have the time, money or ability to set up their own platform. [00:08:35] It’s a lot easier if you’ve taken the time to put your podcast on Apple podcast, to log into podcasts connect, and either add a subscription to your current podcast or create a new members only subscription. However, 30%. Even if it’s just the first year is up noxious, Apple was late to the game on this. [00:08:58] So they claim that they can take 30% of apps in the app store because app store is what made the apps and the app developers. They can’t lay claim to this at all. Uh, private podcasts have been around for years. Patrion has been around for years. My podcast hosts Castro’s, which we’ll talk about later. [00:09:19] Recently rolled out private feeds, uh, earlier this year or late last year for anybody with a plan. [00:09:27] So Apple is just applying their current pricing model because they know people are going to go along with it. Uh, and just to do some quick math, uh, I pay, uh, I let’s see, I pay, uh, for the growth plan on Casto. [00:09:44] So that’s $490 per year. And. Here’s the thing I would need to pay for podcast hosting anyway. Right. So this is not necessarily. Uh, I’m not saving anything by putting a private podcast on Apple podcasts. I would still need to sign up for some hosting plan. Now again, if we, if we go back to, uh, Nathan’s article, right? [00:10:13] He says that for the first time ever Apple is offering first party podcast hosting. So you can create a show with subscriber only benefits. I am unclear. On this, if it means that you can also just create a free show and [00:10:30] Apple’s going to host it, I know that there’s some confusion around that. So, uh, once I dig in, I’ll probably do a up, but if they’re like eliminating the need for podcast hosting, uh, that, that is. [00:10:43] A big deal. And I think it’s a buried lead. Uh, so I don’t necessarily think that is the case, but again, if we go back to the Casto hosting, I pay $400, $490 a year, uh, for that now I don’t necessarily need a website host, but I do have one for my podcast. I host multiple sites on there, but let’s just say I pay. [00:11:05] A a hundred bucks a year or 200 bucks a year for hosting this website specifically, it’s probably around, uh, it’s probably closer to 200 bucks a year if I divide everything equally. So now we’re looking at around 700 bucks a year. Uh, and then I have a plugin restrict content pro for the membership side of things to accept payments. [00:11:29] I’m paying 3% on. Uh, [00:11:33] I’m paying 3% on credit card fees. Right? So if, if we take all of that into account, uh, and let’s just say, I have, you know, a hundred subscribers, I’m charging five bucks a month that, uh, that’s 500 bucks a month. 30% of that to Apple is 200 bucks a month. Uh, and so that’s going to end up being 2,400 bucks a year. [00:12:00] Uh, then dropping down to half of that. So 1200 bucks a year, uh, for the privilege of being on the Apple platform. So I think that pricing. Is a little bit obnoxious. If we look at, uh, something like member full, which I also think is, is again, okay. I should point out here that I’m a web developer. I have the skill and the know how to set up my own platform. [00:12:27] So being as frictionless as possible is a huge, [00:12:36] huge benefit. Right? It’s one of the reasons that I decided to go with community. Uh, with circle for my community, right? Because I didn’t want the friction of having to set up my own. So I’m not knocking the pricing model because you can do it cheaper on WordPress or whatever. [00:12:51] Uh, time is an important, uh, investment to look at here. But again, uh, if we’re looking at member full, starting out, it’s $0. Uh, a month and 10% of a transaction fee. If you start paying for the pro plan where you can have a lot more stuff, you’re looking at $25 a month, plus a 4.9% transaction fee. So if we’re looking at, you know, minus the 3% or so that the credit cards tick, or we’re looking at an almost 2% transaction fee, I think that’s perfectly reasonable for giving you a vehicle to make money. [00:13:37] Right. And this is the whole [00:13:39] thing, right? All of these services are giving us a vehicle to make money with our content. Now, patriarchy, I did a podcast episode about this, where. In my members, only part of the episode, I actually share the numbers that is free. If you go over to, uh, build something.club, that’s going to be the, the, the sample episode that I provide to you to show you kind of what you get in the club. [00:14:02] So if you’re interested in the numbers, I dig in deep there, but, um, Patrion took somewhere between like 10 and 14%, I think. And I wasn’t paying for it. So I know they have like paid tiers where they take less of a, a cut, but, uh, even that is less than the 30% is less than the 15%. So I think that it’s Apple and Apple can do the things that they want to do because they’re Apple. [00:14:33] But I think that, um, That is, that’s a big cut and I know it’s going to make things a lot easier. Uh, but it’s a big [00:14:42] cut. Uh, they also say right, they announced better discovery methods. Uh, so, uh, they have completely redesigned the podcast app to accommodate some of these things. And I think that’s. I think that’s really important. [00:14:55] And we’ll see if it works out well for, uh, independent creators, right? Because right now, most of the podcasts you see are super predictable. As far as their popularity goes, it’s like the NPR podcasts. It was Joe Rogan until Joe Rogan went to, to. Spotify, uh, and even the podcasts that they promote in the press release the athletic and extremely well-known premium, uh, sports outlet, uh, sports news outlet, uh, NPR, and then luminary, uh, which they touted again, Dave Chappelle’s show. [00:15:30] So I really hope that when they say they’re improving discovery, it’s going to benefit. Independent creators. Uh, and again, something that six colors points out, uh, that’s really interesting is that [00:15:45] Apple will create and make available transcripts. I have transcripts from my podcast. They aren’t cheap though. [00:15:52] If you have a podcast that’s not making any money. And you are trying to look for ways to cut costs. Transcripts is one of those ways. I know people who even have extremely popular podcasts who don’t think transcripts are worth the time. That’s a whole other argument, but seeing Apple do this is really great because I think that will help with discovery. [00:16:15] Right? If you have a verbatim transcript, Of your podcast and then people search for a specific terms, things that you mentioned that you maybe didn’t put in the description that will help people discover. So, uh, that is, uh, that’s. Those are my general thoughts. Um, I think that it’s great for people who have no technical know-how and they just want to click a few buttons and have a members only podcast. [00:16:43] I think this is great for that. I think 30% for the first year. Is [00:16:48] an obnoxious amount, but maybe it’s not right. Maybe two, if you’re charging five bucks a month, uh, maybe $2 is too much, but we’ll just round, I guess. Um, uh, maybe $2 per subscriber is totally worth it for you. And then again, that drops down, uh, after the second year. [00:17:09] But I think that that’s, if, if where, if we’re comparing Apple to other services where other services make your podcast. Available everywhere and not just in the Apple podcast app. I think 30% is a lot of money. Uh, and so, uh, but I I’m, I’m excited to see how this works. Um, I’m going to try it out. Um, my questions, can I also pro uh, promote non Apple podcast, subscription memberships? [00:17:34] Uh, it seems like this is again, six colors pointed this out. Uh, it seems like it’s not exclusive, so I’ll be able to say so if you’re an Apple podcast, subscriber, subscribe, subscribing Apple podcasts, or if you want to get. More than just exclusive episodes. You can [00:17:51] head over to build something.club. Right. [00:17:53] Um, so we’ll, we’ll see how that shakes out. They it’s, I think it’s really clear that they’re not going to take any sponsorship money from you, which is good. Uh, and then will I be able to get the subscribers out of Apple podcasts? Will listeners be able to take their membership with them? If they want to switch apps looks like no. [00:18:13] Um, Apple owns the customer relationship there though. I will say there is, there was this, this checkbox incident, uh, as I record this, the new Apple pie that the new podcast connect website that Apple’s rolling out to support, uh, subscriptions has had a lot of bugs and one of them is a checkbox that says, like, make this available everywhere. [00:18:34] So maybe, maybe users will be able to. Uh, take their membership outside of the Apple podcast app. Again, that remains to be seen. I really hope that is the case though. All right. So that’s everything I have to say on the matter. Uh, if you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments below, [00:18:54] uh, maybe I’ll do a pot, uh, a follow-up video on this. [00:18:57] I’ll certainly have, um, other, uh, other takes and tutorials, like how to manage multiple memberships and how to actually set up. Uh, a subscription in Apple podcasts, but that’s it for now. All right. So that is everything that I have. Uh, thanks so much for listening to this episode. If you liked it, be sure to share it with a friend, let them know. [00:19:24] Hey, this Joe Guy has some pretty good takes on some stuff. Uh, if you want all of the show notes, you can head over to how I built.it/apple-podcasts. This is a bonus episode, so, uh, it’s not going to have the normal number at the end if you’re a regular listener.

Indiana’s unemployment rate for April skyrocketed to almost 17 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Friday. That is, by far, the highest level of unemployment ever recorded in the state. April’s 16.9 percent unemployment rate smashes the previous record of 12.6 percent, recorded in 1982. As the month ended , more than 90,000 workers in manufacturing and 40,000 in accomodation and food services were accessing unemployment benefits. Department of Workforce Development Commissioner Fred Payne says he knows some people have been waiting many weeks for benefits. Those are typically due to issues with deductible income, employment status confusion and simple data entry problems. However, he says internal agency data suggests that more people are starting to go back to work. “Even though it’s a small percentage of time that we’re looking at, we’re seeing fewer continuing claims being filed or request for payments on a weekly basis,“ he says. Before April, the unemployment rate

Before April 1954, there was a universal belief that man was not physically capable of running a mile in less than four minutes. This was accepted beyond doubt because many people who had tried failed. It was believed therefore that it was not possible for anyone to do it. Roger Bannister, broke the record and run a mile in less than four minutes (3:58min) for the first time, the headlines read: THE FOUR MINUTE BARRIER BROKEN. Did he just wake up one day and went into the race? You should also know that over 20,000 people have from since, run a mile in less than four minutes and these numbers include high school students. The question is, how could they? In this episode, I share with you what we need to do to also break our barriers.

Jacqui Ford, Jacquelyn Ford Law, P.C.: Welcome to Your Best Defense podcast. My name is Jacqui Ford. And we are talking this week about sex offender registration. It’s part of the important things you have to consider when you're charged with sex offenses in Oklahoma. Is whether or not you're going to have to register. How long you have to register. And what are some of the constraints within that. registration I'm joined here today with my friend, mentor and law partner Mr. Jack Dempsey Pointer. Jack literally wrote the book on sex offender registration in Oklahoma. He is a go to expert in the field. Lawyers, prosecutors, judges alike rely on his expertise in understanding the sex offender registration act and how it is applied to offenders within the state. So, thanks for joining us Jack. Jack Dempsey Pointer, Jacquelyn Ford Law, P.C.: Miss Ford, thank you very much for your solicitous remarks concerning me. I appreciate that very much. But I’m still going to be a little bit hesitant to talk about some of this. JF: Okay. JDP: Simply, because it’s so fact intensive – literally fact intensive. I had an individual call me about sex offender registration. The man was a Kansas resident. This is out in the panhandle He was a Kansas resident who was convicted of a sex crime in Oklahoma. He then moved, he didn’t move, he just went back to Kansas on probation. And he had to register in Kansas. There are some provisions, I don’t know all the particulars because the attorney’s not coming in until next week. But apparently there are some provisions in the Kansas registration scheme would allow him to get off of sex offender registration. That’s an unusual situation. You’re convicted in one state requiring registration – a crime that requires registration. And you’re serving your registration period in another state that has different provisions. It almost sounds like a law school quiz. But, it basically is. But that remains to be seen. One of the important things, and the reason I’m kind of hesitant to talk about in any specifics, is simply because the law is written so, and has been amended so many times. I can give you just a perfect example. Before April 26, 2004, and individual had to register 10 years from the date of the conviction. After April 26, he had to register 10 years from the date of completion of the sentence. Now, that’s kind of important because the completion of the sentence, for instance, if a guy got 20 years suspended sentence, he doesn’t complete the sentence until 20 years after his JF: Conviction date. JDP: Yeah, after his conviction has expired. And, so, the guy would have to register 10 years after that. That’s a total period of 30 years, as compared to 10 years. JF: And the laws just continue to get worse, it seems like. Each year, more and more crimes are registerable offenses. The Department of Corrections has their own administrative policies. And the legislation really isn’t, at this time, geared towards limiting the amount of registration. Or giving any relief to the offenders. It’s more geared up towards making people register longer, and limiting rights and options of offenders for longer periods of time. And with it being ever-changing, that’s why it’s so important that we find criminal defense lawyers that are qualified in defending sexual offense crimes, and can and understand and explain this to folks. Because it’s complicated. JDP: A qualified attorney in sex offender defense, or sex offender cases, is a critical decision. You’re not going to open up the phone book, or get on the internet, or anything like that, and find somebody who says, “Hey, I’m a sexual defense attorney.” We can’t say specialization in Oklahoma, but a lot of us are. But finding somebody qualified to represent you in a sex charge is important because if there’s a conviction, then sex offender registration comes to the forefront immediately. And not only does if affect where you live. It also affects how you can go to school, church, the things of that nature. JF: It affects the romantic relationships that you’re allowed to be in. It affects the internet use, and computer use. JDP: And who can live in your house. Okay? In another words, if one of the victims of your act of, lewd molestation or something like that, if one of your children is the victim, you can’t live in the house. If you can’t move the kid out, you can’t live in the house. However, grandchildren, step-children, so-on and so-forth, it they were not victims of the crime – that’s okay. Because, in this day and time of blended marriages and divorce and all that kind of good stuff, you get a lot of questions about that. But back to this qualified attorney to represent you in sex offense charges. That individual will, if they don’t know the specifics of sex offender registration, and quite frankly, if they do I’d shocked. Because it’s an entire statute, of 10 or 12 statutes, that are constantly being amended, and also amended by court cases. They at least know to pick up the phone and call somebody like me who knows something about this stuff to answer these questions. Because the judge is supposed to, at the time of sentencing, designate this individual that was convicted, whether it be a jury or plea or whatever, a level, an offense level for registering. And that’s very important. Because in the state of Oklahoma there are three levels. Number one, two, and three. The Oklahoma Department of Corrections has set forth those levels in their regulations. And very few people know how to get to those sites, too. But, you know, the first level is like 20 years. You also, in the state of Oklahoma, can commit a first offense, and actually be designated as a habitual or aggravated sex offender. Which means that you got to register for life. Registration for life means just that. Life. No relief whatsoever. We’ll talk about relief in a little while. But when you’re talking about committing the following acts as a first offense, to become habitual sex offender you got to have a second conviction of a sex crime from any particular date. Or, you enter the state of Oklahoma after 1997 and been convicted of additional sex crimes. They declare you a habitual sex offender, and you register for life. An aggravated sex offender, and this is the one people worry most about. If you commit the crime, the first crime, just the first time (child sex abuse, incest, forcible sodomy, rape one or two, lewd acts with a child, and then rape by instrumentation, or the person was a victim in custody of a school or state institution, etc.) you’re declared an aggravated sex offender and you must register for life. Period. Law enforcement shall notify the family of the offender, the victim of the offender, neighbors, churches, parks, schools, convenience stores, businesses, and other places kids may hang out, nursing, residential, assisted living, and adult day care centers that there’s a habitual or aggravated sex offender living in the neighborhood. Or living in a town. There’s no limit on what they can do. JF: There’s really no hiding from this. JDP: None. JF: So, let’s talk a little bit about how you find yourself getting on the sex offender registration. If you don’t want to be a registered sex offender, it’s real easy to say, “Don’t commit a sex crime.” Right? JDP: Yes. JF: But how is it we find ourselves on the sex offender registration, and what does registration really mean? What does it mean to have to register as a sex offender? JDP: Well, to register as a sex offender, it kind of depends on where you live. In metropolitan areas Oklahoma City, Tulsa, probably Lawton, and maybe of the larger towns, they have sex offender registration units, of those police departments. I think maybe even Canadian County, El Reno has one. You have to go over there, and within three days of moving into the county, or within three days of being convicted, and actually sit down, go make an appointment, find out where it’s at, go sit down, and fill out the information – where you live, social security number, so-on and so-forth, and all that good stuff – and register. The registration requirements depend on what the crime was, how long you’re on registration for, and things of that nature. I mean, there is a Department of Corrections sex offender registration which writes the rules and regulations. But at a local level, you actually sit down to do that. JF: And how many times do you have to that? Do you just do it one time? JDP: You do that one time. Unless, if you move to, say Oklahoma City to Guthrie, you got to go register with the local police department. And the police department’s probably going to send you over to the sheriff’s department. Okay? Fill out the same paper work. So-on and so-forth. Do you have a DOC number? Even though you have not been in prison, you still have a DOC number in the sex offender registration unit. They’ll pull you up, and they say, “Okay. You got to register like this.” The worst kind of sex offender registration is the habitual and the aggravated. You got to, like, every 90 days go in and say, “I live here. I still live there.” You verify and so-on and so-forth like that, for the rest of your life. JF: Are you subject to interrogation or questioning from law enforcement while you’re registering? JDP: It really depends on who you’re involved with. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals held years, and years and years ago, that when the Department of Corrections had a sex offender unit, and a sex offender treatment plan, that you could not refuse to say, “Hey, I did it.’ Some of the people that went were in prison. They said they we’re wrongfully accused, along with wrongfully convicted. And they were back in there for the sex offender, and they refused to say, “I did it.” Well, at that point in time they were kicked out of the program. Well, one person didn’t like that so he took it to the Oklahoma Court of Crims. And the Oklahoma Court of Criminal appeals said, “Oh, no. You don’t have to admit to it. All you do, is you just go in and do the program and so-on and so-forth.” JF: Acknowledge that you we’re convicted of it without having to admit guilt. JDP: That program no longer exists – state funding. Usually, it’s not a situation of why their trying to interrogate you, or anything like that. When there is a sex offense committed, I think one example here in Oklahoma City was somebody was driving down a street in a pick up truck, and he looked like this, and so-on and so-forth. Making lewd remarks to kids, and trying to get them in the truck. Well, the Oklahoma City police has a handy-dandy list they can pull up. What kind of car the person drives. Where they live. Where the proximity to the area where this took place. And they can go out and talk to these people. So, I have not decided whether sex offender registration is an effort to keep people from re-offending, or it’s just a huge monstrous pot for the cops to be able to go and check out people who are recidivist, and predators, and are always going to be available to the list. I personally am of the opinion that sex offender registration, has never, never stopped an individual from committing sex act after they have been convicted. It is a way, and they use it, and they use it very, very heavily. They rely on it very heavily to go out and talk to people about – you’re kind of automatically a suspect if you want to do it like that. JF: Well, it keeps the neighbors on alert, too. So, the government then gets to pry into your personal and private life. Not only by interviewing those around, but understanding is also during your registration process they get to ask you all kinds of questions. “Who lives in your home? Who are you dating? Does that person have children? How does that interaction work? And so, part of the registration is having to be able to answer those questions that the average Joe is not going to have answer those questions to law enforcement. So, we kind of compel people to give up their Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. And we’ve compelled them also to kind of waive some of their Fourth Amendment rights to be free from warrantless searches and seizures. JDP: If you’ve committed a murder, and you’ve served your time, and you come out, and you’re on parole, they’re not going to ask you all those questions. They want to know where you live. If you’ve got a phone. Where you work. The car you kind of drive. But not all those other questions. Murder, you know? Somebody committed a murder. Sex offender registration they dig in as far as they can. And it’s not an interrogation, but it comes across like one, because if you don’t answer these questions we’re not going to supervise you. I want to talk about people, and where people live. JF: Okay. JDP: There are two different zones of prohibitions for sex offenders. One is 2000 feet. And that’s from property line to property line of any school, church, day care, playground, any state institution that deals with children or anything like that. You can’t live in that area. There’s a second one called a safety zone of 300 feet from a school that sex offenders cannot loiter. You can’t go out there and park your car in the parking lot at a grade school and smoke cigarettes and watch the kids. Bang. That’s 300 feet. They don’t need any probable cause. They come in and say, “Hey, are you a registered sex offender?” “Yes, I am” You’re within 300 feet, there not going to tell you just, “Move,” they’re going to arrest you. The 2000 feet exclusion. They’ve had some problems with that. You start taking 2000 feet, and I think in Cleveland County, in Norman, I don’t think there’s any place in Noman where you can live. JF: I think they’ve almost limited that in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, too. And when you know this, you start paying attention. You look around and there’s a swing-set on the side of the road. That’s not in a neighborhood. It’s attached to a church, or a day care. It’s just a swing-set in a kept area with the grass mowed. We’re calling that a park. And those swing-sets and playgrounds, are specifically designed to keep sex offenders out. I know one of my old neighborhoods in Edmond had three separate playground areas for one, little neighborhood. And that was why. Because the big neighborhood couldn’t protect everybody with their one playground. So they put one at each entrance, and one in the middle. JDP: Very few people realize this, that when a subdivision, nowadays, is created, I think it’s mandatory that they build in a park - for the subdivision. Or some type of facility where there is a swimming pool, or something like that, where people can go and kind of enjoy themselves, and everything like that. I had a case one time where an individual was charged with being within 2000 feet of park. I drove out there, and there wasn’t any swing-set. There wasn’t anything. There wasn’t anything. It was vacant land. It had never been funded. It had never been built. But it doesn’t make any difference. It was designated as a park, and actually given to the city of, I can’t even remember what town it was, Bank. It was owned by the city. And, even though it wasn’t a functioning park, the guy couldn’t live within 2000 feet of it. The one exception, and this is a huge exception, if you own property, a house, before you were convicted of a sex offense, and it was within 2000 feet of a, one of these prohibited places, you can still go back there and live. They cannot kick you out. It would be a punitive act. There is an Attorney General’s opinion from the state of Oklahoma specifically on that issue. They can’t make you move. Now, rental? Yeah, you’re done. You can’t go back and rent. And it says if you intentionally establish a residence within the 2000 foot, you can be arrested. Whether you’re habitual, or whether you’re a first-time registration, or 15 years, or 10 years, or whatever the hell it is. JF: So, when we talk about these people getting arrested. They’re getting arrested and charged with a new felony of failure of failure to comply with the Oklahoma Sex Offender Registration Act. Right? JDP: Yes. That’s absolutely correct. JF: And that new felony can be used, not only to violate the probation that you may be placed on, but also to give you new time that you’d be facing incarceration on new charges. JDP: And that’s absolutely true. And, in other words, it’s just not, like I gave the example of the guy that was sitting in the parking lot of the school. He probably on some type of probation. And, in other words, he spent some time in prison, or he got probation after he’s still serving out his suspended sentence. There are serious, serious consequences about them doing that. Now, whether they’re all told this – they’re supposed to be told this, and they sign a certificate when they leave prison. By the way, when you’re in prison your sex offender registration period does not run. It only begins to run when you leave prison. Now, these are, the applicability of these provisions are specific statutory provisions of which a person must be convicted to be a sex offender registration - that’s been held by courts. Abuse, neglect, and exploitation of a child under 18, if sexual offense, abuse is involved. Attempt to commit a felony, if sexual offense is involved. Kidnapping, if sexual abuse or exploitation is involved. Caretaker abuse, if sexual assault. Child endangerment, if sexual abuse is involved. Trafficking in children, incest, sodomy, forcible sodomy, child stealing, if sexual abuse is involved. That’s the example that’s that woman that went over, stole her kid, and they were in a domestic dispute. She went over to seize and kept him over there, no sexual abuse involved. Just straight kidnapping, child stealing. Indecent exposure. Computer drawings, CDs, you know, all that kind of good stuff, for child porn. Obscene materials, where minors are procured. Obscene materials regarding, or appearance involved, or children involved. Possession of child pornography. Publishing, distribution of child pornography. Aggravated possession of child pornography. Import, distribute, child pornography. Facilitate sex with a minor. Trafficking obscene materials. Procuring a child under 18 for prostitution. Procure and restrain a child for prostitution. Rape by instrumentation. Rape 1 and 2. And lewd molestation. That involves about 20 or 30 separate crimes in that one statute. And you’ve really got to use it very, very, carefully. Those are all the crimes that, right now, are, you have to register. Now, one other thing, is there’s several crimes that are not on there. ‘Peeping Tom’s’ haven’t seen that. There’s are some exceptions, but they pretty well get them. But, like I said, these are the ones. And most of them are 85% crimes, too. These guys serve 85% of their time. So, that’s how you get on the sex offender registration list. JF: Is there any way to get off, once you’re on? JDP: Yes. There is, and we call that, I think. If you are a Level 1, which means you’re registered for 10 or 15 years, you have not been arrested, arrested only for a felony or a misdemeanor. Now, it remains to be seen, a traffic stop is not an arrest. You’re being detained. So, you got to be straight – no arrests. You were not convicted of felony or a misdemeanor in 10 year, since a release from confinement. You petition where you reside to remove the risk number, and no longer register. The district attorney, of course, has the right to object to that. And, the district judge must, must, agree to that. And then they can take you off. There is one other thing, too. And this we call the ‘Romeo and Juliet’ registration. JF: ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is the scenario, wherein the teenagers who love each other engage in a consensual act. And they fail to recognize that they are not lawfully of consenting to one another. So, it’s a strict liability crime. We’ll talk about some of that in some of the other podcasts. But ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is the boyfriend/girlfriend, no harm, no force, no violent act. Just two kids who didn’t know they couldn’t do what they did. Right? JDP: That’s correct. And, by the way, I just recently heard of some people who were being prosecuted for a sex crime starting at the age of 10. So, you need to be careful. This ‘you show me and I’ll show you’ and this ‘doctor stuff’ for kids is gone. JF: Because sex offender registration we don’t have to spend a lot of time talking about it . But the registration applies to juveniles as well. JDP: It does. JF: If you’re in juvenile court, and you’re charge with a sex crime, especially if it’s one those enumerated as an aggravated sex crime, you may very well be facing lifetime registration before you even hit the age of an adult. JDP: That’s absolutely true. ‘Romeo and Juliet’ – the removal of the requirement to even register as a sex offender. If you’re convicted of 21 OS 1111.1, that’s second-degree rape. And, 21 OS 1114, that’s first-degree rape, or rape by instrumentation. You have no prior violation of the above two sections. You’re required to register based solely on violation of those two section. And your age requirement. Listen to this, the defendant is not more than four years older than the victim. And the victim was at least 14 years of age, or older. But, the victim, not more than 17-years old at the time of the violation. I know that seems a little, if you stop and think about it, the numbers don’t add up. Well, yeah, they do. If the kid’s 17, we’re into an adult situation. If the defendant meets the above requirement, then they can be considered for removal. You must petition the court where the conviction occurred for removal. And the requirement must allege that removal does not conflict with the Adam Walsh Sex Offender Registration Notification Act. And that, is offenses involving consensual sexual conduct, if an adult, or was at least 13-years old. And the offender was not older than four years older than the victim. And then there’s a bunch of other stuff. And you may not have to even register then. JF: But, of course, that’s not automatic. You’re going to have to hire a lawyer, petition the court, have a hearing, and the court’s going to make that determination for us. JDP: This is not what we call pro se. Where you go in and say, “You know, the girl was 15. My son was 18. That works.” The court’s going to, “Who’s you lawyer?” That’s exactly what it comes down to. This is not something that you get training wheels to learn how to get out of automatic sex offender registration. JF: So, when we’re looking for lawyers, not only in our original charge, that might give rise to sex offender registration, but as we’re already registered. And we need relief. We have find someone who has experience dealing with the Sex Offender Registration Act. Because, quite frankly Jack, let’s be real serious, most lawyers don’t like touching these cases. JDP: No, they hate them. JF: And most lawyers will say whatever they can to get that person off the phone. And you can’t necessarily rely on the advice that’s given to you if you’re talking to someone who has some pretty strong experience, and has worked in this field for quite some time. JDP: That’s correct. That’s correct. You cannot, under any situation, when you’re involved with an allegation of committing a sex offense. That’s almost as bad, as I just pointed out here, it’s worse than murder. I mean, the consequences go on forever. JF: Absolutely. JDP: And, you know, think about this, if you commit murder, you’ve served your time, and you were on parole, and you committed another crime. You’re going to go back to prison. They’re not going to charge you with another crime. You go back to prison. Sex offender? You get caught within 300 feet of a school. You’re just sitting there loitering. You’re going to get charged with loitering within 300 feet, and you’re going to be charged. And if you’re on probation, these charges are probably going to be in addition to whatever probation is going to be revoked. JF: This is a ‘stack on’ kind of statute. We can stack on, and pile on the charges. JDP: And the reason that sex offenders are treated so harshly is they don’t have much of a constituency among the electorate. JF: Well, in our Sex Offender Registration Act, one of my big criticisms of it, is it doesn’t really differentiate on the registry the difference between a home invasion serial rapist committing violent acts, offensive to anybody who you ask, versus the ‘Romeo and Juliet’ situation. It’s not like if I want to Google up the sex offenders in my neighborhood, the ‘red’ ones are really, really, bad, and the ‘purple’ ones are. You know? This was just a boyfriend/girlfriend situation that got out of control. There’s no difference when the public is looking at these folks. One is just as bad the other. JDP: Yeah, as a criminal defense attorney, Jacqui, you’re aware that sexual battery is a crime? JF: Yes, sir. JDP: And you aware that it’s a registerable crime? JF: That’s correct. All sex offenses appear to be pretty registerable. JDP: And, I’m going to ask you if you’re been in a bar someplace, and you’ve had a little too much to drink, and somebody walks by, and you pinch their butt. And they don’t seem to, male or female, and they don’t seem to like that, and report that to the police. Is that a crime? JF: That is a crime. JDP: And is it registerable? JF: Yes, it is. JDP: So, we’re not talking about something where you now have free reign to be as wild and crazy as you want to be in some kind of a bar, or something like that. You really, really need to kind of watch yourself. And this, we’re talking about this, a legislator was charged in Oklahoma City, county charges I should say, about 10 years ago. I never heard what happened to that case. Which means if you never heard what happened, it resolved in a very satisfactory manner to the defendant. Very few people know that ice cream truck or vending things. You know? You see the guy walking down the street. If he’s a sex offender he’s got to register. If he engages in ice cream vending without a registration he could be arrested without a warrant. Same for sole proprietors. If you are harboring or aiding a sex offender. If a person believes a sex offender is in violation of sexual registration requirements, and withholds information about their whereabouts, they’re in violation of a misdemeanor. JF: So, if you know someone should be registering, and they’re not, you too have committed a crime if you don’t report them? JDP: That’s absolutely right. JF: If you know someone is, in fact, registered. But their living arrangements are not purported to be true, and you’re facilitating that. You now, have also committed a crime. JDP: See, it says, sex offender is in violation of sex registration requirements. All of them. Living too close to a school, a park, a day care, a victim of sex abuse is in the home. I mean, there’s so many things that a person becomes responsible with. That’s why people don’t want to hang out with sex offenders. They carry so much baggage. Sex offenders are, or were, subject to Sex Registration Act, and child custody and guardianship. There’s a rebuttable presumption, a rebuttable presumption. Miss Ford, can you tell me what that is, please? JF: That means that you are presumed to have violated. And you, the accused, have the duty and burden to prove that you did not violate. JDP: A rebuttable presumption is created that it is not in the best interest of a child to have custody or guardianship granted to a person who has, or is, subject to sex offender registration. So, if you are in a divorce proceeding, and you’re registered sex offender, or a prior registered sex offender, the court’s not going to give you that kid. They’ll allow visitation. JF: Even if that is you’re kid from the ‘Romeo and Juliet’ set of circumstances, if you didn’t go to the trouble of getting off the registration. And, even if you did. That court may deem that you are not suited to raise you own children. JDP: That’s true. JF: That’s a devastating impact that most people don’t think about. JDP: Now, let me tell you some of the things that are not registerable sex offenses: use of profane language in public, or breach of the peace. So, you can get up and curse at the barmaid. Just don’t pinch her butt. Running a whorehouse, keeping a whorehouse, providing property for a whorehouse. Pimping. Being a prostitute. Every possible sex act that you can think of, as long as it’s paid for. Opening and running a strip bar. Outraging public decency. JF: Now, this is the one that everybody says, “I know a guy who has to register on the sex offender registry, and he was doing was peeing in a park.” That guy’s full of crap. He’s not getting on the registration list because he urinated in a park? Am I right? JDP: Under 21 OS 22, it used to be a registerable offense. Now, it’s only registerable if you’re urinating in public, and getting a little excited about it. JF: For the purpose of sexual gratification. JDP: And the only person that could possibly be sexually gratified is yourself. So, be careful. You can’t curse in front of women and kids – not registerable. ‘Peeping Tom’, there it is. It’s a misdemeanor. ‘Peeping Tom’ with a cell phone, and/or publishing such images. I think it says up-skirt photos? At my age you cant’ get down and up that easy. So you’re going to have to read about it. Obscene phone calls – not registerable. A projection that’s showing obscenity. Showing dirty movies in a drive-in theater. Pandering and procuring prostitution. Restraining, pandering, seduction of an unmarried female of previous chaste character by promise of marriage. Abduction of a person under 15-years old for the purpose of marriage, or concubinage. And dealing with seduction, marriage, and abandonment, and indecent exposure. That’s an entirely different section that we really don’t have time to get into. ‘Peeping Tom’ again is not registerable. Unless you do it over, and over, and over, and over. Those are not registerable offenses. They are few and far between. JF: Thank you so much Jack for imparting your knowledge and wisdom to us today. Is there anything about Sex Offender Registration Act that you think we need to know that I wasn’t smart enough to think of to ask? JDP: One of the things of the Sex Offender Registration Act that I think is unconstitutional is if you receive a deferred sentence in Oklahoma JF: And a deferred sentence, for people who may not have listened to some of the other podcasts, is a special kind of probation, in which you enter a plea of guilty or no-contest, but the court does not find you guilty and convict you at that time. He places you on a deferred. Meaning he’s going to set off sentencing for a time. It is not a conviction under any circumstances, except a few. And this is one where it will be treated just like a conviction. Even though you’re not convicted. JDP: Yeah, it’s basically a withholding of the adjudication of guilt. But, the Department of Corrections – you got to register. Period. Okay? Now, if you get a deferred sentence in Kansas, and you come to Oklahoma, you don’t have to register. That’s not fair. That’s what you call unequal protection of the law, which is a violation of the 13th and 14th Amendments. That’s right. We had a decision two years ago, now, I think, called Starkey vs. Oklahoma County, or something like that. And it was a groundbreaking case that said you can’t apply all these Acts, and all these ‘you can’t live here, and you can’t do this, and so-on and so-forth,’ You can’t apply those things retroactively. Starkey was a gentleman that had been convicted before all these things were passed. One of the big things is, and you have to look, and look, and look – aggravated and habitual sex offenders they had a great big go-over ‘S.O.” on their driver’s license. JF: That’s right. We haven’t talked about that. But, much like if you’re on a modified driver’s license for a DUI, and you have to have a Breathalyzer. The new way of identifying sex offenders is they put it in great big letters on your ID. Which you have to present for any reason – buy beer, buy cigarettes, get through TSA. There’s no hiding. JDP: Then all of a sudden everybody’s ears are perked up, “Hey, look at that perv. He’s a sex offender.” JF: And again, the sex offender stamp, doesn’t say, “Had sex with his girlfriend when he was 17 and she was 15.” Right? JDP: That’s correct. Just broadly says bang, you’re a habitual sex offender. Very few people know that that does exist. A normal, or usual, a non-aggravated, non-habitual sex offender, does not get his driver’s license with a sex offender thing on it. It is, what it is. JF: So, there’s room, oftentimes, from the perspective of helping our client. Just because we’re accused of doing it, even if we’re guilty of the violation or guilty of the original act. There’s room for negotiating around the sex offender registration. But, that has to happen at the onset of initial criminal act, almost. JDP: That goes back to: you cannot go down through the phone book and say, “Oh, this guy advertises he does criminal law.” JF: “Or, this guy helped my Aunt Susie with her DUI onetime. I’ll go see him.” JDP: This thing has become such a, the Oklahoma County District Attorneys office has a unit. JF: The Special Victims Unit. JDP: And that’s all they do is prosecute sex offenses. Now, if they are, there’s like four people, I think running that thing. And if they have unit that is dedicated to sex offenses. They don’t have any other unit. I mean, all the rest of the other DA’s can handle it, and everything like that. Why would you go out and hire somebody who helped Aunt Janie get out DUI 20 years ago? When you’re going up against people who have multitudes of years of experience in trying cases, and putting them on, and taking them down here to the nature house, and letting them give good interview, and so-on and so-forth. And use dolls. All of those things are subject of all kinds of problems. And don’t get me wrong. There are some people that practice law, that try cases all the time, that don’t handle sex offenses, that are damn good lawyers. But, by God, you get a sex offense, you better find somebody that knows what the hell they’re doing. And all you have to do is ask one question. “Sir, or ma’am, what is the child accommodation syndrome?” JF: It’s important, at that point, to check your lawyer. Interview them. This is your case. It’s not their interview. They’re not here to pick and choose which case they’re going to have. They have that right. But, you, as the offender, or the accused, have a very, very, very special position where you get to put the lawyer in the hot seat. And we suggest that you do it. Because there’s only a handful of law firms in the metropolitan area that I would think are qualified, and experienced enough, that I would trust them to handle a case for my friends or family. JDP: It’s a situation, and a lot of people go, “I’ve never dealt with a lawyer before.” And they go in. And they think because they’re talking to them, they have to hire them. Not so. Conduct an interview. Ask them if they know what a child accommodation syndrome is. If they don’t, and you don’t have a clear understanding of what it is, excuse yourself and say, “I’m sorry. I need to go to somebody else.” JF: This is not a case in which you want to discount shop. You’re not looking for the cheapest lawyer in town. JDP: And, by the way, finding a criminal defense attorney, that does not judge you, does not question you, does demean you, does not embarrass you, but, yet, is competent to handle these cases ain’t cheap. JF: That’s right. JDP: Because 99% of the lawyers, they don’t want to have a reputation of being next to those people, or next to them. Because they don’t want to answer a question at a party, “Why do you represent these sex offenders?” JF: I get asked that question all the time. And we’ll talk about it in another podcast. Thank you so much Jack Dempsey Pointer for joining us today. I could not be more grateful for you for sharing with us. JDP: You’re quite welcome. And I hope it goes well. JF: You’ve been listening to Your Best Defense podcast. Join us next week.

This week on Four Songs: five songs. It was necessary, one of the songs is by John Denver, and a "make good" was in order. IN MY DEFENSE, I didn't pick the music. That was done according to what was hot with the record-buying public . . . in April 1975. Unfortunately, John Denver's "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" was big back then. Unsurprisingly, I would have picked differently. But they don't let 14-year-old kids program Top-40 radio stations, and that's how old I was when this episode of Four Songs was done. Live. Through the facilities of the Big 91, WLCS radio in Baton Rouge, La. In all its amplitude-modulated glory. And glorious it was. So glorious that I was sitting at the kitchen table, early the morning of April 17, 1975, with my portable reel-to-reel tape recorder patched into the earphone jack of my clock radio to preserve a piece of WLCS forever. It was a Thursday. Gary King was the morning man. WLCS was one of Baton Rouge's two Top-40 blowtorches. Radio 13 -- WIBR -- was the other. 'IBR had some great jocks, and a friend of mine even was a part-timer there when I was in high school . . . but I was an 'LCS man. No offense to WIBR. Of course, by 1976, I was firmly in the camp of Loose Radio (WFMF during its album-oriented rock salad days). But I'll always love Double-U ELLLLLLL CEE Ess . . . even though it died in 1983, a few months after I married a KOIL woman from Omaha. And if you're under, say, 30, you're not getting this conversation at all, are you? LET ME EXPLAIN. Once upon a time, there was this thing called radio -- AM radio -- and we listened to it on "transistors," which were like iPods, only affordable. And better. An iPod only can bring you the few hundred songs you load into it after illegally downloading them off the Internet or legally buying them on iTunes. But a transistor radio, that could bring you the world, baby. All for free. And without the threat of a lawsuit by the music cops. The world first came to my bedroom on a transistor radio tuned to WLCS. I also could tune in the whole wide world on WIBR, or maybe WTIX in New Orleans -- and sometimes KAAY through the ether from Little Rock at night -- but I mostly dug those rhythm and blues . . . and rock 'n' roll . . . and countrypolitan . . . and a bit of ring-a-ding-ding, too, on the Big 91. What it was, was the breadth of American popular culture at my fingertips. And British Invasion, too. Never was education so fun. I turned on the radio just to listen to some tunes, and I found myself under the spell of a thousand different tutors -- friendly voices from morning to overnight -- playing for me the breadth of musical expression . . . or at least the musical expression that charted well. It is because of 'LCS, 'IBR, 'TIX (and later, 'FMF) that this Catholic Boy has catholic tastes. Your iPod is cool and all, but it can't do that. SEE, THE DEAL IS that I can't repay the debt I owe to WLCS, for one. I can't repay the debt I owe to Gary King, that friendly morning voice on this episode of Four Songs. For a spell there, King's was the voice I woke up to, got ready for school to and ate breakfast to. He played the hits and told me what the weather was outside, and Gene Perry gave the news at the top and bottom of the hour. Back in the day, radio was a well-rounded affair. King's also was the friendly voice that answered the studio line when an awkward teen-ager in junior-high hell would call to request a song. And his was the friendly voice that would take time to chat for a bit when that kid -- or his mother -- sometimes thought he had nothing better to do . . . like put on a morning show. I didn't know it then, and Gary King (real name: Gary Cox) probably didn't know it, either, but what he was doing was being Christ, in a sense, to a lonely kid and his -- come to think of it -- lonely mother. I shudder to think what one of today's "morning zoo" shows would do with rich material like me and Mama. That is, if they answered the studio line at all. Via the AM airwaves, I made a human connection with WLCS and Gary King. I needed that. We all need that. And you can't get that from your iPod, though some of us will try to give it, because you have to work with what you have. BEFORE APRIL 1975 was done, Gary King was gone. He originally was from Kentucky, and one day the call came from WAKY, the Top-40 powerhouse in Louisville that Gary grew up listening to. On his last show, Gary's ending bit was "convincing" Gene Perry that he could catch a bullet in his teeth if the newsman would just help him out on the gun end. It didn't work as planned . . . which means it worked perfectly in radio's "theater of the mind." I think I shed a tear or two. And a couple of years later, I was learning the ropes at WBRH, Baton Rouge High's student-run FM station. And 33 years later -- after various pit stops on the air and hot off the press -- here we are at Revolution 21, trying to figure out what "radio" will be in this new millennium . . . right here on the Internet. Thanks, Gary. I can't repay you in full, but maybe this will make a nice down payment.
