Send Kevjet a Text! Imagine your life unraveling due to a single technological glitch, your name wrongfully tainted, and your freedom hanging by a thread. Wendy Buffery, a former sub-postmistress, lived this nightmare, caught in the throes of the UK's post office scandal. Her compelling account unfolds in our latest episode, as she recounts the chilling effect of a £36,000 accounting discrepancy and the cascade of events that led her to plead guilty under duress. Wendy's ordeal was compounded by isolation, confusion, and the specter of imprisonment, all of which she bravely shares with us. The heart of our discussion with Wendy lies in the emotional toll wrought by the Post Office's misguided trust in the flawed Horizon system. The scandal, which saw many like Wendy wrongfully convicted, has sparked public outrage and a collective clamor for accountability. We hear from Wendy about the personal and financial devastation of her wrongful conviction, the fight for fair compensation, and the unyielding resilience she and her peers have mustered in the face of profound adversity. Wendy's insights into the pursuit of justice—rather than revenge—pose a powerful testament to the human spirit. Join us as we also shine a light on the unity and strength within the community of those affected by this scandal. Wendy's tale is one strand in a tapestry of shared experiences, where solidarity and mutual support have become their own forms of resistance. Together, they stand firm in seeking compensation and closure, their bonds of camaraderie echoing the importance of standing up to systemic failures. This episode isn't just an individual's story; it's a narrative of collective power, a rallying cry for truth, and a beacon of hope for all battling against the odds.

Kevjet - The Podcast with special guest, Ty Herndon

12/19/2023
Send Kevjet a Text! Ty Herndon has lived a life and career of extreme highs and lows and for the first time brings his full journey from darkness to light and back again to his music with JACOB, a new album of highly personal songs touching on themes ranging from addiction, recovery, and mental fitness to lost love, self-discovery and personal freedom. Herndon burst onto the country music scene and made his chart debut in 1995 with “What Mattered Most,” which became his first No. 1 song and garnered a Song of the Year award (Music Row Magazine). It was also the title track to his first album, which debuted on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and had the biggest first-week shipment in the history of Epic Records Nashville. Between 1995 and 2002, Herndon charted 17 singles, including his three No.1s and numerous top 10 hits, such as “I Want My Goodbye Back,” “Loved Too Much,” “A Man Holding On,” and “Hands of a Working Man.” He topped the charts in 1996 with the single “Living in a Moment” and again in 1998 with “It Must Be Love.” In 2014, Herndon became the first major male country artist to publicly come out as gay in an exclusive with Peoplemagazine. He received an outpouring of support that only strengthened his relationship with fans and the country music community, all while expanding his reach to new and diverse audiences. Shortly after, he made history when he hosted a first-of- its-kind country music event, The Concert for Love and Acceptance, now an annual event that provides a stage for LGBTQ and ally artists. In 2020, Herndon found himself back at No. 1 — this time on iTunes with his remake of “Orphans of God,” a collaboration with Kristin Chenoweth and Paul Cardall featured on his holiday release, Regifted. JACOB is his first album of all new music since 2016’s House on Fire. Grammy-nominated and Dove Award winning, Ty’s voice is stronger than it’s ever been, and he’s using it to make a difference. In 2020, he created the Foundation For Love & Acceptance to further his work on behalf of LGBTQ acceptance and lends his time and talent to MusiCares, which has supported Ty through his own struggles and supports those in the music industry with a safety net of services. In 2022, he joined Pivotal Moments Mediaas a Brand Ambassador and as the first artist signed to the organization’s new record label, Pivotal Records.
