Alex Perry On Fire Podcast Launches Season 2 with Story of Resilience, Redemption

Exonerated after 23 years in prison, Ricky Kidd shared his journey of survival on Allie Beth Allman agent Alex Perry’s podcast, Alex Perry On Fire, now in its second season.

Kidd, who spent 23 years in a maximum-security prison for a wrongful murder conviction, was exonerated with the help of the Innocence Network. Kidd credits his survival to daily mantras, poetry, and his determination to rewrite his fate.

Launching today, the first of 10 episodes of Alex Perry On Fire dives into Kidd’s journey from wrongful imprisonment to becoming an advocate for the wrongfully convicted. The podcast takes listeners on a deeper exploration of overcoming adversity — from losing a job to single parenting to seeking therapy.

Perry, the RealTrends No. 1 luxury real estate agent in Dallas and Texas, describes Kidd’s story as a “roadmap for how you can live through something that could break you but instead, you survive and thrive.”

Kidd, now a speaker and advocate, shares the mindset that carried him through the darkest days of his incarceration: “I want to be a victor, not a victim. My experience had to be more than just the pain.”

Arrested in 1996 and sentenced to life without parole in 1997 for a Kansas City murder he didn’t commit, Kidd’s wrongful conviction was based on flawed testimony. In 2019, after more than two decades of legal battles, Kidd walked free and now dedicates his life to helping others.

Season 2 of Alex Perry On Fire will feature stories of resilience, offering listeners insights on navigating life’s toughest moments, while empowering them to ignite their own paths to success and happiness.

Throughout this season, donations will be made to each guest’s chosen charity. Kidd has selected the New England Innocence Project, which continues to fight for justice and provide post-release support for the wrongfully imprisoned, a mission that is very important to him.
