The first live
September 1st. Parents on the record, live.
On the Record with Mandy from Stand with Meg starts Tuesday, September 1st. Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram at the same time. No edits.
Weekly days and times lock after that first show. Want the microphone? Apply now. Mandy reads every submission. Subscribers on Facebook Official and Instagram get put at the top of the guest list.
Every week, more families ask to come on the Stand with Meg show than Meg can physically interview. That waitlist is not a problem. It is an untapped public record.
On the Record with Mandy from Stand with Meg is the live lane. Mandy Reed goes live several days a week with parents telling their stories in their own words. We are also bringing attorneys on to answer questions and sit for interviews. The conversation streams to Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram at once.
Mandy is the host. She is not a lawyer and she is not an investigative journalist. Attorneys who appear share general education only. Nobody on this show becomes your lawyer, and nobody tells you what to file.

Why live
Nothing between the parent and the public.
Live is the format the audience trusts most. A parent and a host, in real time, on four platforms. Every episode feeds the registry. Every guest becomes an amplifier. Every signoff sends viewers back to StandwithMeg.com to add their own voice.
The journalism lane stays with Meg. Investigations, the registry, Fraud Files, the Title IV-D series, congressional outreach. This lane is for the parent who has been waiting for a seat.
Founder of Stand with Meg. Her hours go where only she can go. She may join a live. She approves every clip before it posts. The public record remains hers to guard.
Mandy from Stand with Meg. Close friend of Meg. She has lived the family-court and CPS fight in Oklahoma. On air she is the host, never a lawyer, never a journalist. She reads every intake herself.
One guest per show. The guest agreed to the ground rules before they were booked. Mandy reads the disclaimer at the top of every live, no exceptions.

Why the form is thorough
The show is live. Consent happens first.
There is no edit between a guest’s words and four platforms. That is why every booked guest checked each of these rules, one by one, before they were offered a date.
01
Children are initials only. No schools. No identifying details.
02
No case numbers, addresses, phone numbers, or emails of anyone.
03
Nothing sealed. No confidential reports. No in-camera material.
04
Court actors may be named as the guest’s experience and report, not as established fact.
05
No accusations of crimes as fact unless there is a filed charge, conviction, or public finding the guest can cite.
06
No legal advice, on either side of the microphone. Mandy can redirect or end the interview at any time.
Before you go live
Light on your face. Sound they can hear.
You do not need fancy gear. These two things decide whether people stay or scroll past.
Nose to the window, or a lamp pointed at your face.Earbuds or a mic, close to your mouth.
First live is September 1st. Weekly days and times lock after that. Follow wherever you watch so the lives reach you.
Attorneys on the record
Parents speak. Attorneys come on to answer questions.
The show is opening a second seat. Licensed attorneys can be interviewed and can take viewer questions live.
That is general education for families watching, not legal advice for any one case. If you are an attorney who wants to help parents understand the process, ask to be on the show.
Ready to apply, or still have a question? Use the path that fits. Mandy reads every guest form. Attorneys use the attorney form. If you just need to ask something first, use contact.

Welcome to On the Record. I’m Mandy from Stand with Meg. Before we start, here is how this works, every show, every guest. What you are about to hear is one family’s experience, told in their own words. These are family-reported experiences and allegations, not court findings. We protect kids on this show, so children are initials only, and we never share case numbers, addresses, or anything sealed. Our guest knows these rules and agreed to them before we went live. If parts of this story sound familiar to you, that is exactly why this show exists. Your story belongs on the record too, at StandwithMeg.com.
