Thank you for another FANTASTIC year! We're being downloaded in 147 countries globally & growing! We're not "true crime", we're the truth in the criminal justice system!

As we close out another fantastic, record-breaking year filled with one accomplishment after another for us — which included new sponsorships, new underwriters and new listeners — we wanted to focus on what is most important to us other than searching out the truth.

We wanted to take some special time to recognize you, our listeners for your “TSL” (time spent listening) to us throughout this past year.

We thank you for another fantastic year of growth and achievements and express our appreciation for your wonderful engagement and your role in helping us grow to 147 countries globally as we close out Season 6.

Most podcasts never make it this far.

We never thought this kind of success would be something that we could attain, and we were never concerned about our growth at the inception of this project.

Initially we set out to tell the truth about topics of importance in the U.S. criminal justice system — and look what it has become! We have been able to advocate for so many people.

The corporate plan is to take the remainder of the year off to rest and recover and enjoy some quality time with our families (returning on either January 3rd or the 10th 2026).

We then will begin the process for Season 7 of Light 'Em Up where we strive to achieve new goals and break even more records with the reach of our podcast.

We are adding a new Listener Support Program whereby our most loyal and dedicated listeners can now take a financial interest in seeing that this program continues.

We have labored tirelessly to dig deep, vast and wide to bring you a special insight that you really won’t find anywhere else regarding the U.S. criminal justice system.

We're loyal, consistent and dedicated to you, our listeners.  We are truly here for you and because of you!

Our commitment to you here on Light 'Em Up is that we’ve endeavored to tackle real topics that touch your daily lives.

We’ve worked tirelessly to try to be the "voice of the people".

Please consider joining our Criminal Justice Foundation Justice Rolls Down and its page found on Facebook as well as our worldwide presence on YouTube at:  Rizzo's Protective Group.

Here is our complete catalogue.  Here is our last full-length episode of the year regarding the concept and legality of governmental extra-judicial killings — summarily executing people. Extrajudicial killing is the deliberate killing of a person without legal authority from a judicial process.
