As we close out another fantastic year filled with one accomplishment after another for “Light ‘Em Up” — which included new sponsorships — and new underwriters — 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 115 countries globally as we close out Season 5.
We never thought this kind of success would be something that we could attain, and we never were 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 in order to rest for a week or so, recover and enjoy some quality time with our families.
We then will begin the process for Season 6 of Light 'Em Up where we strive to achieve new goals and break even more records with the reach of our podcast.
Also, to add more sponsors and underwriters.
The truth is under attack — and is worth defending!
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"

Here is our complete catalogue. Here is our last full episode of the year regarding the conducted energy weapon known better as the Taser. Are they "less-lethal"? Do they Save Lives & Reduce Civilian Shootings or Facilitate Cardiac Arrests and are used in a Reckless, Punitive Manner?
This advocacy piece irritated a lot of people in law enforcement but was wildly popular and downloaded at a record (for us) and at a tremendous rate/amount.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
