The Las Vegas Review-
            Journal and The Mob
            Museum Unveil New
            True-Crime Podcast
            "Mobbed Up: The Fight for Las Vegas"
            The 11-part series chronicles the rise and fall of
            organized crime in Las Vegas through the voices
            of those who lived it: ex-mobsters, law enforce-
            ment officials, politicians and journalists.
               The production was made possible by extensive collabora-
            tion between the Las Vegas-Review Journal and downtown
            Las Vegas' The Mob Museum. "Partnering with the Review-
            Journal on this podcast series was a rewarding experience and
            a welcome addition to The Mob Museum's focus on creating
            enhanced online content during its temporary closure,'' said
            Geoff Schumacher, Vice President of Exhibits and Programs
            for The Mob Museum. "Our combined resources have yielded
            a top-shelf production that yanks the veil off the dark history
            of organized crime in Las Vegas. This is can't-miss listening."
               From back alleys to dimly lit basements to the neon glow
            of the Las Vegas Strip, Review-Journal podcast producer Reed
            Redmond guides listeners through the 20th-century crimi-
            nal underworlds of Las Vegas, Chicago and Kansas City.
               "The Review-Journal recognizes The Mob Museum as
            a renowned institution that brings to life the stories that
            once made headlines in Las Vegas' largest and oldest
            newspaper," said Glenn Cook, Executive Editor and Senior
            Vice President for News for the Review-Journal. "The
            Mobbed Up series represents our most significant col-
            laboration to date with the Museum, and by far our most
            ambitious podcast project at reviewjournal.com."
               The first episode, titled "Our Religion," features the
            story behind a residential crime scene: belongings tossed
            around, bullet holes in the walls and a trail of blood lead-
            ing to the backyard. Hours later, the front page of the
            evening edition of the Review-Journal features the head-
            line, "Con Suspect Killed in 'Bloody Murder.'" Forty years
            later, the first Mobbed Up episode revisits the crime
            with someone who was there when it happened.
               New episodes of the 11-part series will be released weekly
            on Tuesdays following the May 26 Mobbed Up launch. For

   "Camp has never been more essential to our children than it is
this summer," said Camp Echo's Owner/Director Jeff Grabow. "We
remain confident that we can provide a safe and fun summer for
our campers and staff. We all realize camp will look a little differ-
ent this summer, but with testing and medical screenings, the
best in-camp medical care, some program modifications, and of
course our good ole' camp creativity — we are confident that we
can deliver a memorable camp experience that we all need now
more than ever. Camp T-Shirt Day is such a great way to rally our
community and share with the world that we will leave no stone
unturned to deliver a safe environment for our children and staff."
   "There is a lot of darkness and uncertainty in our world right
now," says Lauren Nearpass, Co-Founder of Summer 365 and
one of the producers of Camp T-Shirt Day. "We are inspired by
the resolve of camp directors, the strength of this commu-
nity, and the importance of summer camp at this moment. We
want to share camp spirit, celebrate the amazing work hap-
pening across the industry, and spread the message of hope.
   Susie Lupert, Executive Director of the American Camp Asso-
ciation, NY and NJ, said, "Children need camp more than ever this
summer, and we are hopeful that camps will be able to operate.
#CampTShirtDay will certainly be an uplifting day for all those
in the world who are part of the summer camp community."
