Summary

Have you ever wondered what ever happened to the Mafia? Throughout the 20th century, they were recognized as one of the most notorious crime organizations in the world. Feared by many, the Mafia has been depicted as brutal thugs in sensationalized movies and TV series. Consequently, there have been stereotypes created about Italians and Sicilians that are negative and shed a bad light upon their ethnicity and culture. Furthermore, there are worldwide crime syndicates that have been in the shadows without as much notoriety. Tonight on Ground Zero, JP Bovenzi from The Paradigm Shift fills in for Clyde Lewis and talks with Chuck Ochelli from The Ochelli Effect as they separate fact from fiction and talk candidly about THE MAFIA - MYTHS AND REALITIES. Listen on groundzeroplus.com at 7pm, pacific time.
