Standing Ground is a new radio show originating from the Virgin Islands and hosted by Kim Lyons. Standing Ground is dedicated to the discussion of
crime and punishment, and according to the host, Kim Lyons, it will be a mix of music, shout outs and commentary about crime and punishment in the Virgin Islands.
