Sliders: A Love Story (with Podcast: The Ride, Death, & Braedon Freeland)
To make up for last week's John Kassir no-show debacle, Producer Brett surprises Tom and Julie with his long awaited episode about the Sliders of Knott's Scary Farm. Sliders are skilled individuals who use knee, toe, and hand protection in order to slide across the ground and startle or enhance their scaring technique at Halloween events. But they're also more than that. Tom and Julie are joined by documentary filmmaker Braedon Freeland and Knott's Scary Slider "Death" for a deep dive into Slider culture. And then the good boys of Podcast: The Ride (Mike Carlson, Scott Gairdner, and Jason Sheridan) stop by for a tour of haunted theme park attractions like the Six Flags Coffin Challenge, Garfield's Nightmare, and the Mine of Lost Souls.LISTEN TO PODCAST: THE RIDE:https://foreverdogpodcasts.com/podcasts/podcast-the-rideFOLLOW DEATH:https://www.instagram.com/gtsxdeathWATCH THE SLIDERS OF GHOST TOWN:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHCxFYjXvnwLISTEN TO DOUBLE THREAT AD-FREE ON FOREVER DOG PLUS:http://foreverdogpodcasts.com/plusDOUBLE THREAT MERCH:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/double-threatSEND SUBMISSIONS TO:DoubleThreatPod@gmail.comFOLLOW DOUBLE THREAT:https://twitter.com/doublethreatpodhttps://www.instagram.com/doublethreatpodDOUBLE THREAT IS A FOREVER DOG PODCAST:https://foreverdogpodcasts.com/podcasts/double-threatTheme song by Mike KrolArtwork by Michael Kupperman Learn more about your ad choices.
