  Home Grown Haunt with Lynn Kent

  Sep 29, 202644 minS1

  This week is a very special haunted house interview episode! Lynn Kent, Jordan's mom, has been running a home haunt in Lakeland, Georgia for several decades now, and we interview her all about it: how she got the idea, how it's grown, and why she loves haunting so much. River Road Haunted House has turned into a beloved community fixture that brings people from all over the Southeast. It's a labor of love that Lynn takes on with a hardworking group of locals every year, bringing joy to adults and children alike. It's a legacy that she's building for herself and her community with no plans of stopping.

  It's our very first spooky season community spotlight: haunted attractions!

Starting this week and going through the entire month of October, we'll be releasing weekly episodes interviewing haunt owners, operators, and actors about their haunt experiences and what goes into their work, as well as how they feel haunting can bring people together.

  A Scene Kid Grows Up with Rudy Salazar

  Sep 8, 20261h 50mS1

  In our twentieth episode, Jake and Jordan sit down with their long-time friend and one of Jordan's closest friends, Rudy Salazar. Rudy is open, vulnerable, and honest, discussing his struggles with addiction, opening up about his feelings, and learning how to be a good husband and father when he didn't have the best role models. Overall, this episode is bro-y, funny, raw, and touching: a great depiction of healthy, positive masculinity. Also, we talk a lot about the early 2000s hardcore scene in South Georgia, and you get to hear some gems Rudy dug up for us. We hope you enjoy!
