Episode 35 is Online! Special guests theme park experts Gary and Philip Meade of rexandthebeast.com

UPDATED FOR 2015

Hello, folks - although the Sounds of Knoxville Theatre Podcast has been on permanent hiatus for a couple of years now, I thought I'd bring back one of the best episodes in time for Halloween, 2015.  Interactive, immersive entertainment has always been a favorite subject of mine, and this episode welcomes some theme park experts in to talk about dark rides, haunted houses and entertainment where you're part of the show... I hope you enjoy!
