Slippery Slope is a true crime podcast about a most intriguing crime. It&rsquo;s about Mount Isa and a missing&hellip;.. waterslide.

Dave and Brad investigate the world of waterslides, asking tough questions, like 'What is the relationship between Queensland and waterslides?&rsquo;
And &lsquo;Why are waterslides made in Turkey?&rsquo;
