Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Saluting the Thin Blue Line and spotlighting fall thrills in the Upstate. On today’s show, CPI Security’s Marketing Manager Kristi O’Connor joins us to preview Law Enforcement Appreciation Day on September 19—a community breakfast and giveaway event honoring the men and women who keep the Carolinas safe. We talk about why CPI Security continues as Presenting Sponsor, how safety and community values drive their work across the Carolinas, and the message this support sends to officers and their families. We also cover CPI’s broader community outreach, customer feedback, and why a reliable home security system matters now more than ever.

Then we head to Piedmont, SC for a behind-the-scenes look at Madworld Haunted Attractions—celebrating 15 years as one of America’s top haunts. Co-owner Joseph Thompson previews opening night (Sept. 5), new 2025 features (VR zombie shooting, 18-hole Ghost Town Mini Golf, axe throwing, live music, bonfires), flexible ticket options including Fast Pass and No-Scare Medallions, and how Madworld fuels family-friendly fall fun for Greenville and beyond.
