    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 111 – Movie Trailer Trash

    Episode 111 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast starts with a conversation about landmark events in history, ignited by a bad joke. Suddenly, Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay find themselves talking about how important coffee is in society, culture, and social gatherings. That naturally (?) progresses into the topic of how the public at large views surprises in pop culture today.

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 110 – Ipswich Clams

    Episode 110 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast starts out as a mish-mash. First, Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay revisit the theme of cartoons from the 60s predicting the future. Then Mark cleans up the mess he made last week when bringing up the SS Warrimoo – the ship that existed in two different centuries at the same time. Finally, Eloy puts Mark on the spot with 6 fairly easy questions, that took way, way too long to answer, and required entirely too much thought on Mark’s part. We had a few other side trips as well, and you can be sure there’s a lot of fun and humor along the…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 107 – Eat Crow

    In Episode 107 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, Eloy and Mark begin by talking about re-occurring numbers. Most of us have noticed a particular set of numbers that seem to follow us through our lives. Coincidence, or is there something more to it? There is a famous Beatle that had a certain number constantly appear through his life. Can you guess who? The guys then switch over to a topic suggested by a loyal listener through our Facebook page, by discussing Cover Tunes. They talk about covers that were more popular than the original, which covers they really didn’t like, and tunes that they didn’t even know were covers. Some…
