    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 131 – Weird Episode

    In Episode 131 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast; it’s an eclectic, laid back ride through more subjects than we can count.

Next the hosts talk about a possible cashless society of the future, with implants we carry under our skin, bearing all our information. Does that sound even remotely feasible?
