    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 104 – Fashionably Late With Nowhere To Go

    Episode 104 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast is a bit different. Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay begin the episode by touching on the explosion in Lebanon. Their initial thoughts were discussed, but remember that the episode was recorded only a few hours after the explosion occurred. As the conversation gets deeper, as they often do, the subject of conspiracies comes up. Mark then says that Eloy is a bit more speculative by nature, while Mark tends to be more observational. Well, that just starts a back and forth because Eloy was not having it! The Trampled Team then gets into some old favorite discussions such as the moon landing and…

Then he and Eloy Escagedo discuss a very cool project just finished by Mark’s wife Linda. This brings up the topic of how people dressed back in the 1700s, which ultimately leads to a discussion of an extreme fighting sport – sort of a medieval styled cage fight. The duo then jump around to the story of a man who bought the world’s cheapest electric car online and had it shipped to the US. Finally, they dive head first into the…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 91 – Enamels and Spaniards and Jerks – Oh My!

    Why would someone use enamel paint for a woodworking project? Well, for lots of reasons – but that doesn’t mean you have to like it. Mark Lindsay tells why he hates using enamels in woodworking. Eloy Escagedo tells us about two men with the surname Escagedo who were executed in Spain for taking part in a rebellion in the 1250s. It turns out these were the first 2 documented mentions of that surname, and the reason for it was pretty wild. Finally, the twosome discuss the general distrust (hatred) for paid promotions in YouTube videos, and Mark asks why the mere mention of a product endorsement suddenly negates everything else…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 87 – 20% French Dip

    Eloy is 20% French Dip? Yes. He figured it’s his birthday, it’s the end of the world, so why not indulge with some fast food? But he soon regretted it!

That leads to the cast talking about age, wisdom, and life lessons learned. The duo then talk about current events, the pandemic to be more precise, and learning self sufficiency, independence, and simple skills like being able to cook for yourself – something that is sorely lacking these days, it would appear. We hope you’ll check it out! We…
