    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. We rail at movie studios for giving away too much of a movie’s plot in a trailer – but will we ever go see the film if they don’t do that? All of this and a lot MORE in Episode 111 of The Trampled Underfoot Podcast! We record LIVE every…

    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…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 103 – Head First

    Episode 103 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast is a bit of an odyssey. Mark Lindsay starts off by talking about the work he’s done on a project at home. 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.
