Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 95 – A Little Richard Story
In Episode 95 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast: Although it was before his generation, Eloy Escagedo use to sit and listen to the old-time Rock n Roll records.

Are you on the Do Not Call List? Is that list even relevant anymore? We are being overrun by junk mail and telemarketers. It’s so true! Mark and Eloy discuss and it leads to entertaining observations. Another thing that ticks us off is the route that software applications have gone in the past few years. You know – subscriptions with re-occurring payments as opposed to buying the product one time and being done with it. We get into this issue as well. Now this is a funny question to ask, but since it’s St. Patrick’s Day, we’ll go for it. Have you ever had a neighbor that plays the bagpipes?…

Trampled Underfoot Podcast – Episode 76 – Shining Like a National Guitar
Shining Like a National Guitar – Episode 76 The imagery that lyrics invoke in songs can be very powerful. They can take us back in time to the place we first heard them. They’re like an anchor or placeholder in a way, if you think about it. Lyrics set to music can also launch us into new worlds altogether. The mind is a powerful instrument and certain themes and stories told through music are mysterious to us still. Mark Lindsay and Eloy Escagedo talk about this topic using the song Graceland by Paul Simon as an example. The hosts then get into the conversation of famous guitars. We’ve all heard…
