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! In all fairness, its both Mark Lindsay’s and Eloy’s birthday this month. So what’s wrong with a little bit of overindulgence? 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…

Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 84 – Bagpipes Family Discipline and Junk Mail
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 82 – Exaggeramous
One time, Mark and Eloy cleared a whole Google Hangout just by touching on the subject of Ancient Egypt. They have certain powers, you could say. Well they talk about that at the start, and then move on to lessons they learned from their parents, which then trickles into the subject of YouTube and the direction it has gone in the past few years. Should you get into making YouTube videos? Curiously, they then ask and answer the question about preserving information digitally as opposed to physically. It’s an interesting conversation on a variety of subjects, so check it out! We record LIVE every Tuesday evening at 9:30 pm Eastern,…

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…

Trampled Underfoot Podcast – Episode 75 – Those Dutchmen Had Hardly Any Imagination
Strange titles for songs, poetry, and our podcast. Why? Well… we don’t know, but we spend a little time talking about the topic.

We also compare them to the advances that have shaped both Mark Lindsay and Eloy Escagedo during their lifetime. Have they finally realized that it’s actually the year 2020? It’s a fun discussion and an entertaining episode. Check it out! We record LIVE every Tuesday evening at 9:30 pm Eastern, 6:30 pm Pacific time. Subscribe…
