    In this fun-filled episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, The question is posed, you’re in paradise, you don’t have to lift a finger! Well, how much of that do you think you could take without going insane? The hosts of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast share their opinions and thoughts, and they are interesting to say the least. We will say this though, that as innocent as the question is, it opens up a lot of scenarios, and we look into some of them. The conversation then turns to movies, documentaries, and a variety of topics. Check it out! We record LIVE every Tuesday evening at 9:30 pm Eastern, 6:30 pm…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 177 – Copyright or Copywrong?

    In this fun-filled episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, we start off the discussion with a trip to the grocery store. Eloy set out to buy a bottle of vegetable oil. Seems simple enough, right? How could this start any controversy? Let’s just say that pricing was an issue – and not in the way that you’re probably thinking. Totally switching gears, Mark Lindsay introduces a topic that was inspired by a recent YouTube video he watched (go figure, right?) The video featured a gentleman who plays classical music pieces on piano, and the score to that music is displayed on the screen as he plays it. As an April…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 175 – The Evolutionary Revolutionaries

    In this episode of The Trampled Underfoot Podcast, Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay go way off the beaten path. What starts as a discussion about the most famous things that were invented in Florida and Oregon somehow morphs into the subject of James Randy debunking so-called psychics. If that isn’t an odd enough transition, Eloy introduces a video that documents a huge rail project in the UK. That’s innocent enough. But somehow, that winds its way into discussion about Neanderthals and the evolution of mankind. How the heck did they end up there? Who knows? There’s only one way to find out! So grab a beverage, sit back, and enjoy…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 173 – Every Sense of the Word

    In this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast Mark Lindsay is encouraged about the direction of music formats after a trip to his local big box retailer. The sudden appearance of some so-called “obsolete” goods were prominently displayed, which put a surprising amount of spring in his step for the rest of the day. This morphed into a discussion with Eloy Escagedo of our 5 senses, and everything we take for granted until they’re lost. There’s a lot to digest in this discussion, but we think you’ll find it palatable. There are a lot of digressions, segues, philosophical points, and just general rambling in this episode of the Trampled Underfoot…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 171 – Rock and Roll Juggernaut

    In this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast Mark Lindsay goes into the background of one of the most influential hard rock bands of all time. A band that came from humble beginnings and exploded to meteoric heights in the late 70s and early 80s. What was behind their success? How did they become the musical powerhouse they are today? Eloy Escagedo gives his opinions, and the hosts discuss what was and what could have been. Next is a discussion of listening to music as an activity. Is music as important today as it was in decades past? We know that the way people experience music today is totally different…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 170 – Fungus on Rye

    In this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast Mark Lindsay goes introspective and personal. The hosts talk about making plans, superstitions, and premeditated disappointments. Why are we so superstitious? Do we really think that what color of socks we wear can have some sort of cosmic effect on the outcome of a football game? We certainly act as if we do. What can we do to stop worrying about things that are completely out of our control? Next, do we as a society really learn from history? It’s clear that we do in certain select things, but overall, are we really remembering the successes or failures of the past, or…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 164 – It’s All About Style

    In this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay open with a couple of series Eloy has been enjoying on Netflix, one of which being Cobra Kai. In this series, based on the Karate Kid movies of the 80s, the perspective is changed from that of the good guy to that of the perceived villain. In the re-imagined series, we see the villain of the movies wasn’t actually a villain at all. This brings up the topic of producers, directors, and performers taking characters we hold dear, and re-imagining them, sometimes changing genre, other times just changing the perception of those characters from a different point…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 162 – I Got My Hush Puppies On

    In this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, Mark Lindsay and Eloy Escagedo discuss their most recent absence. Spoiler Alert – it’s all Mark’s fault. The two then branch out in a few directions based on the topic at hand. Without giving too much away here, is there a social engineering aspect to the control of social media outlets? Are there topics that are seen by some as taboo, and should never be discussed? Who makes that decision? Is it a decision that should even be made? Lots of questions and personal opinion in this episode as the hosts discuss life, the universe, and everything in this very personal episode…
