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 78 – Edgar Allan Poor
Author and poet Edgar Allan Poe is the topic of this episode. But there are a lot of twists in the discussion, including Sylvester Stallone’s connection to the author. This is a really entertaining episode of Trampled Underfoot Podcast. Famous and historical figures like Poe, Van Gogh, and many more who didn’t make a penny from their works when living. Then, for some unknown reason, the subject changed to the price of television sets. “Back in the day,” a TV was a major investment. Now they’re dirt cheap. In some instances, you can’t give them away. What’s behind that? The conversation gets going and never slows down. Check it out!…

Trampled Underfoot Podcast – Episode 77 – Working On Mysteries Without Any Clues
This week we put on our exploration hats, and strike out for adventure! We get into the romanticized image of the Old American West, and look at our perception of the time versus reality. We take apart the sanitized version of the Old West that was fed to us by movies, radio, and TV, then get into the iconic movie that blew that entire pop culture genre apart. We then wade into potentially dangerous waters by discussing the culture and ethnicities that populated the New World. There are people that trace their origins back to various countries in the old world, so what were their stories? Why were they ignored…

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…
