We then go on with an eclectic variety of fun topics. Be sure to check out this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast!

    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…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 157 – Ramen Cake and Condition 1

    In this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay go off on some wild tangents – no big surprise there, right? But would you have ever associated Amazon reviews, a Tinder match on Antarctica, and the divisiveness of social media, with the spread of the English language? Well, neither would we. The hosts do a fine job of connecting those wildly spread dots to give you a semi-cohesive, semi-compelling, and hopefully semi-entertaining listening experience. It’s just weird, and we think you’ll enjoy the conversation. So, pull up a slice of Ramen Apple Pie, sit back, relax, and have fun with this eclectic episode of the Trampled…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 153 – I’ll Be Seeing You

    In a more serious episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast: Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay discuss our voyeuristic tendencies when it comes to our entertainment choices. The hosts share their insights and thoughts on the topic of we, the viewer, and our emotional attachment to certain online celebrities, families, and personalities. Are we content to just be entertained by the content being presented, or do we absolutely have to know everything about everybody we’re watching? Even if the content includes children? Are we being too voyeuristic in our entertainment choices? It’s an extremely complex issue, and not one that can be solved within a single podcast episode – if there’s…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 149 – WikiPodcastia

    In Episode 149 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast: Has the internet made us smarter? With so much information literally at our fingertips, have we really become any smarter than we were when we relied on libraries and books for our information? Information is easier to find than it has ever been. Is that information correct, though? How do we check it? Do we even care? Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay explore the topic with lots of references to Wikipedia, books, magazines, and even a video taken in France in 1899. In that video, modern Artificial Intelligence technology was used to colorize it, then bring it up to 60 fps. The…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 148 – Proof of the Lizard People

    In Episode 148 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast: Is there proof of the existence of the Lizard People? If so, what is the proof? It is said that the Lizard people, aka Reptilians, walk among us. They say that they’re inter-dimensional, and that they shape shift. They look like you or I, and hold the highest positions of power in society. As Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay discuss the story, they do mention that they are open to ideas, as long as there is some form of evidence. As Mark says: “You can have a theory about anything, but the preponderance of the evidence, is going to decide the veracity…

    In Episode 144 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast: Mark Lindsay and Eloy Escagedo start the show off with their shopping experiences and how self-checkout lanes are better. But what about the cashier jobs lost? Then the conversation goes in a few interesting directions. Mark shares some stories where people became outraged over websites that turned out to be hoaxes. Do people go nuts over the most ridiculous things? Then, Florida Man rears his ugly head again. The stories we share are unbelievable!

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 139 – To Err Is Truman

    In Episode 139 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast: Mark Lindsay did the unthinkable – he watched a movie that Eloy Escagedo suggested he watch almost 2 years ago. Yes, we’re talking about the 1998 Jim Carrey film, The Truman Show. This not only opened up a conversation about the movie, it spawned other diversions that are related to the premise of the movie. Was it inspired by a book? Was it inspired by an episode from the 1980s re-boot of The Twilight Zone? Is there really such a thing as The Truman Show Delusion? Next, the question of how comfortable we are with giving away our privacy in exchange for…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 138 – Turtles All The Way Down

    In Episode 138 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast: Mark Lindsay and Eloy Escagedo were having an online conversation and a few key words were mentioned. It just so happens that Eloy later received multiple video suggestions on those very same words and topics. It all started with the saying, “It’s turtles all the way down!” This opens up the first two conversations on this episode: advertising and marketing through the knowledge of people’s online habits, and where did the origin of reality first start? Next, the question of how comfortable are we with the trade off of giving away our privacy in exchange for access to entertainment and information? The…
