Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 98 – You Can’t Fix Stupid
In Episode 98 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, we tackle various topics. Those 1960s music videos were crazy! They would pan, zoom, and wiggle the camera like mad! Why? Well, Mark Lindsay has some thoughts on that. Next, Eloy Escagedo can’t get over the manner in which so many out there are willing to resort to violence. We are talking about the riots and attitudes that have been on display here in America and around the world. Finally the duo go through a list of English sayings we take for granted. Do we really know the meaning behind these phrases? All in all, it’s a great episode, and one that’s…

Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 91 – Enamels and Spaniards and Jerks – Oh My!
Why would someone use enamel paint for a woodworking project? Well, for lots of reasons – but that doesn’t mean you have to like it. Mark Lindsay tells why he hates using enamels in woodworking. Eloy Escagedo tells us about two men with the surname Escagedo who were executed in Spain for taking part in a rebellion in the 1250s. It turns out these were the first 2 documented mentions of that surname, and the reason for it was pretty wild. Finally, the twosome discuss the general distrust (hatred) for paid promotions in YouTube videos, and Mark asks why the mere mention of a product endorsement suddenly negates everything else…

Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 90 – The Tourist Trap Episode
This week, in Episode 90, Tourist Traps! After the pandemic, we figure it may be just about time for a long, well-deserved leg stretch. So, how about visiting all those out-of-the-way places scattered all across America? Mark Lindsay and Eloy Escagedo talk about the differences between tourist traps and tourist attractions!

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 – 86 – A Deep Spanish Siesta and the Art of Coffee
We’re on lock down! Well, kind of. Some folks look forward to alone time. Well, that moment has come! Are we taking it too far? Are we not taking it far enough?

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 74 – Tramplin’ in the Years
New Year’s fireworks and celebrations are a little different in Miami, Florida, and Medford, Oregon. In Miami, the sounds of congas in the distance can be heard all around.
