    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 163 – The Spy Who Tagged Me

    There are countless benefits we enjoy from tech. The more it advances, the broader our options. But there’s always a catch with every new gadget that comes out. There’s this relatively new Air Tag by Apple, and it’s the size of a coin. With it, folks can keep an eye on all sorts of things from luggage to their pets. However, some folk may use it for nefarious proposes too. What if the device was used to track you? On this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, the question is, should their be an app, for safety reasons, to warn folks if they’re being tracked or spied on? And should…

    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 – 159 – The Prisoner

    In this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, we talk about two very different topics. 1. food habits in America, and abroad. 2. The Mauritanian. For the food topic, Mark Lindsay introduces Eloy Escagedo to a new to him take on delivery pizza, which prompts the hosts to talk about food portions, and habits from around the world.

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 158 – Disputes Between Borders And Self Defense

    In this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay go off on some wild tangents. There is an interesting side note to the famous trial that was held this month. Lawyers with YouTube channels have been doing live shows where they share their thoughts, as the trial happens. Is this a good idea? Are they armchair quarterbacks, or are they educating the public about our legal system? This follows with a conversation about international border disputes. Have you ever heard of the “Whiskey War” between Denmark and Canada? Hans Island is a prime example of how border disputes could (and maybe should) be handled. The American…

    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.

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 – 156 – Raised by Animals and Foreign Accent Syndrome

    There are some really crazy stories about people that have been raised by animals. And to be honest, Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay are not sure how real some of these accounts are. But you can judge for yourself, as it’s the first topic discussed in Episode 156 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast. The hosts then discuss another really weird subject that has to do with a little known syndrome that occurs in a tiny amount of folks around the world. It’s so rare that there has not been any substantial amount of research done on it. It called Foreign Accent Syndrome. It’s where people suddenly start to speak with…

    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…
