    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 111 – Movie Trailer Trash

    Episode 111 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast starts with a conversation about landmark events in history, ignited by a bad joke. Suddenly, Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay find themselves talking about how important coffee is in society, culture, and social gatherings. That naturally (?) progresses into the topic of how the public at large views surprises in pop culture today. We rail at movie studios for giving away too much of a movie’s plot in a trailer – but will we ever go see the film if they don’t do that? All of this and a lot MORE in Episode 111 of The Trampled Underfoot Podcast! We record LIVE every…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 110 – Ipswich Clams

    Episode 110 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast starts out as a mish-mash. First, Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay revisit the theme of cartoons from the 60s predicting the future. Then Mark cleans up the mess he made last week when bringing up the SS Warrimoo – the ship that existed in two different centuries at the same time. Finally, Eloy puts Mark on the spot with 6 fairly easy questions, that took way, way too long to answer, and required entirely too much thought on Mark’s part. We had a few other side trips as well, and you can be sure there’s a lot of fun and humor along the…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 103 – Head First

    Episode 103 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast is a bit of an odyssey. Mark Lindsay starts off by talking about the work he’s done on a project at home. Then he and Eloy Escagedo discuss a very cool project just finished by Mark’s wife Linda. This brings up the topic of how people dressed back in the 1700s, which ultimately leads to a discussion of an extreme fighting sport – sort of a medieval styled cage fight. The duo then jump around to the story of a man who bought the world’s cheapest electric car online and had it shipped to the US. Finally, they dive head first into the…

    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?…

Should you get into making YouTube videos? Curiously, they then ask and answer the question about preserving information digitally as opposed to physically.
