    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 128 – Done Dirt Cheap

    In Episode 128 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast; You know those people who, while in conversation or in writing, mention themselves first? We’re not sure, but that does not seem right to us. Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay talk about this with entertaining stories and examples. Next the hosts talk about a possible cashless society of the future, with implants we carry under our skin, bearing all our information. Does that sound even remotely feasible? But then again, we’re assuming that the future will be more advanced than the present, or that society will advance along the same trajectory we’re currently following.

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 125 – A Stoic Place For My Stuff

    In this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, Mark comes from out of left field with a topic that kind of throws Eloy off his stride. The topic is people who are well known for one thing, but are virtuoso level good at something else that’s unrelated. What surprises Eloy is Mark’s comments are almost exactly the topic he wanted to discuss. We talk about our friend Sterling Davis’s short comedy videos, our friend Daniel Harju’s amazing skills at woodworking, Stoic philosophy, Marcus Aurelius, collecting a ton of CRAP (Collectibles, Rare And Precious) over the years, and awesome quotes. All of this, plus a lot more in this fun episode…
