    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 88 – Rockin’ 88

    “When did you start playing drums Mark?” That’s where this episode kicks off at.

We follow up on the subject of drums and talk about famous musicians and who are the most under-rated drummers of Rock.

    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 – 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?…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 83 – If I Could Talk to the Animals

    How much do animals really know? Do we underestimate their cognitive abilities? Can they communicate with us? Or, on the flip side of that, do we over estimate their intelligence? Are they truly ruled by instinct and nothing else? Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay discuss this topic with examples from dogs, apes, and other animals. Plus, they talk about some of the many tests we have read about, as well as documentaries they’ve watched on this subject. It’s truly fascinating! Then they run through a short list of famous (and not so famous) “Firsts” from around the world. We’ll leave the details out for now, but you can hear all…

    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,…
