    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. The hosts do a fine job of connecting those wildly spread dots to give you a semi-cohesive, semi-compelling, and hopefully semi-entertaining listening experience. 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 – 143 – Music From The Mud

    In 1974, Ronnie Van Zant sang. “Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers. And they’ve been known to pick a song or two,” in the song Sweet Home Alabama. What the heck did he mean by that?
