    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 139 – To Err Is Truman

    In Episode 139 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast: Mark Lindsay did the unthinkable – he watched a movie that Eloy Escagedo suggested he watch almost 2 years ago. Yes, we’re talking about the 1998 Jim Carrey film, The Truman Show. This not only opened up a conversation about the movie, it spawned other diversions that are related to the premise of the movie. Was it inspired by a book? Was it inspired by an episode from the 1980s re-boot of The Twilight Zone? Is there really such a thing as The Truman Show Delusion? Next, the question of how comfortable we are with giving away our privacy in exchange for…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 138 – Turtles All The Way Down

    In Episode 138 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast: Mark Lindsay and Eloy Escagedo were having an online conversation and a few key words were mentioned. It just so happens that Eloy later received multiple video suggestions on those very same words and topics. It all started with the saying, “It’s turtles all the way down!” This opens up the first two conversations on this episode: advertising and marketing through the knowledge of people’s online habits, and where did the origin of reality first start? Next, the question of how comfortable are we with the trade off of giving away our privacy in exchange for access to entertainment and information? The…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 104 – Fashionably Late With Nowhere To Go

    Episode 104 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast is a bit different. Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay begin the episode by touching on the explosion in Lebanon. Their initial thoughts were discussed, but remember that the episode was recorded only a few hours after the explosion occurred. As the conversation gets deeper, as they often do, the subject of conspiracies comes up. Mark then says that Eloy is a bit more speculative by nature, while Mark tends to be more observational. Well, that just starts a back and forth because Eloy was not having it! The Trampled Team then gets into some old favorite discussions such as the moon landing and…

    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…
