    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 – 133 – Comfortably Dumb

    In Episode 133 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast: Does a person’s attitude, likability, or personality change as we age, or do we maintain the same type of personality throughout our lives? Mark Lindsay has some opinions about it that might be just the opposite of what you think. Eloy Escagedo then shares his thoughts following his viewing of a video concerning a scientific round-table discussion of the Cambrian Explosion. They came to the conclusion that the math just doesn’t add up. Had enough time passed since the earth’s creation for such complex organisms to naturally evolve?
