In My Footsteps Podcast Mixtape #5: Blink and You'll Miss It Retro Segments(9-9-2026)



 Happy Labor Day! When this episode premieres, I will be on location producing my first feature film, The Cabin. Thank you to everyone who donated to the fundraiser and helped to get this project made!

Being on location means that in place of a new podcast episode, you get Mixtape #5

All of the Blink and You'll Miss It retro segments are here in chronological order.

They contain foods, toys, television shows, miscellaneous products, and more that were here and gone in a relative flash. If you weren't around when they came out, you might have no memory of them ever existing. 

You will laugh. You will shake your head. Maybe you'll go scouring your basement to see if you have any of the items mentioned, as they might fetch a few bucks on eBay.

Enjoy some memories in mixtape form on the podcast. Happy Labor Day weekend, and thank you again for all of the support for the podcast and my other creative ventures!

In My Footsteps Podcast Mixtape #3: Product Fails of the 1960s - 1990s(12-24-2025)

 


Order a copy of my debut film, Cape Cod Cthulhu!

Merry Christmas Eve to all who are celebrating! This week, there is something special left under your tree. It is a gift you don't have to wait until Christmas Day to open. A brand new mixtape!

Mixtape #3 delivers all of the product failures of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s in one convenient podcast episode. These are the things you wouldn't want to get from Santa.

This look back at product fails runs the gamut. From Betamax to the Amphicar, from New Coke to Crystal Pepsi, there are loads of big name fails and just as many that will have you running to Google to search for.

Whatever decade you grew up in the fails were there and have all been collected in this new Mixtape episode. So sit back, relax, and hope that you can find the receipt if you get any of these products as a gift this holiday season.

Merry Christmas to all of my listeners!

In My Footsteps Podcast Mixtape #2: Dedication To the Craft Photography Stories(11-26-2025)

 


It's Thanksgiving week and what better dish to bring to the table than a brand new Mixtape! Just be sure to have a pencil on hand in case the tape gets tangled.

Mixtape #2 brings together all of the Dedication To the Craft photography segments featured thus far on the show.

It began with an interview with professional photographer Steve Drozell. Here you will find useful tips for beginning a photo journey.

From there, it is storytime with trips to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, some interesting night photography adventures, and some creepy stories of close encounters with coyotes while out on shoots.

You will laugh, shake your head, and maybe even learn a thing or two. Mainly, you will be entertained.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my listeners!

In My Footsteps Podcast: Mixtape #1: Classic Mall Stores of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s(7-23-2025)

 


Grab your portable tape deck. Make sure it has fresh batteries, and pop in this mixtape!

It's something new this week on the podcast: the first mixtape. We are bringing multiple segments from past shows together in one super-sized episode. Every now and then, these will appear as a change of pace from the typical show. 

Mixtape #1 is all about classic mall stores of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. In total, there are 30 stores that we will take a look back at. 

The indoor mall is still a popular destination today; however, its heyday was definitely the '70s through the '90s. 


You didn't need much money, as the 'mall rat' identity only required you to be inside a mall hanging out with friends. Kids of the day could spend hours sitting on benches or wandering the corridors, looking into some of the stores that will be mentioned on this show.

How many of these stores did you spend hard-earned money at?
