In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 250: Listener's Choice - Bad Acting In A Kmart Training Video, 1980s Soap Opera Fails, Worst Actors Ever(6-24-2026)

Donate to the GoFundMe for my feature-length film, The Cabin!

We're celebrating 250 episodes of the podcast with a special Listener's Choice show. Everything on this show was voted on by you, the listeners!

It begins with a look at some soap opera fails from the 1980s. Daytime and primetime had their share of terrible shows. Cheap imitations, forced intrigue, boring show topics, all of that and more are here.

Attention Kmart shoppers! This week, we are looking at a hilariously poorly acted Kmart employee training video from 1992. It beats you over the head with their 'smart sales plan,' but remember it's not an extended warranty.

This week's Top 5 features the worst of the worst when it comes to acting. Poor box office performance, terrible critic reviews, loads of Razzie nominations. Some of these are obvious, maybe a few are surprising, but all make the list of worst actors ever.

And of course, there is a new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the delicious invention of the ring donut.

Thank you so much to everyone who has listened over the years and helped me make it to 250 episodes of the podcast. Here's to the next 250!

In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 236: Legend of Zelda Turns 40, Help To Prevent 'Shrink' at A&P, Weird Old Baseball Parks(3-18-2026)

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

40 years of Zelda. Preventing 'shrink' at A&P. The weirdest old baseball parks.

Spring arrives with Episode 236 of the podcast. Things may not be blooming yet, but the nostalgia is always in season.

40 years ago, an icon of video games made its debut for Nintendo. We look back at the release of the original Legend of Zelda. It was more than a game; it was a game-changer. Link, Hyrule, the Triforce, and some classic 8-bit music are on the table as we chat about one of the greatest games ever made.

Think to prevent shrink. This is the motto of a hilariously stereotypical employee training video put together by A&P Supermarkets in 1992. Our host leads us through all of the pitfalls of working in a grocery store, like broken eggs, weirdos in the back room, customers commandeering pricing guns, and smoking where you shouldn't.

In honor of the new MLB season getting ready to start this week's Top 5 looks at the weird and unique old parks of the past. Giant walls, mosquitoes, moveable fences, and more await.

There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the very first professional baseball team.

In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 222: Remembering Ozzy Osbourne, A Hilarious 90s Subway Employee Training Video, Thanksgiving Day Parade Mishaps(12-3-2025)

Remembering Ozzy Osbourne on his birthday. A hilariously dated Subway employee training video. Some of the wildest mishaps during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Episode 222 kicks off December and the Holiday Season with a package of GenX nostalgia tucked neatly under the tree.

It all begins with a celebration of the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne, on what would have been his 77th birthday. A creator of heavy metal, a celebrated icon of music, a reality TV star, and more. Ozzy transcended music and became a pop culture legend. We dive deep into his life and the accomplishments of the man himself.

Awkward interactions, questionable hygiene, and seriously weak attempts at humor. You'll find all of this and more in a hilariously dated employee training video from Subway in 1993. All you need to know is there is a pie chart of customer complaints, with one of them being not wearing gloves, and the very next scene is an employee making a sub without gloves. A classic video for sure.

Thanksgiving might be over but there is more turkey day fun to be had. In a new Top 5 we look at some of the biggest Macy's Day Parade mishaps. Hint: They all involve rogue balloons.

There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule, where we look at the crazy but true story of the woman who was struck by a meteorite.
