Welcome to the debut of a new podcast!

Hidden Track is a short-form podcast. You get to the end of a CD, and after five minutes of silence, suddenly a new song starts playing. On these shows we will be taking a closer look at one or maybe two topics from the In My Footsteps Podcast archives. These are likely from Top 5's or other list segments and deserve more love.

On the premiere episode, we are going to dive deep into two pieces of odd headgear. The Isolator Helmet was meant to be a way to minimize distractions in the 1920s. The TV Hat was a way to keep all of the distractions right in front of you. Were either of them successful?

Originally debuting exclusively on Patreon, Hidden Track clocks in around 15 minutes. The shows will be available months in advance on Patreon before becoming a part of the rotation on the main podcast feed.

Enjoy this new bite-sized podcast. They will be available on the first Sunday of each month going forward. For access to the shows as soon as they debut you can become a member on Patreon.
