Dive into the fascinating history of the Mason-Dixon Line, a boundary that shaped the geography and culture of early America. In this episode, we explore its origins in a colonial border dispute between Maryland and Pennsylvania, which escalated into Cresap’s War in the 1730s. Learn how King George II’s intervention and the expertise of English surveyors Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon brought resolution to this heated conflict.

We’ll also uncover the significance of the iconic stone markers, the role of the Mason-Dixon Line as a symbol of the division between North and South, and how it became one of the first great geodetic surveys in North America. From 18th-century politics to its lasting legacy today, this is a story of precision, perseverance, and profound impact.

Tune in to uncover the stories etched into one of America’s most iconic boundaries!

In this episode of Info on the Go, we dive into the creamy, controversial world of butter and margarine! What’s the difference between the two? We break it down, starting with the rich history of butter—a discovery dating back to 8000 B.C., born from the simple churning of milk cream. Then we explore margarine’s invention as a budget-friendly butter substitute, a creation inspired by a challenge from Napoleon III in the 19th century.

But it’s not just about the ingredients or methods—it’s about the drama! We delve into the Oleomargarine Wars, where politics, economics, and class tensions collided over the regulation and sale of margarine. From yellow dye controversies to cross-border smuggling, the battle between dairy farmers and margarine manufacturers is as fascinating as it is absurd.
