    The Boston Tea Party of 1773

    Send us Fan Mail What if the way you drink tea could tell you where you stand in American history? From the invisible “Sweet Tea Line” that divides the United States today, to the explosive night of Boston Tea Party, this episode of Info On The Go traces how a simple drink became a symbol of culture, identity, and rebellion. Before coffee became king, tea ruled colonial America—fueling daily life, global trade, and political tension. But when Britain taxed tea and tightened control through the powerful British East India Company, colonists pushed back. And at the heart of that resistance were women—organizing boycotts, brewing “liberty teas,” and turning everyday routines into acts of defiance. We’ll unpack the economics, the smuggling networks, the protests, and the dramatic destruction of 342 chests of tea in Boston Harbor—along with the deeper stories often left out, including the role of the Sons of Liberty and the symbolism behind their actions. This is more than a story about tea—it’s about how ordinary habits can spark extraordinary change… and how a revolution can begin with something as simple as a cup.

    Pascal-B: The Fastest Lost Object in History (A Dash of Info)

    Send us Fan Mail In the middle of the Cold War, when nuclear weapons testing pushed science to its most extreme limits, one experiment may have accidentally launched the fastest object humanity has ever created. During a secret underground test known as Pascal-B, a 60-pound steel cap was welded onto the top of a deep test shaft. When the nuclear device detonated below, a high-speed camera captured the cap in a single frame—just one thousandth of a second—before it vanished forever. Did the blast vaporize it instantly? Or did the explosion accelerate the steel plate to unimaginable speeds—possibly faster than Earth’s escape velocity—sending it briefly into space? Decades later, even the scientists involved couldn’t say for sure. With only a single frame of film and a lot of physics to debate, Pascal-B remains one of the strangest mysteries of the Cold War: a moment when nuclear science, curiosity, and raw explosive force may have launched an object faster than anything in human history… and lost it in the process.

    Petrodollars

    Send us Fan Mail  Why does the world buy oil using U.S. dollars — even when that oil comes from thousands of miles away? In this episode, we explore the rise of the petrodollar system, a powerful financial arrangement born from Cold War politics, energy crises, and global economic change. From the collapse of the gold standard to the oil shocks of the 1970s, discover how oil revenues helped cement the dollar as the dominant currency in world trade — and why new economic powers, digital currencies, and the global energy transition could challenge that dominance in the years ahead. This is the story of how barrels of oil helped shape modern financial power — and what happens if that system begins to shift.  Harpoon Brewery The shop at Harpoon Brewery is packed with exclusive apparel, cozy hoodies, stylish accessories, and  Savorista Coffee (find them at SAVORISTA DOT COM) crafts premium decaf and half-caf coffee with full, rich flavor—wit Bear Knuckles If you work with your hands, listen up.

    The Toaster

    Send us Fan Mail A toaster might seem like one of the most ordinary appliances in your kitchen—just a simple machine that browns bread every morning. But behind that familiar pop is a surprisingly dramatic story of invention, engineering breakthroughs, corporate rivalry, and cultural change. In this episode, we explore how toasting bread evolved from a risky chore over open fires to one of the first automated kitchen appliances. Along the way, we’ll meet the inventors who made electric toasting possible, discover how the pop-up toaster revolutionized breakfast in the 1920s, and see how competition between major appliance companies turned a simple device into a symbol of the modern kitchen. From exposed wires and early fire hazards to smart toasters connected to today’s digital homes, the humble toaster reflects over a century of technological progress. It’s a story about innovation, convenience, and how even the smallest inventions can quietly reshape everyday life. So the next time your toast pops up, remember—you’re not just making breakfast. You’re witnessing a tiny piece of technological history.
