Send us a text
Have you ever stopped to wonder what women used during their periods throughout history? If so, you’re in luck! In this episode, we explore the fascinating and often surprising history of menstrual products, from ancient ingenuity to modern innovation.
Discover how women in the Stone Age used leather and moss pads, how Ancient Egyptians crafted tampon-like devices from papyrus, and how Middle Age misconceptions led to unusual solutions like dried toad powder belts. Learn about the pivotal inventions that shaped modern menstruation products, from the Hoosier Sanitary Belt to the first disposable pads developed during WWI, and the evolution of tampons and menstrual cups in the 20th century.
We also dive into the cultural and societal shifts that influenced product design and marketing, including the rise of adhesive pads in the 1970s and the introduction of absorbent gels in the 1990s, aimed at reducing Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) risks.
Join us for an insightful journey through time, shedding light on the ways menstruation has been managed, misunderstood, and innovated across centuries.

January 22, 2025 Opioids
Send us a text
In this episode, we delve into the intricate history of opioids and how they paved the way for the emergence of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that has transformed pain management and fueled a modern crisis.
From the ancient use of opium as the “joy plant” to the creation of morphine and heroin in the 19th century, opioids have both alleviated pain and caused widespread addiction. Learn about the development of fentanyl by Belgian physician Dr. Paul Janssen in the 1950s, its potent medical applications, and the alarming rise of illicit fentanyl driving the opioid epidemic today.
We also explore the science behind opioids, their effects on the body, and the devastating consequences of misuse and overdose. Find out how drugs like naloxone (Narcan) can save lives and how society is grappling with the dual nature of opioids as both a medical necessity and a public health challenge.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, help is available. Call the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP.

January 13, 2025 Butter or Margarine (Play It Again Monday)
Send us a text
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.
