In 1386, in a small medieval town, a pig stood trial for murder.

This wasn’t folklore or superstition—it was a real courtroom, with real legal procedures, witnesses, and even a defense lawyer. In a world where law, religion, and daily survival were deeply intertwined, justice wasn’t just for humans. It was a public act meant to restore order in a fragile and unpredictable world.

In this episode, we step into the cold stone courts of medieval Europe to explore one of history’s most unusual legal practices: the trial of animals. What seems bizarre today once made perfect sense—and reveals a deeper truth about how people understood responsibility, morality, and control in a time before modern science.

Because sometimes, the strangest stories tell us the most about how people once saw the world.

Step into the streets of Ancient Rome and experience a full day in one of history’s greatest cities—not as an emperor or general, but as an ordinary citizen. From the crowded apartments of the working class to the elegant homes of the wealthy, this episode brings daily Roman life to life from sunrise to nightfall.

Walk bustling streets, grab a quick meal from ancient “fast food” stalls, relax in massive public baths, and witness the spectacle of the Colosseum. Along the way, discover how people worked, socialized, and survived in a city that was as chaotic as it was powerful.

Because history isn’t just about empires…
 It’s about the people who lived in them.

In this episode, we explore how a narrow stretch of water between Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman became one of the most powerful pressure points in the global economy. From ancient trade networks and imperial rivalries to modern oil dependence and military standoffs, the Strait of Hormuz has shaped the movement of wealth, energy, and power for thousands of years. 

Follow the evolution of this critical corridor—from early Persian maritime influence to the rise of European empires, from the oil boom of the 20th century to the high-stakes tensions of today. Along the way, discover how geography alone can dictate global vulnerability, why a single disruption can ripple across economies worldwide, and how modern threats—from naval conflict to cyber warfare—continue to put this fragile system under strain. 

Because in a world built on constant movement, sometimes the most important place isn’t a destination—it’s the narrow passage everything must pass through.

 Why do men’s shirts button on the right, while women’s button on the left? It seems like a tiny, almost meaningless detail—but it actually reveals a fascinating story rooted in centuries of history, class structure, and social norms. In this episode of Info On The Go, we explore how something as simple as button placement reflects a time when clothing signaled power, independence, and status. From medieval Europe to modern fashion, you’ll discover how tradition, practicality, and even psychology shaped the way we get dressed today—and why this small detail still sticks with us.

 What looks like a peaceful stretch of water in Reelfoot Lake hides a dark and violent past. In the early 1900s, a bitter land dispute between wealthy investors and local families spiraled into chaos when masked vigilantes—known as the Night Riders—took justice into their own hands. Homes were burned, families were driven out, and fear ruled the shoreline. When a shocking हत्या brought national attention, the state was forced to intervene. This episode uncovers a chilling true story of power, survival, and what happens when the rule of law disappears.

When you hear “ringworm,” you probably imagine a creepy parasite—but the truth is far less sinister and far more fascinating. In this episode, we uncover the real story behind ringworm: a common fungal infection that’s been affecting humans for over 2,000 years. From ancient medical texts in India, Greece, and Rome to bizarre treatments involving mercury, sulfur, and even X-rays, the history of ringworm is as surprising as its name.

We break down what ringworm actually is, how it spreads, why it’s so contagious, and the many ways it can show up on the body—from athlete’s foot to scalp infections. You’ll also learn how modern medicine finally cracked the code with effective antifungal treatments, and what you can do to protect yourself, your family, and even your pets.

It’s itchy, it’s persistent, and it’s everywhere—but with the right knowledge, it’s also completely manageable. Let’s clear up the myths and get to the root of one of the world’s oldest and most misunderstood infections.

From the rise of Cyrus the Great and the vast Achaemenid Empire to royal banquets, political debate, and the surprising wisdom behind “the morning after,” this is a story about power, psychology, and how great civilizations may have balanced instinct with reason.
