June 2026's edition of Roots Rendezvous.

Mark Knopfler's song 'Sailing to Philadelphia' explores the historical journey of the two English surveyors, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, who created the famous border, the Mason-Dixon Line, the symbolic boundary that still denotes the divide between the Northern and Southern United States. In this podcast we travel down the line and engage in songs about lines. Dividing lines, state lines, county lines, lines in the middle, lines crossed, lines in between, lines all the way through to the end of the line.
