Actually yes… we’re doing an entire episode on peanuts—and naturally, peanut butter too.

On this nutty (but not actually a nut) edition of Info On The Go, we dig deep into the underground legume that shaped diets, science, agriculture, and pop culture. From ancient Incan peanut paste to the classic PB&J, from George Washington Carver’s revolutionary innovations to Elvis Presley’s legendary "Fool’s Gold Loaf," we’ve got it all covered—creamy or chunky.

But this episode is more than just a snack. We explore:

Why peanuts aren’t really nuts
How they fix nitrogen and improve soil
The rise of peanut allergies and how science is responding
The global peanut trade, American farming, and Georgia’s peanut empire
Peanut butter hacks you’ve probably never tried.
And how peanut shells could power your house—or your hybrid battery

So grab a spoon, a slice of bread, or maybe even a skillet. Whether you’re here for the flavor, the facts, or the Fool’s Gold, it’s Peanut and Peanut Butter Time on Info On The Go!

Thank You for listening and Stay curious,
Kat & William
