Taij and Reign Lemonade, Freedom Fuel Gas Prices, and a PBS Finding Your Roots Update.

from The Spark · host WITF

Sisters Taij and Reign Saunders turned a neighborhood lemonade stand into RNT Lemonade, a growing business they launched in 2019 at just 11 and 9 years old. Inspired by Reign’s health challenges and their shared entrepreneurial spirit, the Pennsylvania-based sisters now travel throughout the region selling their popular lemonade at community events while working toward their dream of owning a food truck and opening a treat shop.A new gas station chain, Freedom Fuel Network, has drawn attention by offering unusually low gas prices while using branding tied to President Trump, but experts say the discounts are likely a short-term marketing strategy rather than a lasting solution for consumers. Reporter Jordan Wilkie explores the mystery behind the company’s undisclosed ownership, its potential impact on local gas prices, and why political associations may matter less to drivers than saving money at the pump.Professional genealogist and forensic researcher Sarah Fullem joins the podcast to share how historical records, DNA evidence, and investigative research help uncover family histories, identify heirs, and solve complex genealogical mysteries. Sarah also answers listener questions about tracing immigrant ancestors, finding early Scots-Irish records in Pennsylvania, and evaluating family tree hints on genealogy websites such as Ancestry.com. Megan Robertson shares her remarkable family history journey after appearing on PBS’s Finding Your Roots, where she uncovered new details about her great-grandfather’s ancestry and family connections. In this conversation, she reflects on the discoveries, the emotional impact of learning more about her heritage, and how the experience deepened her understanding of her family's story Check out her story here:Finding Your Roots | Megan Robertson's Search for Her Great-Grandfather's Roots | Season 10 | Episode 10 | PBSCumberland County woman "finds her roots" on PBS program | The Spark
