A Sweet Treat To Beat The Heat! This episode is all about Soft-Serve Ice Cream, that delicious, simple, magical stuff that you can find at independent family-owned stands all across central Pennsylvania. We got a great interview with Penn State's wizard of ice cream, Dr. Bob Roberts, the man who runs the famous Penn State Ice Cream Short Course. He tells us all about what soft-serve is, and isn't. Then we visit TEN soft-serve stands across six counties, and I rediscover the all-American cheeseburger. 

Plus some cool extras! We have our first celebrity guest drinker, Glen Macnow, radio personality from WIP SportsRadio in Philadelphia, and he and I drink beer floats, beer with ice cream (Glen actually had a cider float, which I've never had before). We also have our first promotion! The Rails and Ales Brewfest of Altoona has given us a promo code just for STAG listeners to get five bucks off a general admission ticket for this August 19th beer festival. That's big-time podcast stuff, baby! Listen to the episode to get the code. 

Next episode? I've got a couple things cooking: might be a coffee episode, might be a south-central town visit. We'll find out in two weeks; meanwhile, let's go for ice cream!
