National Ice Cream Day was this past Sunday, and if this unrelenting heat is good for one thing, it’s creating the perfect backdrop for a cold treat. This hour is all about ice cream in Nashville. What are some current trends? What is the scene like? We learn a little about the “queen of ice cream” back in 1840s Nashville, meet some of the people churning away today and finally ride shotgun on an ice cream truck.

But first, there are four charter amendments on the Aug. 4 ballot. We’ll break down what they are, and what people are saying about the pros and cons. Registered to vote? Not sure where or how? Check out our Citizen Nashville voting basics.

Guests:

  • Steve Cavendish, editor, Nashville Banner
  • Megan Seling, Sugar Shock columnist, Nashville Scene
  • Lokelani Alabanza, Saturated Ice Cream
  • Sam Brooker, KOKOS Ice Cream
  • Guru Singh, Sarabhas Creamery
