Rat Boyz Presents: The Musclecast

Producer/Engineer: Bill Pollock Editors: Sarah Rendo/Robert J. Baumann  Cover: Rob Mitchell George Washington Carver. America’s greatest inventor. Tesla of the Midwest. Some call him the Peanut Butter Genie. Mr. Carver spent a summer learning stenography in the Union Telegraph Building.   The summer of 1885 changed his life and the face of sandwiches forever.   Young Carver was destined to cultivate great thought from the fields of his fertile mind––but even geniuses get hungry.   To prepare for vast mental surveys Carver would often make bread sandwiches. One day while preparing a largely lightweight limp bread sandwich, Carver wondered if the flavor of the bread would be enhanced by a companion.   And so Carver began a great experiment. First he sprinkled pepper on the bread, but it made the sandwiches far too peppery. Second he sprinkled salt on the bread but it made the sandwiches far too salty. Third, he sprinkled a handsome collection of beans between the slices of bread, but it tasted like a dry soup.
