Radio Guest List – Fire Island, New York– September 10, 2011

Locations in this article:  Chicago, IL

This week’s episode of Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio is dedicated to remembering 9/11. Peter is joined by some very special guests, many of whom reported from New York on September 11, 2001. One such guests is Mark Bittman, who was waiting in the greenroom with Peter that day as they first heard word of the attacks.

In addition to remembering the terror attacks, Peter asks his guests the hard questions: How has travel changed in the last ten years? What have we learned? What lessons have we actually applied? And what still needs to be done?
