This week’s Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The official opening of the Broadmoor was in 1918, a building constructed on the same land where the original Broadmoor Casino stood before burning to the ground. Once a hotel that only allowed “old school money tabs” or cash as forms of payment, the Broadmoor now welcomes guests from all over the world…and yes, they accept credit cards.

Richard Sauers, Executive Director of the Western Museum of Mining & Industry, joins us to discuss why Colorado’s Western Museum is considered a functional museum and why people travel from around the world to see working mining equipment. Then, Harris Kalofonos of the International Olympic Committee details how Colorado Springs became an Olympic Sister City. We also speak with Dallas Morning News‘ Terry Maxon, who gives the sad truth of why lower fuel prices still won’t result in lower airfares. All this and more when Peter Greenberg Worldwide broadcasts from The Broadmoor.
