Peter Greenberg Worldwide—Breckenridge, Colorado—August 29, 2015

gobreckThis week, the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show comes from Breckenridge, Colorado, a former gold mining town that’s home to a little more than 3,500 year-round residents. But in the winter, up to 20,000 ski fanatics head for Breckenridge. In the summer, the population also swells, and for good reason.

Joining us is George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog, with a surprising ten-year survey on airfares. Ace network television producer Sandy Gleysteen reports on her deep immersion at Miraval in Arizona, which is so much more than a traditional spa—and the growing trend of wellness vacations around the world.

Then, beer expert Kate Coakley keeps it local with a report on the explosion of craft beers in Colorado (and her favorite local brews). The fire chief tells us his secret hangouts around town, and last but not least, John Warner, Breckenridge’s mayor (and also a dentist) stops by to give us some of the town’s special history, and then explains the funny—and strange—story of how he got named the tooth fairy, and why he continues to wear the special costume. There’s all of this and more on this week’s broadcast of the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show from Breckenridge, Colorado.
