This week the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show comes from the legendary R.M.S. Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. Guests include ship historian Peter Knego, who talks about the iconic ship, its stories, its ghosts, and the fascinating mythology that continues to surround it. Commodore Everette Hoard weighs in with even more great stories of the ship and its celebrated passengers.
Speaking of history, Keeley Smith, Executive Editor of the Long Beach Post, discusses how Long Beach was often seen as a blue collar town, and how that reputation is changing rapidly. One example of that is The Long Beach Museum of Art. Sue Ann Robinson, the museum’s Director of Collections & Exhibitions, reveals the museum has more artwork created by female artists than most museums around the country.
Sasha Kanno, President, Farmer & Founder of Farm Lot 59, explains how she created a small farm in the middle of a large city, the crops she grows, and how she works with chefs from local restaurants to deliver true farm-to-table cuisine. Joe Brancatelli, founder of JoeSentMe.com, reports on the battle between Uber and local taxicabs and rental car companies. He also explains why business travelers continue to prefer hotels to Airbnb.
Stephanie Ervin, Content Editor for PeterGreenberg.com and Long Beach resident, discusses our hot destinations to visit in 2016, and shares what she loves most about Long Beach—and some facts about the city most visitors might find surprising.
