Peter Greenberg Worldwide—The Broadmoor, Colorado Springs, Colorado—March 25, 2017

Locations in this article:  Berlin, Germany

11This week the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from legendary hotel The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Joining Peter Greenberg will be Jack Stewart, Senior Editor for WIRED Magazine with a report on America’s travel infrastructure and an update on driverless cars. Then Mitch Snow from The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb talks about the grueling auto race. Colorado Springs Fire Chief Ted Collas discusses high altitude fire fighting — and reveals the best off-the-brochure places to eat. Mike Boyd, President and CEO of Boyd Group International, discusses potential interruptions to the current airline apple-cart, including the very real possibility of 2.4 Mach supersonic airliners and the emerging parallel universe of budget airlines. Spencer Wren, General Manager of Pikes Peak Cog Railway, talks about the history of the railway as a draw for tourists and the surprising toll the altitude can take on unprepared passengers. Then, we hear about two great museums. Leah Witherow, Curator at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, opens up about the “Story of Us,” the museum’s newest exhibit which marries the area’s rich local heritage and modern technology to give visitors a personal connection with history. Doug Mudd, Curator at the American Numismatic Association’s Money Museum, tells Peter why the Money Museum is one of the best kept secrets in town, and what money can teach us about history. There’s all that and more as the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
