This week’s broadcast of the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show comes from the Loneliest Highway in America (Highway 50), from the Pony Express Territory in Fallon, Nevada. Joining Peter will be Scott McCartney, Travel Editor for The Wall Street Journal, who lets us in on how the technology some airlines are using helps solve lost luggage issues. He also speaks about the huge ground congestion and traffic issues at New York’s LaGuardia Airport and Los Angeles International. Clara Bingham, Award-Winning Journalist and Author of Witness to the Revolution: Radicals, Resisters, Vets, Hippies, and the Year America Lost Its Mind and Found Its Soul, explains how the revolutionary late 1960s influenced America, and how the actions of the past parallel current society (Hint: Peter is in the book!). Richard Bangs, Co-Founder of Mountain Travel Sobek, a founding member of the executive team at Expedia.com, and CEO of White Nile Media, speaks about the rise in virtual reality in the travel industry as well as the convenience and luxury of the Istanbul Atatürk Airport. Mark Bassett, Executive Director at Nevada Northern Railway, talks about its amazing/still-working railway in nearby Ely, where visitors can actually operate the trains. Talk about a hands-on experience! Robert Moor, Author of On Trails: An Exploration, explains the importance of trails and shares stories of Nimblewill Nomad, a perpetual walker who recently walked the entirety of the Pony Express National Historic Trail. Also, Ed Spear, President of the Pony Express Territory, discusses why the Pony Express will always be a pivotal part of American history, as well as what the courageous Pony Express riders had to endure during their rides in the 1800s. There’s all of this and more as the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from the Pony Express in Fallon, Nevada.
