Eye on Travel

Peter Greenberg Worldwide—F.X. Matt Brewing Company, Oneida County, New York—November 5, 2016

Locations in this article:  Chicago, IL

oneida-countyThis week, the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from Oneida County in central New York and the legendary F.X. Matt Brewery in Utica. Joining Peter will be Arnie Weissmann, Editor- in-Chief of Travel Weekly, with his prediction of how the presidential election might affect travel and some of the things on his wishlist for the next administration. He’ll also share a report on how some airfares are starting to drop — and why. Ed Brophy, Executive Director of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, talks about the history of boxing in Central New York and how that history is celebrated at the Boxing Hall of Fame, with a few surprises, including “the ring.” One of our regulars, Mike Boyd, weighs in on the continuing security problems at some airports, as well as the decline of short haul air travel in the U.S. and what that means for affordable domestic flights in America. Cooperstown is only 45 minutes away from Utica, and Craig Muder from the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum stops by to reveal some of the hidden gems at the hall of fame, not to mention what will now be on display from the Chicago Cubs’ historic victory in game 7 of the world series. Bethan Maher from the Adirondack Scenic Railroad talks about this historic train; Bill Switzer from the New York State Canal Corporation discusses the history of the Erie canal; and Alex Davies from WIRED magazine delves into the future of driverless cars. And finally, Nick Matt Sr., a legacy brewer and owner of the F.X. Matt Brewing Company, talks about some of the little-known lagers—not to mention Peter’s favorite—Root Beer. There’s all that and more when the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from Oneida County, New York.
