This week, Peter is broadcasting from the Foxwoods Resort & Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.

But since Mashantucket is rather tiny, we went a bit broader and asked some locals about the things throughout southeastern Connecticut that make their area unique.

So check out what our local guides recommend for nearby towns like New London, Mystic Seaport, and Groton in southeastern Connecticut. 

Peter is broadcasting his radio show from the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, Colorado at The Little Nell this weekend.

Aspen is an outdoor-lover’s paradise, a foodie’s delight, and a place to see and be seen among the beautiful people.

But you don’t have to be a celebrity or a millionaire to enjoy the happenings in this tiny town (only half a mile wide and one mile long).

Read on to find out where the locals like to eat, drink and play.

On June 11, 2009, Peter was live from The Peninsula Bangkok in Bangkok, Thailand. His guests for the first hour include:

Arnie Weissmann, editor in chief of Travel Weekly, fills us in on the latest travel industry news.

Historian Steve Van Beek, author of Bangkok Then and Now, explores Thai history and culture.

Still reeling from the Vivid Sydney festival, Amanda Pressner ventured off the beaten path to explore the goings-on beyond the city center.

There are certain cities that can be reasonably explored in a day or two, maybe a long weekend, but Sydney isn’t among them.

Sure, visitors could probably tick its iconic highlights (the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach, Circular Quay) off their checklist in a matter of hours, but they’d almost certainly overlook the destinations that make Australia’s most populous city so funky and diverse.

Peter broadcast his show from the new Hotel Palomar, a Kimpton hotel in Atlanta Midtown. We checked in with some of his local guests to find out their favorite hangouts and other “pockets of funk” in the city, from the best burger joint to some of the coolest blues in the nation.

So check out what Atlanta locals say makes their city worthy of the nickname “Hotlanta.”

It’s probably a safe bet that when the late Danish architect Jorn Utzon first conceived of the multi-sailed structure that would become the Sydney Opera House, he never imagined that his ambitious vision would turn into another artist’s masterpiece.

But that’s exactly what happened at dusk on Tuesday night, when internationally renowned music producer Brian Eno transformed the icon into one of the world’s largest three-dimensional canvases.

With the flip of a switch—and the help of some mega-size projectors—the curved exterior panels of the Opera House were lit up in a kaleidoscopic display of light and color.
