October 25, 2008

Peter is broadcasting live from the Apple Vacations/Newark Star-Ledger Travel Show at the Westfield Armory in Westfield, NJ.

He’ll chat with Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) about his recent letter to airline CEOS urging them to reduce fuel surcharges now that the price of oil has dropped.

Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman, co-authors of Weird N.J.: Your Travel Guide to New Jersey’s Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets (along with Weird U.S. and many more), will be talking to Peter about—you guessed it—the weirdest places in New Jersey.

And, we’ll hear from Deborah Sharp, author of Mama Does Time, a quirky murder mystery with a Southern-fried edge.

Patricia Martinelli, author of True Crime: New Jersey will discuss New Jersey’s colorful past (including the origins of the Sopranos!).
