To ask a travel question, or hear my travel answers, you can tune in to me from noon to two p.m. on Sundays
Every Sunday, from 12:06pm (the six earlier minutes are for the news) until 2 pm, Eastern standard time, I present a live broadcast called The Travel Show with Arthur Frommer on radio station W.O.R. in New York City (at 710 AM). It can be heard via a very strong signal throughout New Jersey, Connecticut, and the southern half of New York State, and is also carried by more than a hundred other stations scattered through the continental U.S. and in Hawaii. You can check your local newspaper to learn whether a station in your listening area carries the broadcast, on which I am often joined by my daughter, travel guide-writer Pauline Frommer (who also substitutes for me when I am traveling).
But even if no such nearby station carries the broadcast, there are countless ways in which you can hear it.
First, if you have broadband access to the Internet, you can hear the broadcast via so-called "streaming audio" on your laptop or desktop computer (equipped with a soundbox). Simply access www.wor710.com and then click on "Listen Live." All over the world, from Beijing to Timbuktu, the Internet now carries that broadcast live from noon to two.
And if you miss tuning in from noon to two, Eastern Standard Time, you can hear the most recent broadcast at any time over the following two weeks by turning to a podcast of it. Go to WOR's website, click on "Weekend Programming," then scroll down to "Arthur Frommer," and you'll find both Hours One and Two of the most recent two broadcasts. And via archives elsewhere on the site, you can access even earlier broadcasts of The Travel Show (and hear them crystal clear because of their digital transmission).
And finally, even if you don't have access to broadband or aren't near a computer, you can simply phone in a question to the program by dialing tel. 800/544-7070 between the hours of noon and two on Sundays. And although you may have to hang on for a few minutes before I get to you, get to you I eventually will -- and I'll be responding live to whatever travel question or comment you may pose.
To repeat: even if you don't have access to the program, you can phone in a question or comment live from noon until two on Sundays, and hear the answer or response live, over your telephone. Let's talk!
