    Interviews with the Experts: Judith A. Yates | This Day's Trivia: Oct 18th
    Oct 18 2024

    We’re breaking format today and introducing a series we’re calling “interviews with the experts”. In acknowledgement of National Crime Prevention Month we have a special guest on the show. Criminologist and author Judith A Yates. I interview her to ask her about her life and career, and also to get some great tips on crime safety and prevention. Then, we take the quiz. I introduce five topics, then ask Judith 16 questions about one of those topics chosen at random that she may know nothing about! How did she do? You don’t want to miss it! Topics today: 1. Moby Dick first published

    2. Possession of Alaska from Russia

    3. Birthday of Jean-Claude Van Damme

    4. World Cravat Day

    5. World Menopause Day Judith's score: Judith answered half of the questions correctly. Not too bad for being totally unprepared! Want more of our conversation?
