1. WW2, I would want to know what life during such a chaotic time would be.

2. George Washington, it would be an interesting conversation and fun to talk military and politics.

3. Surf board would be fun, but not very useful... I'd probs bring a bicycle if thrown back before electricity... that or a book about the development and how to of electricity and mechanics.

• If you could visit any historical era for a day, where would you go?
• Not "where", but "when"? There is so many. I'd go for mid-18th century for the salon gatherings, preferably in a country where I understand the language
• You get to have dinner with a historical figure—who do you choose?
• Armand Cardinal Duplessis, (=Cardinal Richelieu) or King Lous XI of France - both forward-looking statesmen
• You accidentally time-traveled to the past with only one modern item. What would be the most useful?
• My switch-blade knife and proper underwear to be safe
• If you could relive one moment from your own past, what would it be? (Listeners only)
• There are plenty good memories. I'd love to ride Valbergais (a trotter recycled as a saddle horse) again when we followed hunts ; playing bridge with my grandparents ; going to at a Têt (Vietnamese New Year's) party at the Communist Headquarters in Paris ; flying in an old propeller plane at night with my father (we were both nervous) ; playing the Celtic harp together with Alain Stivell ; come to think of it, a bunch of concerts that went quite well too; watching operas with parents ; being ecstatic at the unexpected grades I got for a national exam and pranking my family about it ; visiting a 18th century château with my Literature teacher ; taking some good sisters from the convent to visit a Japanese professor who played his bamboo full organ for us ; waking up late in the morning to my father ushering four young men into my bedroom (they were bringing back dinnerware from a party the previous night) ; hitch-hiking in Ireland ; entertaining restaurant dinners with my Latin teacher ; beating my 25-year old stepson at badminton when I was 48 ; meeting my newborn sons ; pranking my husband with a much-needed and huge Xmas gift ; watching my mum run into the rising tide to retrieve her petticoat (1959) without getting her hair wet (because of the "do") then running again to pull one of my little brothers out of the water (I was not that nice back then).
• You land in the future! What’s the first thing you check?(Listener only)
• I would first check if my tombstone is where I wanted it to be.

• You accidentally time-traveled to the past with only one modern item. What would be the most useful? I would take my cell phone so I can gps where I am going and use the phone rather than pay phones. I remember some of them not always working right 

• If you could visit any historical era for a day, where would you go? When I was 9, Apollo 11 landed on the moon. It was summer time, so we viewed it at home, but when school started again in September, they had an assembly in the library and showed a film of it on the projection screen. It was magical, watching the landing, the first steps and the planting of the flag, then, re-living the splash-down, waiting that week while they stayed in isolation, and watching the (now infamous) President greeting them as they emerged! I would go back and relive that magic.
• You get to have dinner with a historical figure—who do you choose? Edgar Cayce
• You accidentally time-traveled to the past with only one modern item. What would be the most useful?  penicillin
