Today we have a special episode for you on this Thursday, December 27th, 2018!
Instead of our typical roundup of the day's news in less than 10 minutes, we're using this holiday week to refresh our memories about some of the "Thing to Know Thursday" interviews from 2018!
Every Thursday (after the day's news), experts have shared their knowledge about a variety of topics - from self-driving cars and a possible Space Force to online dating and the royal wedding.
So today, you'll hear short clips from several of those interviews as we take a look back at the topics of the year. Enjoy!
Find links to the full interviews in today's show notes at https://www.theNewsWorthy.com (just click Episodes).
In a special New Year’s episode, Jon, Jon, Tommy, Dan, Erin Ryan, DeRay Mckesson, Ana Marie Cox, Ira Madison, and Louis Virtel discuss their resolutions for 2019.
