Winston Churchill because I am fascinated with British politics and think he is one of the most influential politicians in history!
Julie Andrews since the “Sound of Music” is my favorite movie and I would like to hear her stories on growing up in Hollywood and staying away from a big scandal even though she lost her voice.
Michael Phelps because he is the best Olympian in history and I think it would be fun to talk about what happens at the Olympics from an athlete’s perspective.
