An Introduction to World's Fairs/ Expositions

Welcome to the introduction episode to a special series that we are doing all about the World's Fair/ Exposition! This episode looks at what makes a World's Fair/ Expo into what it is, the beginnings of these special events, and who now organizes these six month long spectacles. Keep an eye out for further episodes that will dive into each of the official World Fair/ Expos alongside two special episodes that cover the 1964/ 1965 New York unofficial World Fair and the 1986 Vancouver Recognized Expo.
