BRC Imagination Arts' Brad Shelton

Once again, I had the distinct honor of appearing on the Season Pass Podcast. The main guest this episode was Brad Shelton of BRC Imagination Arts. We talked about world's fairs naturally, but more specifically Shanghai's Expo 2010 and the efforts to ensure the United States has a pavilion there. We also talk about the United States' last two world's fairs in Knoxville and New Orleans and the history of expo mascots.

Here are some links related to our conversation:

Expo 2010 Theme Song and Mascot

Expo 2010's theme song was presented at the unveiling of Haibao, the Expo 2010 mascot.

I'm hoping to find translated lyrics in English soon.

The frame around the video screen is meant to convey the design of Chinese National Pavilion.
