World's Fair Podcast

Thursday, John McGregor of Foundation Expo '88 and I will start recording Episode Zero of the World's Fair Podcast.

Why Episode Zero and not Episode One? Well, we're going to consider this a practice frame. This one won't count. There are a lot of technical challenges to setting this up (not the least of which is the fact that the two hosts live on opposite sides of the planet), so I hope folks will be patient with the quality.

Our zeroeth episode will likely feature us discussing our backgrounds. Between us, we've been to 10 of the last 12 international expositions (neither of us went to Expo '85 in Tsukuba or Genoa Expo '92).

In the coming weeks, we'll be looking to interview folks about past world's fairs, current world's fairs (Expo 2010 starts in less than 5 months!) and future world's fairs including the possible bids for 2017, 2018, and 2020.

We have a few ideas in mind for possible future episodes, but I'd love to hear from folks about possible topics and guests. What would you like to hear about? Who would you like to hear from?
