Show Notes
*Editor’s note: We had some catastrophic audio failures in this one, especially during the quiz. We were remotely recording early in the pandemic, and just about everything went wrong. Nonetheless, we hope you’ll enjoy the episode despite the sounds of the birds and cars, the echoes we couldn’t eliminate, and the fact that Noah’s whole quiz had to be pieces together from super compressed zoom audio!* We wanted to give our listeners the world...'s fair! We are joined by museum curator Kristina Parsons to dive headlong in the wide world of World's Fairs.
