The Pink Monorail Podcast: Manufacturing the Magic Episode 4
In the fourth installment of this new educational series, Noe & Shelly look at even more early World’s Fairs. With the focus this time around being on French advances in themed entertainment.
In this episode, listeners will learn about:
- Why the Exposition Universelle de Paris of 1899 dwarfed all others
- How the temporary Eiffel Tower led to the discovery of gamma rays
- The problem with “human zoos”
- Why the Tower’s most vehement critic dined there every day
- Which themed international buildings served as a precursor for EPCOT’s World Showcase
Have you heard of a person that hated something so much that he paid for the experience to eat there? If you live in a place that had a classic expo I’d like to hear about it in the comments section. As always if you would like to sponsor me
