Travel back in time to the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair with me as we cover both a music review of the fantastic CD box set called "Walt Disney and the 1964 New York World's Fair" and a review of "Yesterday's Tomorrow: Disney's Magical Mid-Century" by Don Hahn. I also make note of some worthy academic journal articles on Carousel of Progress and it's a small world that you can check out for free. See end of show notes.
However, the main feature is an engaging discussion on the "Yesterday's Tomorrow" book with guests Courtney Guth and Emily McDermott, co-hosts of the Book of the Mouse Club podcast. We talk about a number of topics featured in the book, including Disney technology, Mineral King, Mary Blair, early Disneyland, Disney's foray into television, and, of course, the 1964 New York World's Fair.
