For our April of 2024 episode, we revisit a show first released in September of 2017, which was part of our 2017 four part summer series. This now being the 60th anniversary of the 1964 New York World's Fair, we felt it was timely to present, yet again, our tribute to "It's a Small World."

September 2017 - This week Chris, Will and Ruthie discuss the final installment in their four-part series covering the 1964 New York World's Fair. For the final World's Fair episode, they delve deep into the long history of the "Happiest Cruise that Ever Sailed the Seven Seas," the classic Walt Disney musical attraction, It's a Small World.
