We have experienced Paris through the words of Hemingway and Balzac, the colors of Chagall and Delaunay, the wild adventures of Henry Miller, the recipes of Julia Child, the stars of Michelin, and the curated lists of Fodor's, Frommer's, and Lonely Planet. Yet, few have explored Paris through the unique perspective of the “Exposition Universelle”—the World's Fair, or World Expo.Paris is a living archive of seven Universal Expositions held between 1855 and 1937. These grand events left an indelible mark on the city, creating an urban diary of monumental achievements: the Eiffel Tower, of course, but also the Musée d'Orsay, the Grand Palais, and the Petit Palais.“Nobody Sits Like the French” uncovers these stories and many more. Blending travel guide and history, the book reveals a Paris invisible to most—a city where every glass of Burgundy, every sip from Baccarat crystal, every Monet or Gauguin admired, and even the modern marvel of a working sewer system, can be traced back to the legacy of a World Expo. https://www.charlespappas.world/buy-the-world-expo-bookhttp://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Josh and Melissa are back from the Inside Self-Storage World Expo and sharing their biggest takeaways from one of the industry's largest events. AI was everywhere, with vendors continuing to integrate it into their platforms. At the same time, we are seeing the rise of agentic AI in other industries, which raises interesting questions about where self storage is headed next. But even with all the innovation, one theme stood out clearly. The basics still matter. We reflect on our Management Mastery session and the encouraging number of owners who are focused on truly understanding and improving how they run their businesses. Strong operations, clear processes, and intentional leadership are still the foundation of success. We also talk through the tradeshow floor, where we saw more niche vendors than ever before. The number of options available to help operators improve every part of their business continues to grow. To wrap it up, we share the shows we are looking forward to for the rest of the year and why getting in the room still matters. If you're planning your year, here are a few events we recommend: Register for the NeSSA Expo in Connecticut using code Lighthouse10 - Register Here Register for The Big Ideas in Storage Conference in Texas - Register Here Register for MSM's The Show using code LSS2026 - Register Here Hosts: Josh Huff & Melissa Huff Produced by Lighthouse Storage Solutions

In this episode, host Jason Pritchard sits down with Tomohiro Fukuzawa, Founder and CEO of SkyDrive, to reflect on a landmark year for the Japanese eVTOL OEM and what's next in 2026. Tomohiro shares how 2025 marked a breakthrough year for SkyDrive, with hundreds of successful flight tests, large-scale public demo flights and more than 400 pre-orders for its SD-05 aircraft. A major highlight last year was showcasing the aircraft at the World Expo in Osaka, where more than one million visitors saw the aircraft up close, many for the first time. The conversation dives into the technology behind SkyDrive's compact, 12-rotor multicopter design, purpose-built for rooftop operations and short urban hops, as well as its progress toward simultaneous certification with Japan's JCAB and the Federal Aviation Administration. Tomohiro also discusses strategic partnerships, including manufacturing collaboration with Suzuki and operational partnerships across Japan, Southeast Asia, India, and the U.S. From alleviating traffic congestion in cities like Jakarta to transporting organs for urgent medical procedures, the episode explores compelling real-world use cases that highlight the aircraft's potential impact. Looking ahead, 2026 will focus on certification milestones, global market expansion, and further public demonstration flights to accelerate adoption.

If you've ever ridden an elevator, zipped a jacket, watched IMAX, or tapped a touchscreen, you've experienced the legacy of a World's Fair—whether you knew it or not. In this episode of Matters of Experience, hosts Abby and Brenda Cowan welcome Charles Pappas, one of the world's leading authorities on World Expos, to uncover how these massive, temporary gatherings quietly shaped everyday life.From the Crystal Palace of 1851 London to Dubai, Osaka, and beyond, Charles traces the evolution of World's Fairs through what he calls three eras: products, progress, and panic. Along the way, he reveals how expos introduced groundbreaking technologies, redefined optimism during global crises, and now confront urgent environmental challenges. The conversation explores why these events function as powerful engines of cultural exchange, national identity, and human connection—something no digital platform can fully replace.With vivid stories about iconic monuments like the Eiffel Tower, immersive pavilion design, and moments of pure serendipity, this episode is a love letter to shared, in-person experience—and a compelling argument for why the World Expo still matters today.

From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.
