## Resource

A proposal for The World's Fair Experience: a modern World's Fair for African producers, where the podcast is the front door, the marketplace is the back end, and the story is the bridge. Recorded in Limbe, Cameroon. The World's Fair Experience is a proposal: a modern World's Fair for African products, producers, communities, cultures, innovations, farms, food, fashion, music, tourism, and trade. In this episode, recorded in Limbe, Cameroon, Joshua T. Berglan lays it out for the first time — not as a finished project, but as a seed, and an open invitation to build it together. …then the chocolate/farmer setup, an eleven-point "In this episode" list, your key line on extraction vs. sovereignty, the explicit "this does not exist yet" paragraph, and who it's for.
