A Day in the Life of an Expo 2025 Youth Ambassador ft. Lea Disimone & Bridget McCarthy

About this episode

Lea Disimone and Bridget McCarthy share their experiences as Youth Ambassadors at the US Pavilion during Expo 2025 Osaka.

Almost exactly one year after Season 6's Expo 2025 deep dive with Sachiko Yoshimura, the Krewe closes the loop with two people who were actually there. Lea Disimone & Bridget McCarthy served as Youth Ambassadors at the US Pavilion during Expo 2025 Osaka, and they share what the program was really like from the inside, from a day in the life to the lasting impact it left on them. Two New Orleans connections, one world's fair, and a conversation worth the wait.
