Expodition
In Canada's centennial year, the city of Montreal played host to the world with Expo 67. "Man and His World" was the theme of the 1967 world's fair, a six-month celebration that drew 50 million visitors to a site on three artificial islands in the St. Lawrence River. Broadcast from Expo's International Broadcasting Centre, Expodition was CBC Radio's daily guide to the pavilions, the people, the pleasures and the problems of Expo 67.

Reporter Martin Bronstein also talks to Paul Desmond, saxophonist with the Dave Brubeck Quartet and author of the group's hit song Take Five.Expodition: Brubeck sax man takes five
• The Dave Brubeck Quartet, which had been a trio until Paul Desmond joined in 1951, disbanded in 1967 just months after this interview.• Desmond went on to perform with other groups, and in 1974-75 played with Canadian jazz guitarist Ed Bickert in Toronto.
• After Desmond's death in 1977, he bequeathed all future royalties from Take Five to the International Red Cross.
