About this listen

 Disneyland didn't just change American entertainment. It invented the model that every theme park, cinematic universe, and streaming franchise still runs on today. Black Sunday is a documentary podcast about how it got built — the obsession behind it, the money that almost wasn't there, the construction crew that had thirteen months and no blueprint, and the opening day disaster that ninety million Americans watched live on television. The story Disney doesn't tell about itself. Hosted by Teo Hernandez. New episodes every week.2026 World

    Walt Disney spent thirty years building Disneyland before anyone would lend him the money to do it. Every bank said no. His own brother said no. He mortgaged his life insurance, sold his vacation home, and made a deal with a television network the rest of Hollywood considered an embarrassment. Black Sunday is a documentary podcast about the making of Disneyland — the vision, the financing, the construction chaos, and the catastrophic opening day that somehow launched the most visited tourist destination on earth.
