The misadventure of Disney's America

My guest appearance on Vox's "Today, Explained"

Last week I got an email from a producer at Vox’s daily podcast “Today, Explained.” He’d read an article I wrote nine years ago (!) about Disney’s failed effort to build an American history theme park in Virginia in the early 1990s. Was I interested in talking about it on the show’s Fourth of July episode?

Uh, sure???

So I recorded an interview with host Sean Rameswaram, who you may have heard on Radiolab’s More Perfect or on WNYC! The episode dropped today and you can find it here or … wherever you get your podcasts! ORRRR maybe on your local NPR station!!!!!

“Happy” “Fourth” of “July”!¹

1. Never not a good time to reread Frederick Douglass’s “What To the Slave Is the Fourth of July?”
