b'Disney has been presenting a fairytale reality within a reality since the 1920s, a far cuter reality that mimics our reality until reality is no longer reality at all. Make sense? For this episode, we will look at the possible underlying biological reasons for the success of the Disney corporation and the history of this ever-softening societal construction we call childhood. We\\u2019ll explore both the finished and unrealized projects of the company, and how they have long presented us with a much sweeter version of our past, present, and future. So join us as we trace the American dream that started with a mythic man named Walt Disney and see if you can tell what\\u2019s real.\\n\\nNext week: Animatronic America with Sarah Marshall of \\u2018You\\u2019re Wrong About\\u2019 and \\u2018Why Are Dads?\\u2019\\n\\nThis episode was sponsored by Anchor, head to Anchor.fm to make your own podcast!\\nSubscribe to the One Strange Thing podcast today!\\xa0\\n\\nBecome a Patron for extra episodes, interviews, and videos monthly, including our brand new podcast Walk with Me\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\nAmerican Hysteria is written, produced, and hosted by Chelsey Weber-Smith\\nSound design by Clear Commo Studios\\n Research and co-writing by Riley Smith\\nVoice acting by Will Rogers\\nCo-produced and edited by Miranda Zickler\\n \\n Please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen, it really helps us out!\\n\\nFollow American Hysteria on social media:\\nTwitter: @AmerHysteria\\n Instagram: @AmericanHysteriaPodcast\\n Find our merch at americanhysteria.com\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
