Spanish Sundown

About Spanish Sundown

Can you hear the voices? They are trapped in objects from Spain’s past. An antique door knocker that witnessed a beheading. A murderous revolver hidden under the floor tile of a theater. A centuries-old castle stone pissed on by a madman. The sun goes down and everyday people stumble across these objects. When they touch them, the voices tell their story. Stories of Celtic warriors high on shrooms, mad bulls, gold-toothed bandoleers in hidden caves, Nazi collaborators, penis-shrinking witches, adulterous kings… Discover the horrific blood stories of Spain’s past. Discover the horror…that lies inside your own mind. Spanish Sundown is the result of years of ongoing historical research. An original audio drama production, it features the authentic sounds of Spain recorded on-site. Close your eyes and travel here with your mind. Listen to the voices. Episodes drop every other Tuesday. Subscribe now. WARNING: Be advised that Spanish Sundown is a horror podcast that rips the cover off the darkest sides of the human condition.

   Apollo 11: Ego and Espionage

   We’ve all heard about people who join cults because it gives them a sense of belonging. But that’s not the only reason. Leandro is an amazing guitarist who has never made it big. Ever since stumbling across a golden antenna in the woods as a young boy, he has heard debilitating static inside his brain. This noise is so intense that it keeps him from developing his talents. The voices trapped inside the golden antenna take Leandro back to 1969, when NASA built a space station in the mountains outside Madrid. He learns how vitally important this station was for putting Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon in a tale of Cold War espionage, secret tape recordings and alien tones. No one understands how hard it is to be Leandro. That is, until he meets Aurora. She knows just what to say. Because Aurora knows the other reason why people join cults. Poor Leandro doesn’t stand a chance. --- 1-The NASA communications station website. 2-The Smithsonian’s explanation of the mysterious Apollo 10 music recording. 3-A digital copy of the recording. r-Read through the crazy conspiracy theories on Reddit. 5-Fresnedillas de la Oliva lunar museum’s website where you can see how a medieval Spanish village made space travel history. 6-Documentary feature Fresnedillas, una historia alunizante on Spain’s role in the moon landing. 7-De Madrid a la Luna: Espacio Fundación Telefónica’s extended documentary on the locals who worked for NASA and helped put man on the moon. 8- Check out our website or follow Spanish Sundown on Facebook and Instagram to see original footage taken while researching and recording on-site outside the NASA station in the Madrid mountains. --- © 2025 Samuel Mattern.
