StanLand
StanLand is a five-part satirical audio series featuring Rhea Seehorn, Bobby Moynihan, Steve Little, Timm Sharp, Jon Hamm, John Waters, and more. When cynical podcaster Melanie Hughes (Rhea Seehorn) vanishes without a trace, the only clue is her abandoned recorder, discovered by the side of a road in Poolesville, Maryland. What’s on the tape? A story that begins with a dusty Ikea wardrobe… and ends in a magical realm slowly being swallowed up by fast food chains, retail shopping, and vape stores. Enter Zyngia: once a land of wonder, ruled by a talking lion (Steve Little), now a cautionary tale of what happens when fantasy meets modern consumerism. At the center of it all? Stan Little (Bobby Moynihan). Unemployed. Unremarkable. Possibly the last person you’d want on a magical quest. And yet… here we are. Equal parts epic, absurd, and uncomfortably familiar. Written by Mike Sacks and S.G. Wilson. Brought to you by The Sonar Network and Odenkirk-Provissiero Entertainment. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It all comes down to this. But what is this, exactly? Where has any of this led, and how could it possibly wrap up in a way that makes the remotest sense? The Dark One and his trusty assistant, Winky, have some thoughts on this matter, but first, more thoughts on his penile health.

Welcome back to Zyngia.
An ancient children’s toy from the 1990's was found by the side of the road in the same area where Melanie Hughes’s recorder was first discovered containing the StanLand tapes. The toy recorder was sent to us at WSUS Raleigh by a mysterious man calling himself "Randy". It contains strange new audio files that appear to be recorded by Zyngians.
In this debut episode of The Lost Podcasts of Zyngia,...
The mysterious toy recorder delivered to WSUS Raleigh continues to reveal strange new audio files. Once again, intern Casey Bingham brings us Dumpsters and Deadbeats, a role-playing game dreamt up by Chip McSparklebottom, half-leprechaun, reluctant heir to Stan Little, and self-proclaimed “dumpster master.”
In this second installment, Chip’s orc players, Ookla and Ghashara Bloodspear, claw their way out of a burning apartment on...
The conclusion of Dumpsters and Deadbeats is here.
Chip McSparklebottom’s chaotic role-playing game finally reaches its endgame as orc couple Ookla and Ghashara stumble from knife fights and angry mobs straight into a fried chicken restaurant that may promise salvation ... or salmonella. Along the way, old wounds resurface as Chip finally reveals his feelings about his father, Stan.

From the producers of StanLand comes another installment of The Lost Podcasts of Zyngia: a newly unearthed audio archive that’s reshaping everything we thought we knew about the residents of Zyngia... and perhaps podcasting itself. This time, you may recognize a familiar con man’s voice: Professor Rimplepoor, Stan’s former instructor at the Wizened Wand School of Magical Enchantment and the wise old elf who once tried to rope Stan ...
Another lost recording from Zyngia is here! Spoiler Alert: If you haven't finished StanLand, we recommend you do that first.
Professor Rimplepoor, Stan’s old teacher from the Wizened Wand School of Magical Enchantment, seems to have started his own podcast sometime after the events of StanLand. In this first episode, he talks about the new leadership in Zyngia and interviews a few... questionable guests.
Episode 1 Credits:
In the second unearthed installment of Zyngia NOW!, disgraced magic-school headmaster turned podcaster Periwinkle Fishmongerson Rimplepoor sits down with some very special guests: three of Stan Little’s many half-human, half-everything-else children. As accusations of nepotism swirl across the realm, Rimplepoor attempts to get to the “truth” with the help of his court-ordered companion, LegitiCut, the Sword of Truth.
Episode 2 C...
In this concluding episode of Zyngia NOW!, long-suffering host Periwinkle Fishmongerson Rimplepoor welcomes Hegone Husk, the wealthiest lich alive (or undead), for a tense and deeply unproductive interview.
Before long, tempers flare, swords multiply, and the studio’s liability insurance begins to look wildly insufficient.
Will truth prevail in Zyngia?
