StanLand

StanLand is a five-part satirical audio comedy series from Mike Sacks and S.G. Wilson, featuring Rhea Seehorn, Bobby Moynihan, Steve Little, Jon Hamm, John Waters, and more.When podcaster Melanie Hughes (Rhea Seehorn) disappears, her abandoned recorder is discovered on the side of the road in Poolesville, Maryland. What it contains is the story of a magical portal, a once-noble fantasy realm called Zyngia, and one deeply mediocre man named Stan (Bobby Moynihan).Zyngia was once ruled by a talking lion king. Now it’s being slowly destroyed by corporate capitalism—and it might be up to Melanie and Stan to save it... or just get the hell out.Think: Narnia meets Eastbound & Down.Visit www.stanlandseries.com for more info.
