StanLand

2 episodes   Last Updated: Apr 17, 25

When cynical podcaster Melanie Hughes 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 wardrobe… and ends in a magical realm slowly being destroyed by fast food chains, influencer culture, and retail-obsessed elves.

Enter Zyngia: once a land of wonder, now a cautionary tale of what happens when fantasy meets modern consumerism.

At the center of it all? Stan Little. 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.
