This week, we’re featuring StanLand — a new five-part audio fiction series that blends fantasy with just the right amount of chaos.
Created by Mike Sacks and written with S.G. Wilson, the show drops us into Zyngia: a once-magical kingdom now drowning in vape shops, gated communities, dollar stores, and other signs of late-stage capitalism.
At the centre of it all are two unlikely protagonists: a burnt-out podcast host and a painfully average guy from Maryland, who somehow become the land’s last hope. The show features a ridiculously stacked cast including Jon Hamm, Rhea Seehorn, Bobby Moynihan, and more.
StanLand is a Sonar Network production — a network we love here at Lead. This one’s got top-tier sound design, sharp writing, and a clear love for all things weird and well-crafted.
If you’re into smart satire and fictional worlds that feel just a little too familiar, StanLand should definitely be on your playlist.
