Before StanLand, there was a story about Randy S, a 30-something from Poolesville, Maryland with too many ideas, too much confidence, and pretty much zero self-awareness. Randy hired a creative writing grad to follow him around and document his life. Those recordings ended up on 11 CDs at a garage sale, which were later picked up by Mike Sacks and released as an audio series. In this special interview, StanLand Producer Marianna talks with author Mike Sacks about where Randy came from, why Dave Willis (co-creator of Aqua Teen Hunger Force) is the only person who could play him, and why you kind of feel sorry for Randy, even when he's saying the most heinous things. Randy was originally released in 2018 but is now starting a new life as part of The Poolesville Chronicles, alongside StanLand and a brand new upcoming series currently under production!<hr> Hosted on Acast.

Before Stan Little, There Was Randy - Coming This April!

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.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
