Please enjoy episode 1 of StanLand, a hilarious new comedy fantasy story featuring Rhea Seehorn, Bobby Moynihan, Jon Hamm, John Waters, Steve Little, Timm Sharp, and more! Written by Mike Sacks with S.G. Wilson.

A cynical podcaster, Melanie Hughes (Rhea Seehorn), who investigates tales of “mysterious phenomena,” stumbles upon the most outrageous story of her career. An unemployed mediocrity from Maryland, Stan Little (Bobby Moynihan), has discovered a once-pristine, Narnia-like fantasy world and is accidentally ruining it by introducing commercial capitalism run amok. Will Melanie be able to escape this magical land overrun by fast-food chain restaurants, waterparks and vape stores?
