It all comes down to this. But what is this, exactly? Where has any of this led, and how could it possibly wrap up in a way that makes the remotest sense?

In this concluding episode of Zyngia NOW!, long-suffering host Periwinkle Fishmongerson Rimplepoor welcomes Hegone Husk, the wealthiest lich alive (or undead), for a tense and deeply unproductive interview.

| Teaser | The Lost Podcasts of Zyngia: Dumpsters & Deadbeats | 11 Sep 2025 | 00:01:50 | |
Welcome back to Zyngia. Episode 1 of Dumpsters & Deadbeats is available now for early access on the Enter StanLand feed on Apple Podcasts. THE LOST PODCASTS OF ZYNGIA: Our new series releasing newly-discovered mini-podcasts made by Zyngians themselves. An ancient children’s toy from the 1990's was found by the side of the road in the same area where Melanie Hughes’s recorder was first discovered containing the StanLand tapes. The toy recorder was sent to us at WSUS Raleigh by a mysterious man calling himself "Randy". It contains strange new audio files that appear to be recorded by Zyngians. We've decided to make those files available to the public. DUMPSTERS & DEADBEATS: In the debut episode of The Lost Podcasts of Zyngia, intern Casey Bingham introduces us to Dumpsters and Deadbeats: a simple role-playing game hosted by Chip McSparklebottom: half-leprechaun, reluctant heir to Stan Little, and self-proclaimed “dumpster master.” Along with orc couple Ookla and Ghashara Bloodspear, Chip beta-tests his thesis project at the Wizened Wand School of Magical Enchantment. It's a rollercoaster. Coming soon to the StanLand feed, but if you can't wait, you can subscribe to Enter StanLand on Apple Podcasts to hear Episode 1 today! Credits: Written by S.G.

Another lost recording from Zyngia is here! Spoiler Alert: If you haven't finished StanLand, we recommend you do that first.

From the producers of StanLand comes another installment of The Lost Podcasts of Zyngia: a newly unearthed audio archive that’s reshaping everything we thought we knew about the residents of Zyngia... and perhaps podcasting itself. This time, you may recognize a familiar con man’s voice: Professor Rimplepoor, Stan’s former instructor at the Wizened Wand School of Magical Enchantment and the wise old elf who once tried to rope Stan and Melanie into several multi-level marketing schemes. Now he's trying his hand at podcasting and he's joined by some very intriguing guests. This audio is sourced from the Leapfrog children's digital recorder belonging to Stan Little, which was found in Poolesville, Maryland, and sent to the WSUS offices by a man named Randy. We're releasing them on this feed in hopes that they might help us to win even more awards. And for your entertainment, of course.

| The StanLand team recommends: Sorry About the Murder | 28 Oct 2025 | 00:11:05 | |
The next StanLand spin-off mini-series is on the way! Episode 1 is coming November 11. And RANDY, an old Mike Sacks series, is coming out of the vault in the new year. In the meantime, here's a fun show we think you'll love! Sorry About The Murder takes place in the nice-little town of Beavermount, Ontario, where every day someone ends up dead, and it’s up to a Zamboni driver-turned-detective, Gaétan “Frenchie” Arsenault, to solve the case and clear his Québecois name… all before he has to clear the ice for tonight’s hockey game. Equal parts “cozy small town” and “absurd murder mystery”. Find more at sorryaboutthemurder.ca or follow @sorryaboutthemurder on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

The conclusion of Dumpsters and Deadbeats is here. Chip McSparklebottom’s chaotic role-playing game finally reaches its endgame as orc couple Ookla and Ghashara stumble from knife fights and angry mobs straight into a fried chicken restaurant that may promise salvation ... or salmonella. Along the way, old wounds resurface as Chip finally reveals his feelings about his father, Stan. Credits: Written by S.G.

The mysterious toy recorder delivered to WSUS Raleigh continues to reveal strange new audio files. Once again, intern Casey Bingham brings us Dumpsters and Deadbeats, a role-playing game dreamt up by Chip McSparklebottom, half-leprechaun, reluctant heir to Stan Little, and self-proclaimed “dumpster master.” In this second installment, Chip’s orc players, Ookla and Ghashara Bloodspear, claw their way out of a burning apartment only to face new horrors of modern Earth: dead phones, protestors at the library, complicated exes, and the eternal struggle of acquiring dinner. As their misadventures deepen, the orc couple discovers their own clothes have been stolen by teenage toughs. Will rolling twenties be enough to save them this time? Credits: Written by S.G.
