Stan's doing his own little AMA on this week's podcast, so in the words of WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes, what do you wanna talk about? He gets into some behind-the-scenes stories about how a radio's programming is put together, and recounts one of his most traumatic on-air experiences, the latter of which, he swears isn't his fault. Strap in because Stan's opening the mailbag and his stories are all on deck!
