Making the Stan

by Ryan Sugden

Making the Stan is a celebration of 20 years of Danity Kane—the music, the memories, the drama and the impact of one of the most iconic girl groups of the 2000s. Hosted by Ryan, a devoted Stan, and his friend Steve, a self-proclaimed newbie when it comes to the world of DK, this podcast takes a deep dive into the history of Danity Kane, from their formation on Making the Band 3 to their chart-topping success, unforgettable performances, lineup changes, reunions, and lasting influence on pop and R&B culture. Along the way, Ryan will do his best to make Steve a DK Stan. Follow along.
