Oz 9

episode one hundred & one: "Crap" indeed. Meanwhile... Oct 31, 2024

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Do you have ANY IDEA the literally dozens of hours you've wasted with this bunch of smooth-shelled walnuts? (and yes, that's a reference to their brains, I just couldn't quite make it work the way I wanted). I mean, it's probably not enough time to cure cancer or invent a really good cable organizing system, but you could have latch hooked a really nice rug by now, or made a portrait of Elvis with little rolled up gum wrappers, AT LEAST.

You know what? Forget it. Do want you want. I'm done. Seriously.

Discover Sanctuary Aug 19, 2024

What would you do if you woke up on a newly terraformed planet (besides die of shock if you were on the Oz 9) to discover your husband has taken over Sanctuary city and rules with what can best be described as an iron fist? Did humans escape the frying pan of Earth only to find themselves in Mars' fire?

This sounds amazing, and with Lily Rabe from American Horror Story at the helm, you know it's going to be amazing. Listen now, wherever you get your podcasts! https://www.voyagemedia.fm/show/sanctuary/

Have You Met Madison Yet? Aug 07, 2024

While Oz 9 is on hiatus (or "in hiding for tax purposes"), it's a great time to discover some new podcasts to binge. So if you're looking to adopt your next best friend, we've got you, fam.

Madison On the Air is a "love letter to olde-tyme radio." Madison is a modern-day influencer who gets mysteriously yoiked back in time and shows up in some old time radio episodes. She brings her own modern attitude and utter chaos to the stories, and there's a rich back-catalog of shows you've likely heard of, even if you've never actually heard them.

You may recognize creator, writer, and star Chrisi Talyn Saje — she took over the role of Julie on the Oz 9. But before she was our botanist, she was Madison Standish, cosmetics influencer and time traveler.

Pretty much every episode is stand-alone, so as Chrisi says, if you find a title you like, jump in! The one you'll hear here is Forbidden Planet. Have a listen, then be sure to subscribe!

Meet The Exile! Jul 02, 2024

You're in the Oz 9 void — no new episodes until, what, Halloween or something? It's cruel, we know. We hear your howls of despair.

But wait! We have something for you, to fill those long, lonely hours without Once-Captain Jessie, Colin, Mrs Sheffield, Greg, or Joe (Jesus!). Yes. We got you a hiatus prezzie, and we think you're really going to like it.

If you're not already familiar with Curious Matter Anthology podcast, now is the perfect time to discover this amazing show. This season, Season 3, CMA is spending the entire season on one story: The Exile. I don't want to tell you too much because (a) spoilers, and (b) I've been typing all day and I'm seriously sick of it. And this is, you know, a podcast, so maybe just listen.

It's my discussion with co-producers Jonathan Pezza (writer) and Tiffany Smith (lead) on how they assembled a dazzling cast, how Jonathan does his immersive sound design that's as cinematic as anything you'll see at your local multiplex, how podcasts differ from other media and what that means for actors and directors, and so much more.

Hear the conversation, then continue on for Episode 1 of The Exile.

You're welcome.

episode one hundred: Suitless, helmetless, and utterly baffled Jun 25, 2024

Well, ain't this a kick in the underpants? No one would have believed, on that random Tuesday in 2142, that the Oz 9 would still be kicking (mumble) months later. And yet, as we stare down the barrel of our 100th full episode, well, here we still are, just to the left of Uranus, clueless and shivering in the dark.

But isn't that just the human condition, basically? I mean... if we're going to philosophize....

Oh, let's not. Pour yourself something naughty and well-deserved, prepare tissue for the inevitable nosebleed, and roll the episode. Happy 100, Space Monkeys — so glad to have you still on board. And to have a board for you to be on. You know what I mean.

You've been listening to:

Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna
Shannon Perry as Captain Madeline
Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield

and with our very special guests:

And the fabulous podcast Mission: Rejected lent us John Dowgin, Faith Dowgin, Emmet Dowgin and Caden Dowgin, who played all our ghosts.
Kyle Jones is your Narrator Two,

Desert Skies Jun 16, 2024

Listen up, Space Monkeys! We did the hard work of vetting a very fun new podcast for you, so now all YOU have to do is listen to it. YOU'RE WELCOME.

It's Desert Skies, a quirky, comedic, and heartfelt sci-fi podcast about life between this world and the next. The story takes place along the road of a lonely highway at a gas station in the afterlife called Desert Skies Astral Plane Fuel and Service Station. The staff at the station help new arrivals in the afterlife get ready to embark on their journey through the celestial spheres. You’ll meet Tendy the Attendant, Mac the Mechanic, and C.A.S.H the sentient cash register, and together they’ll make sure you’re prepared for the ride.

We truly enjoyed listening and are sure you will too. Find the show wherever you get your podcasts, or by clicking this link: https://pod.link/1634726836

episode ninety-nine: Put your kidneys on speaker Jun 09, 2024

With the end of Season 5 just .... an indeterminate time but probably about two weeks away, the eternal Tuesday of the spotless (thanks to Joe) 9 is getting darker, scarier, and downright rude.

We hope you'll join us (though in good conscience we can't recommend it) as we spin and flip and spiral out of control toward the last episode of this season. Bring lozenges — there's gonna be a lot of shouting.

episode ninety-eight: Something is coming May 26, 2024

It's time to check under the bed, make sure the closet doors are firmly shut, tuck any clown toys in your siblings' rooms or the freezer, and crank up the nightlight — things are getting spooky on the Oz 9.

"Something is coming," and it's probably not bearing ice cream or prezzies. The crew of the 9 are in trouble, and though this is no big surprise, it is nearly the end of the season, so you never know....

episode ninety-seven: Well, this is unexpected May 11, 2024

So, a few things to discuss here. Basically, don't do ANYTHING you hear in this episode. So, I guess there's really only one thing to discuss. Never mind.

Some warnings: sounds of person drowning. Some painful but non-lethal punching.

There are no credits on this episode, so I'mma do them here.

Oz 9's theme music is composed and performed by John Faley; Lucas Elliott creates our artwork. Sarah Golding is our dialogue editor.

With a massive sigh of gratitude and relief, Shannon is handing over the sound editing to Sound Mixer, Designer, and Wizard, Mark Restuccia. If you haven't heard Best in Galaxy, (bestingalaxy.com) do yourself a favor and get that IN YOUR EARS. Oz 9 is written by Shannon Perry.

The trailer you hear is from World Gone Wrong. I've listened to the first ep, and yeah, this is a good 'un. Get in there early so you can be smug about it later.

Malik: Michael Turrentine
Jamie: Hilary Williams

The trailer was written by Eleanor Hyde, directed and edited by Jeffrey Nils Gardner. The theme song is "Falling in Love at the End of the World" by Olivia and the Lovers. From Audacious Machine Creative. Find out more here: https://www.audaciousmachinecreative.com/world-gone-wrong.

episode ninety-six: Why is there a bar on the bridge? Apr 08, 2024

I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

Have you ever met a Kestochalian? Actually, you might have. They're sort of lovely, except when you want to thump them on the snoot. Which, to be fair, is true of a lot of living things. Also my computer. Which, if it had a snoot, would have been thoroughly thumped on today.

ANYWAY, we made something for you, and if you've ever made a huge Sunday meal, this is kind of like that. We slaved all day, it'll be over in 20 minutes, and then we start over. Do I sound crabby? I feel kind of crabby.

Check out The Sprouting! Mar 25, 2024

Olivia frequently just gets bored watching the crew of the Oz 9 tangle themselves up in disasters of their own making, and lately she's been downloading podcasts to listen to. She recently stumbled across The Sprouting, a show about battling plants (wait for it) .... cleverly. And she liked it. Like ... a lot. She doesn't like ANYTHING, so we're all a bit shocked over here.

Please take a listen to the supercut of The Sprouting, then find the show wherever you listen to podcasts!

Dear listener,

Welcome back to The Cradle. Our protagonists meet at a fuel stop... sorry, Gas Station... and come to the realization that travelling onwards as a group is far safer than travelling alone. As they navigate this eldritch plant strewn world, what horrors might they encounter?

I guess you're about to find out.

BIG thank you to:

episode ninety-five: Spill or be spilled Mar 14, 2024

Well, cue the sultry saxophone and the wire-brushed cymbals, we're back for part II of our "noir" wormhole. We had high hopes for this one (as in, high hopes everyone would get shot and this nightmare would finally be at an end), but we're only down a tour guide, and even he just seems to have wandered off.

Goldipants Detective Agency is hot on the heels of Red (aka Colin Smith aka Horace MacRory), the millionaire gangster whose morals are as slippery as his accent. Will Pluto and Donna track down the bad guy before we lose any more scientists? Will Mrs S and Donna survive their brush with the Big Bad? Also, what the hell's a nereid?

It's a quiet night on the mean streets of ... uhhhhh ... doesn't matter. And it's not that quiet, either. Lemme start this again.

episode ninety-three: A Midsummer Morning After Feb 14, 2024

It's part 2 of this, and then I swear, we're finished and you can go back to just suspecting how pretentious we are rather than having the receipts.

We know Feb 14 can be a bit rough for some, so we wanted to give you the subtle sounds of barfing fairies to help you get through the day. Just know, we love your goofy, kooky self ALL days of the year.

episode ninety-two: A Midsummer Night's ... whatever the hell this is Feb 04, 2024

As Narrator 2 says in this episode, "English majors must perforce English maj," so here's the episode you've all been dreading: the Fakespeare. Come on, stop whining, you knew it was coming.

If you're not familiar with A Midsummer Night's Dream, well, there are lots of really excellent versions out there. We prefer you NOT listen to those, however, as that's going to make this seem even more torturous than being read Vogon poetry before being shot out into space.

That said, it was fun to write and fun to do, so ... get over it. Also, the second half should show up on Feb. 14, a day some folks seem to think is special.

Thou hast been listening to...

Our music was writ by John Faley, and our artwork from the fevered brow of Lucas Elliott. Sarah Golding our dialogue did edit, and Shannon Perry our sound design'ed. Lamentably, our story of Oz 9, much like the alien of old, did explode from the head of Shannon Perry and wreaketh much havoc upon a space ship. Check out more nonsense at https://oz-9.com.

episode ninety-one: Measuring tape awareness day Jan 18, 2024

This episode... it fought back, I tell you what. But we finally wrangled it into some sort of shape. I'mma go with "parallelogram," because it looks like it's about to fall over, but it's a shape, anyway.

We meant to get this out when we were still in the throes of the holiday season, but hey, it's Winnie the Pooh Day, and I reckon that's worth celebrating. It's also National Michigan day, soooooo, go, Michigan, I guess.

It's episode 90! And that's the best thing we can say about it.

There's a lot of sampling of condiments. Word of warning: don't get between (former) Cpt. Jessie and the cheese sauce, or lives may be lost.

Also, we found a crate of "blight piston bottles." Anyone know what those are good for?

episode eighty-nine: Adorable and very merchandisable Dec 17, 2023

It's nearly Christmas as I type this, and I'm bah humbugging like your least favorite neighbor, but throwing out an episode of Oz 9 always makes me happy. I like making the world just a little bit goofier and more confusing.

We have some additions to our ship today, and they are stupid cute in the manner of those "got my kid a puppy" videos that are all over the socials, only these might make you cry for entirely different reasons. But we'll see, I guess; they don't have many teeth yet.

Anything else I should mention? Oh yeah: happy hols, Space Monkeys. You're the biggest bunch of goofballs this galaxy has ever seen (and I'm talking about the galaxy with DNA's Hooloovoos in it, so you know it's seen some things), but we love you.

episode eighty-eight: A hairball in your haggis Nov 19, 2023

We turned five years old yesterday. The podcast, I mean — Oz 9 just turned 5. How we've lasted that long, we have no idea, but we suspect it has something to do with the fact that everyone is slightly fried from the pandemic and not giving real life 100% of their attention just now. And that's cool. Real life can be a bit of a turd on a hot plate now and again, so suspending reality right alongside disbelief seems like a healthy decision.

All of which to say, thanks for hanging out with us. Gravity — both the being-serious kind and the falling-down kind — is not something we handle well. You clearly don't either, and we're happy you chose to unfurl your freak flag across the nose of the 9.

episode eighty-seven: Why does the mustard matter? Nov 05, 2023

Remember those days, hanging out at the mall, thinking Spencer's Gifts was the height of counter-culture because they had festive roach clips? Yeah, me neither. I spent all my time at Waldenbooks.

Anyway, get ready for a trip backwards in time to the mall. I can almost smell the Orange Julius and Cinnabon (which reminded me that I made coffee that was currently cooling in the other room, dammit. I'm back now) and hear the yelps as another pre-teen gets their ears pierced at Claire's.

There's a very confused security guard -slash-sommelier, some moaning, and somebody ends up with an earring in their forehead. (Now taking bets on who THAT turns out to be.)

episode eighty-six: Spike the gargling cow Oct 01, 2023

Continuing in our endeavor to educate the public, much of the cowboy vernacular here is authentic. Well, some of it. "Brown gargle," for example, is totally legit. Should it come up on Jeopardy at some point, we expect compensation.

The crew continue to explore the Oz 9, sometimes voluntarily. We know these stupid sandwich machines are trying to tell us something, but knowing that and actually understanding what that "something" is are two different things, and let's face it, this bunch have only just managed speech.

Bonus: Oz 9 Meet the Characters Sep 17, 2023

Honestly, there's just nothing good to be gained from listening to this. It's a bunch of people old enough to know better being very silly while affecting various accents (with varying degrees of success). Good ahead and listen if you want to, but please wear headphones and do something redemptive with your hands, like making food for unhoused people or picking your nose. We'll all feel better about it.

Much thanks to Sarah Golding, to whom all credit (and frankly, blame) belongs.

Yer ever-lovin',

Crew

Bonus: Meet Jonathan Pezza of Curious Matter Anthology! Sep 10, 2023

I know, I know, I skip a lot of bonus episodes too, but srsly, give this one a listen. Not only is Jonathan smarter than the entire crew of the Oz 9 concurrently and consecutively (yes, low bar, but still), he's also got really fun things to tell us about. Hear the interview, then for goodness' sake, stick around and hear his full-cast, immersive audio adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow."

Thanks as ever to John Faley, for the gorgeous Oz 9 music!

episode eighty-five: Dirty, greasy oligarchs Aug 02, 2023

Exploring the Oz 9 isn't like exploring brave new worlds in the manner of highly questionable colonialists of eras past. Except for the alligators. And the swampy bits. Also not knowing what's safe to eat (hint: not bloody much). And the near-fatal encounters on a daily basis.

OK, so it's actually quite a bit like exploring brave new worlds, except for the bravery.

Just... listen to the episode. Try to stay out of the quagmires, and if you do get quagged, at least wipe your feet before you go wandering around the ship.

episode eighty-four: Would it help if I spoke stupid? Jul 18, 2023

Exploration of the Oz 9 continues, and it's not going well. Though we did find some goldfish. And some bumper cars.

Traveling via vending machine is just unpredictable and not nearly as filling as you might imagine, but the crew are blundering around the ship from room to room and sandwich to sandwich, flirting with cowboys and this sentence is a bit long so I'm stopping now.

episode eighty-three: In short, she is baked Jun 11, 2023

I went back and read the opening paragraph that was here originally, and even I don't understand it, so I must have been really tired or possibly in a hostage situation when I wrote it. Anyway, it's gone, and though this means the subtitle now makes zero sense, it's still an improvement.

In this episode, Olivia's I-drops (iDrops?) have gotten mixed up with some other substances, and, well, if you thought added chaos might cancel out existing chaos....nope. It just piles on.

episode eighty-one: Hangover remedies and really good sunscreen Apr 12, 2023

Yes, I KNOW we said January, but hey, it's January somewhere, right?

The Oz 9 crew are finally (?) done with their plant-based emergency and have broken free of the Milky Way Galaxy. They're currently lurking in a galaxy that (if you're looking at it sideways and are 8 years old) has a vaguely rude shape. That should keep them entertained for a while.

Anyway, they might actually get off the 9 and explore a strange new world here soon, so now's probably a good time to say goodbye. Before they, you know, poke an alien.

Please stay through the end credits to hear a very cool trailer for a very good show.

And we haven't gotten any reviews for, like, AGES, sooooo, if you wanted to, you could, like, leave us one or something. No biggie.

I tell ya, you turn your back for, like, three months, and someone just shoulders their way in there and takes over your ship, your characters... sheeesh.

ANYWAY, if you're familiar with podcasts A Ninth World Journal or Deconstructive Criticism, you've already enjoyed the work of our own Dr. Theo Bromae, better known as David S. Dear.

In this bonus episode, he gives us a glimpse of life behind the curtain. And in front of the toilet door COME ON ALREADY SOME OF US HAD RICE KUDZPIES AT SNACKTIME.

Welcome to the Audiotorium. It's Discussing Oz 9, with Narrator and Narrator 2, Pluto, and other assorted folks.

If you're not familiar with the Discussing Network and their stable of shows, Discussing Who, Discussing Trek, and Discussing Comics, you really could be listening to that instead of this. (http://www.discussingnetwork.com/)

But in the style of Discussing Stuff, it's a review of Oz 9's season 4, so if you haven't listened to all of season 4, well, spoilers, sweetie.

This episode was written by Kyle Jones and features ...

Bonus: Enough with the toad orgy, Two Feb 08, 2023

If you struggled through the classically complex and layered story of the last four seasons, you're not alone. It was, as Mrs Sheffield has it, "more twisty-turny than my graduate teaching assistant's insides after my AP Honours' Intestinal Inversion lecture and practicuum."

So Dr. Charles Tucket, who you may remember from another hiatus episode, The Oz 8000 Biosphere: Portrait of a Refuge, has been unthawed once again to provide some much-needed and hopefully not teeth-grittingly dull exposition and explanation.

Good luck. Take notes.

episode seventy-nine: Sand where no man is making pearls Oct 23, 2022

It's possible someone dies in this episode. I mean, it's possible someone dies in EVERY episode — it's really pretty astonishing when no one does — so you should probably pay attention today so you understand the chatter around the old fishbowl at work tomorrow.

Today's bonus information: a really tightly woven Italian suit can protect against some wimpier weaponry.

Is anyone else hearing a weird ... flapping sound? And feeling a tiny bit of a breeze? But like, a weirdly hostile breeze that's just coiled up and waiting to turn into a tornado, given even a hint of a reason?

Just me? Huh.

Well, it's episode 78, and if you haven't learned your lesson by now, I can't help you.

We're getting closer to the end of Season 4, and ... well, that's it, really. We're getting closer. Break out the confetti because you get a break from us!

Well, probably. We're kind of like barnacles — we have to be scraped off and then we still leave a sticky residue.

Anyway, lots going on in here, so I'll just leave you to it. Pass the sandwiches. And the tissue....

episode seventy-six: Covered in goat dung and yodelers Aug 14, 2022

It's entirely possible this story has spun a wee bit out of control. But then, isn't that a lot like...life?

I mean, take your basic ergonomic keyboard. Don't you want to bash its tiny electronic brains out on a rock, only it was expensive and nominally doing something useful for your hands or wrists or something? While that might be an overreaction, might it also be considered an entirely understandable response to the fact that every time you try to type an exclamation point you get that weird squiggly tilde or whatever that thing is called, and let's face it, for some of us, there's just not that much call for a tilde, as I don't speak a language that requires it, nor do I need to indicate "approximately" that often-

Sorry.

episode seventy-five: Mad stories of trampled relatives Jul 31, 2022

Note: This is the final episode narrated by Richard Nadolny. His fabulous daughter Chris Nadolny Gourley takes over the mic in 76.

Other note: despite what the credits say, this episode was edited by Sarah Golding and sound designed by Oliver Morris. (Both geniuses; give them lots of gigs and money.)

Note 3: The subtitle is just in case he's googling himself. :)

We'd say the pace is picking up, but seriously, when you're just going around in circles because half of your engines are blown out, does pace really matter?

Also, did YOU know National Geographic has a Narrators' Lounge? Who do you suppose hangs out in there? Freeman and Attenborough, obv; surely Ron Howard drops by now and again, Benedict Cumberbatch probably quit coming by after that whole "peng-wing" incident... Oprah has her own wing...

Sorry, got a little distracted there. What were we talking about? Oh hell, I'm sure whatever it was, it wasn't very important.

It's episode 74, and you know what that means.... DO you know what it means? Could you write it on a note and slip it to us during study hall, because we've got nothing.

Things are just Nutty McNutface with this crew, and everyone's in the dark, literally and figuratively. Who can you trust when everyone's skulky and half the crew went to spy school but apparently no one actually read O Captain You're a Captain?

episode seventy-three: Is that a Giant Turnip? Jun 30, 2022

Warning: this is narrated by Richard, so take care of you. He didn't mean to make you sad.

Brugmansia, it turns out, isn't a type of Italian leather shoe. Nor is it the third movement of something by Beethoven. And it is definitely NOT edible.

But it can be stuck in one's mouth and swallowed, so of course, the bumfluff crew of Oz 9 did.

Content warning: Richard narrates this episode, so take care of you. This episode is dedicated in his memory. Please consider contributing to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. https://afsp.org/

Massive cahooty thanks to Oliver Morris of Kane and Feels: Daytrippers without whom this episode might never have gotten edited and out. And do stay tuned for a taste of Kane and Feels at the end of the ep — it's delicious!

It's episode 72, and our squad of scrambled eggs are trying desperately to figure out who they can trust and who they can't, and the Gordion knot of it all will probably never be untangled, not that any of this crew have any notion what a Gordion knot is when it's at home.

Good luck to us all.

Bonus: Oz 9 Past, present, and (dare we say it) future Jun 10, 2022

Content Warning: Big emotions around death and suicide.

Before he left us, Richard recorded several episodes ahead. Hard as it is to hear his voice, it's also a joy to have a little more Narrator to share. He wanted these episodes to go out, and we want to honor that wish.

So you will hear Richard a few more times. If that's too much for you, skip on to 76, read the transcripts instead (you can find all our transcripts with their episodes on https://oz-9.com). Please do whatever it takes for you to care for yourself.

In this episode, you'll hear from many members of the cast, sharing their memories of Richard. You'll also hear a couple of big announcements about Oz 9's future.

Spoiler: starting Saturday, June 11, the adventure continues. See you 'round the bend, Space Monkeys.

episode seventy-one: Rumblings in the astral region Apr 11, 2022

If you've never had chocolate milkweed with rosemallows, you're really missing out.

On stomach upset, whiplash-inducing vomiting, an itchy rash, and unconsciousness, which is really the best part.

Despite the litany of side effects, Leet is dishing up a mug just for you, so please join us aboard the Oz 9, as we head out for another entirely pointless journey.

Be sure to stay till the end to hear a trailer of a much more sensible and quite fabulous science fiction audio drama: Chaika.

episode sixty-eight: Hold our swamp hooch Jan 24, 2022

Leet's been boiling up ... well, we're not sure what those are. He thought they were apples, and he was trying to make apple cider. Or maybe apple sauce, we're not really clear what he was aiming for. In any event, he ended up with something that can only be contained in these special jars the Albatros makes from clay from the bioswamp; it burns right through everything else.

Anyway, if someone invites you to have a swig of swamphooch, we really suggest you run away. Maybe punch them first, because clearly they're trying to kill you, and that'll give you a little more time to escape.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Granny Shelp, who held the codes to Gated Galaxies, and the key to our hearts. Much love to one of our forever space monkeys.

We hope you all had a great holiday season.

We didn't.

Something blew up and it stunk like crazy, but we still have no idea what it was, and Dr. von Haber Zetzer's not talking. We're not sure if that's because he's guilty or in shock, but either way, we're not prying an answer out of him any time soon.

You thought your job was hard, imagine being Narrator (or Narrator 2, really) for this boatload of Twinkies. (Which, incidentally have still not shown any signs of decomposition in 2142, just sayin'.)

If our Narrator makes it through his contract without developing a neurosis (or cirrhosis), well, it's not our fault.

episode sixty-two: I sent him a hippotigrus Oct 04, 2021

NOTE: Listen to the end for awesome trailers!

It's true many people complain that Oz 9 is not only NOT educational, it may in fact "leach information out of your brain as you listen." (thanks, mom — real nice)

We beg to differ. Did you know zebras were once called "hippotigruses" (hippotigri? whatever)? Think of how much you've learned about plants and space and maths and fugu and Sweden!

Anyway, if we're making you dumber, I think you know exactly what Olivia would have to say to that. Because that's ANOTHER THING YOU LEARNED.

episode sixty-one: The "tilslørte bondepiker" maneuver Sep 20, 2021

LOOK. I never said it would be the MORNING of September 19, I just said it would be ON September 19, so I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.

It's episode 61, and incredibly, it seems our crew might have actually lost some brain cells over the hiatus. I swear, if there's a skull and crossbones on it, this crew wants to eat it, marry it, or at least put it in the garage next to something flammable.

Bonus: Oz 9 episode X-1 Sep 12, 2021

Written by Lee Shackleford of the awesome sci-fi audio drama Relativity, this bonus episode exposes you to yet more of Oz 9 that you were hoping to avoid.

Is it possible an advanced alien species is coming aboard the ship? Well, yeah, I mean — they're in space. But, are they friendly? This is the Oz 9. What are the chances?

HUGE thanks to Lee, who wrote AND produced this episode despite all our mostly unintentional efforts to thwart him. BTW, Lee is an amazing voice and stage actor, writer, and human being, so if you want to get in contact, find him at shacklefordfreelance.com.

Bonus: Oz 9 chat, part deux Aug 29, 2021

We'd like to dedicate this second hiatus episode to our one fan in Zambia.

To date, according to our stats, there have been 86 downloads in Zambia. We figure that's one fan who listened to every episode, including all the hiatus and bonus stuff, and to him, her, or them, we say a profound "thank you!"

And the same "thank you" to everyone who listens. We know there's more important stuff you can be doing, like thinning out your spatula collection or arranging your vegetable garden in descending order, but you chose to spend it with us. That means a lot.

All the very best, space monkeys.

"The hiatus ate us!" That line, courtesy of the brilliant Bonnie Brantley, is all too true.

We started our hiatus with great plans to do all kinds of fun Oz 9-y things in all that copious free time, only to have our ideas evaporate in the harsh light of real life.

Sorry. But here's some of us talking about stuff. Does that help?

episode fifty-eight: Spucked into sace May 17, 2021

With just three episodes left in the season, is that a cliff I see ahead? With a small branch protruding from its face, just right for hanging?

Things are moving along at a rapid pace, much like the Oz 9 isn't, and there are surprises, tears, laughter, warming of hearts, girding of loins, rending of garments, and possibly smoochies ahead.

Oh, and you're gonna want to stick through the credits this time. YES, WE DID THAT THING WHERE WE PUT SOMETHING IMPORTANT AFTER THE CREDITS, WOULD IT KILL YOU TO LISTEN TO THEM ONCE IN A WHILE?

episode fifty-seven: But then I also say higgledy piggledy May 03, 2021

This episode begins with a funeral, so you might want to have tissues handy.

The production assistant was supposed to get hypo-allergenic flowers for the ceremony but managed to find hyper-allergenic ones, which not only make you sneeze, they cram themselves up your nose until you beg for mercy.

We did a comic book! You'll hear us talking about the Kickstarter here, which is well and truly over, thanks for asking. Now just buy one and get them out of my garage? (https://oz9podcast.etsy.com)

Here's a surprise: Jessie doesn't like comics. She says they're too colourful and she's never read one. I would have recommended she read them when she's not in a bad mood, but maybe that's what she's already doing?

Anyway, you know the drill. You've been listening to these people. Gourd knows why.

A rift in time and space causes 4 members of the Oz 9 crew to get pulled off the space ship (bringing the median IQ up significantly) and swapped with 4 members of the EMF (aaaaaaaaaaand we're back to where we were, IQ-wise).

This is part two of a special two-part crossover with the hilarious secret agent comedy, Mission: Rejected. If you haven't heard part one yet, stop, put us on pause, go out, listen to part 1 on the Mission: Rejected feed (https://missionrejected.simplecast.com/), come back, take us off pause, because from this moment forward....

I'd say "spoilers," but let's face it... it's mostly nonsense.

episode fifty-five: Monkey Man, gather the sweets Mar 22, 2021

OK, OK, yes, it's late AGAIN. We know. We've been having a really rough time lately, the kids are sick, the roof caved in when we had that thunderstorm last week, and then there was that other thing....

No, you're right. None of that is true. Our alarm is a bored dude just saying "alarm alarm alarm" over and over, so clearly this is not a well-financed, slick-and-professional thing we've got going here.

Throw some money at our Patreon or Kofi (optimistically posting the links below), and maybe we can talk about maintaining a schedule. It won't happen, but we can talk.

episode fifty-four: Remove the bejesus with fear Mar 03, 2021

All the backstory you never wanted and then some. We find out some stuff about Le Bichon Frise, some other stuff about Donna, blah blah blah. Greg falls over at one point, so that's pretty funny.

I'd say "sorry it's so late," but I feel like I ought to be sorry before I say sorry. So.... It's late.

episode fifty-three: Where's Grammar Girl when you need her? Feb 15, 2021

The universe may be crashing around your ears, but as long as you know the difference between who and whom and how to scoop up a dangling participle, you'll be all right. It's kind of like knowing where your towel is.

In this very special episode, a guest pops onto the ship and into Leet's arms, and for a few moments at least, all seems right with the world.

A very few moments. And not really "right" so much as "slightly less wrong."

Many thanks to our very special guest, Mignon Fogarty, educator, author, speaker, and host of the brilliant, award-winning Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips to Better Writing podcast!

episode fifty-two: Everyone knows about böckling Feb 01, 2021

Do you know how to disable an invisible alarm? Yeah, well, listen close; someone on our crew is about to tell you.

Well, maybe... we're not entirely sure it works, so I don't know that I'd test it at the Louvre. Maybe Paddy MacDougal's Museum O'Naughty Limericks and Saucy Sea Shanties first.

Just steer clear of the green milkshakes. Actually, that's a really good lesson for the Oz 9 as well.

Anyway, here's the episode, it's late, and there are probably half a dozen limericks at Paddy's that could push it down and steal its lunch money, but never mind. Someone bring me some wine, and don't spare the chickens.

episode fifty-one: I look damn good in jodhpurs Jan 17, 2021

The crew aboard the Oz 9 are stalactites, holding tight to the ceiling in unexpected zero Gs, and the crew on the ground are stalagmites, who might survive if a crabby, oddly dressed ancient god decides to let them go.

You know, same old same old.

Oz 9 is back from holiday break, though why a crew that typically works a solid seven-minute day needs a break is yet to be determined.

We hope you missed us as much as we very nearly missed that very important satellite. Hey, who needs news in this day and age, amirite?

Bonus: Oz 9 It doesn't get much more trivial than this Jan 04, 2021

To punish Kevin Hall for having the gall to ... something, I can't remember what it was he did, but for sure he did something really bad to merit this kind of response.... Anyway, maybe just to be mean, we made him relisten to Oz 9, write a bunch of trivia questions, then ask them to four people who among them could barely scrape up an answer to the question of what they had for breakfast on that particular day.

It's nearly 90 minutes of "uhhhhhh....." and "hang on, I know I know this one," and "seriously, Kevin, where are you getting these questions?!" and very few answers, but if you like that sort of thing, it's good for an occasional laugh.

Huge thanks to Kevin for enduring, and for Bryan, Corey, and Jess for being amazing, fantastic (if nearly hopeless) sports.

EARLIER SOUND ISSUES HAVE BEEN CORRECTED, AND OUR PRODUCTION PERSON HAS BEEN FWIIIIIIIIIIII......

What happens when the alien aboard your ship gets hungry?

Usually really gross things involving lots of blood and gore and that, but fortunately for us, the grossest thing in this episode is a small critter popping out of an orifice. Which is actually less gross than it sounds. Wait for it.

The ships of Samantha Lyons and the Oz 9 have stumbled into one another in space, and Leet's had lots of caffeine, and there's some dancing.

This bonus ep includes the writing and acting genius of Beccy Stirrup. Please check out more by this amazing creator: https://www.facebook.com/diaryofaspacearchivist/

episode fifty: M'Lady of Little Chadwick upon Bad Patter Nov 22, 2020

Humans on the receiving end of divine affections don't do so well, mythologically speaking. However, after having seen Donna in action, the smart money is on the homo sapien. Pluto better watch his gold lamé onesie, if he knows what's good for him.

With this episode, we are officially halfway through Season 3 of Oz 9, so let's all take a moment to realize this crew of idiots has managed to survive this long. Well, apart from Matt, that guard in the tunnel, Lady Nibble-Biscuit, the mime, several thousand pod-occupants, 1/3 of Sweden.... never mind.

As this gaggle of ninnies is still out there, do please be careful. Wear your mask, wash your hands, and be sure to carry Idiot Repellant.

episode forty-nine: I'm soft, squishy, and covered in Hollandaise sauce Nov 09, 2020

I'd apologize for this being so late, but if you think about it, I gave you an extra 16-and-a-half Oz-free hours, which is, like, a decade in idiot years.

It's been a long day aboard the Oz 9. You think bad decision making is easy — Doritos for dinner? Yes, please. Easy! Go for a run or drink chocolate milk with vodka? Vodka. Definitely. Easy! —and yet, it's exhausting.

So, you'll get no apology from me, unless I come across one on my way to the couch.

episode forty-eight: We only have three minutes Oct 25, 2020

Remember how there was that one week you were sick or maybe just on vacation but too poor to go anywhere? And you watched daytime TV, and even though you knew it was ridiculous and cheesy, by Friday you were desperate to know if little Suzy really was Armoire's daughter and if Aristato would find Nectarina in time to stop her from marrying ... I don't know, Ponderosa Jutjaw or whatever?

Just stay with me, this is relevant.

What I'm saying is, it's totally possible to get swept up in a story, even if the story is kind of nonsense and the characters are slightly less intelligent than waffles.

episode forty-seven: Chasing Lord Lunchable Oct 11, 2020

What would you do if everything in your garden suddenly attacked you? Carrots shooting themselves at your eyes, radishes nibbling tiny, spicy holes in your ankles, kohlrabi shouting at you, probably in German, given how "kohlrabi" is spelled — does it seem German to you? just me? — and let's not even talk about what the watermelon is trying to do.

Would you ever be able to eat a salad again?

This is vaguely relevant to episode 47, but only sort of. Meanwhile, I'm going to have nightmares about cauliflower.

episode forty-six: It's invasion of the body snackers Sep 27, 2020

Probably the most remarkable thing that happens in this entire episode is that Le Bichon Frise pronounces "assassinate" correctly. I know. We were pretty shocked too.

It happens at the bottom of page 3, so if you just want to hear that and skip the rest, I don't suppose anyone would blame you.

Oh, and there's a bit about a butterfly that's funny. You might want to stick around for that. Up to you.

It's really late. The kind of late that keeps on getting later until it circles back round to early. When I'm this blurry and tired, I'm likely to say anything. Like how much more bearable life became on this ship with we busted Dr. Theo out of his pod. Geeky never looked so good....

See, now what did I say? Stop with the questions and the "oooo tell me everything" eyes. Dr. Theo is extremely fond of his personal space, and that's all there is to it. So shut up. I'm going to bed.

If you've been keeping up with the antics of that zany crew aboard the Oz 9-

Have you ever considered taking up a REAL hobby? Like stamps or shuffleboard or knitting quilts or something? Or listening to Top of the Round, which is a much more sensible pastime?

It's episode 44, and no one is any smarter than they were 43 episodes ago, and that includes you, since your brain is no doubt deteriorating at a much faster clip than it would have if you'd done Sudoku or whatever it is instead.

Bonus: Oz 9 hiatus episode: We'll always have ... Jul 12, 2020

If you've ever wondered about our crew's lives before they got wrapped up in the drama of the Oz 9, well, keep wondering, because you're not going to learn a damn thing from this disaster of an episode.

Sarah Golding as pretty much everybody else. Except
Richard Nadolny as the Narrator.

Bonus Oz 9: The Season Two Crew Jul 05, 2020

If you think Oz 9 looks like chaos from the front, well, it's just as raggedy and unkempt 'round the back (if slightly less dangerous). In this bonus episode for our hiatus, our 4 newest cast members gathered to talk about life as a voice actor and the swirling tornado of imminent doom that is existence aboard the Oz 9.

You're listening to:

David S. Dear (Dr Theo Bromae)
Sarah Golding (Mrs Sheffield)
Kevin Hall (Cal/Greg) and
Iri Alexander (Julie)

We'll be back with our first episode of Season Three on July 19, 2020, so until then, Space Monkeys, stay silly.

Bonus: The Oz 8000 Biosphere: Portrait of a Refuge Jun 09, 2020

The Oz ships failed under mysterious circumstances entirely caused by their on-board crews or natural disaster wholly unrelated to Gated Galaxies or its subsidiaries, officers, or agents. G2 accepts no responsibility or liability for loss of liberty, limb, or life due to incorrect use of machinery, gross negligence, intentional or reckless misconduct. By simply existing, you acknowledge that life is inherently dangerous and often fatal and absolve Gated Galaxies of any and all injury you may incur whilst voluntarily engaging in the hazardous activity known as living.

episode forty: Be prepared to lose body hair May 24, 2020

It's the end of Season 2, and our crew are still dumb, still in space, and still hovering at the edge of death. Thanks to all the zig zagging around the galaxy, they're nearly back where they started, and the forniculator still hasn't been fixed.

Look, I've been up all night, and seriously the first person to speak to me may find themselves trying to pour coffee into a stump. Like, where their head used to be, not a tree, that was supposed to be sort of threatening and scary. Never mind.

episode thirty-five: Rabid egret eggs and something vaguely chivelike Mar 15, 2020

Beans — BIG beans — are about to be spilled aboard the Oz 9, and that could spell trouble for the crew. Especially if the beans land in a very particular way that happens to spell "trouble."

And someone aboard the Oz 9 is not doing their job. I realize I should probably narrow that down for you, as it's a hefty list, but just listen up and you'll figure it out.

What do you do when your Otologostealth X13 runs out of charge?

That wasn't actually a rhetorical question — the manual is in Ancient Mesopotamian (we think) and none of the charging cables we have fits. Anyone?

Anyway, we say goodbye to a crewmate this episode, so get your hanky ready or use your sleeve or whatever, just prepare to have your innards stepped on in the name of emotional manipulation.

episode thirty-three: If you say so, Frog Butt Feb 16, 2020

No one said life in space would be easy. Though if they'd listened closely, the people buying seats on the Oz ships might have heard G2 officials mutter under their breath about how easy death in space was going to be ...

Anyway, it's a Thursday aboard the Oz 9, which means Leet is optimistic about their chances of survival. He's alone in that, but hey, he's a rebel.

It's the holiday season aboard the Oz 9, though how that happened when they launched in spring, like, a month ago, is anyone's guess.

Bonus: The Annual Assassins Holiday Dinner Dec 25, 2019

On December 4, 2019, Oz 9 did a live show at the South Side Podfest at Bar 171 in Chicago, Illinois.

It was the evening of the Annual Assassins Holiday Dinner. Of course, the Albatros and le Bichon Frise attended, with chaperone Cpt. Madeline, who was very upset to learn that no one with any sense at all ate the delicious-smelling food.

Thank you to Nick Mataragas and Memoriam Development for creating this fun event and putting us on the list, thank you to Bar 171 for hosting us, and thank you to those who attended. Lady Trout’s henchmen will be visiting those who didn’t laugh enough, don’t think we didn’t see you.

Special thanks to Susan Franzen and Eric Davis for traveling vast distances – though not as far as us, we’re from outer space, for crying out loud – to take on special assassin duties.

episode twenty-nine: A rather amorous gecko Dec 15, 2019

Episode 29, in which we learn the meaning of the Scottish slang word "boaking." Repeatedly. In vivid color.

In this episode, the world has gone topsy turvy — up is down, left is right, enemies are friends...

But the fugu is still poisonous, and our crew are still idiotic and imperiled.

And there's a gecko. An amorous one.

episode twenty-eight: Not a sane pair of lederhosen on this ship Dec 01, 2019

An episode so full of unexpected twist and turns, you should probably schedule an appointment with your chiropractor now.

episode twenty-seven: Too chiseled to burn Nov 17, 2019

Does it sometimes seem like everything that is trying to kill you wants to talk to you about it first? I mean, I don't really feel like I need to connect with you on an emotional level when I'm just trying to keep breathing.

In episode 27, a very unexpected truth is revealed — but is it good news? Or very very bad indeed?

Leet's in Dr. von Haber Zetzer's lab, and you know no good can come of that. Colin is lethally in need of a nap, and the Albatros is on the hunt for a husband.

There's an assassin in memory storage ... that's just not something you hear every day, is it?

Colin's eaten a highly questionable olive, Dr. von Haber Zetzer is learning about strange cultural phenomena, and something about different kinds of peas.

episode twenty-two: It wasn't an olive Sep 01, 2019

Name three animals that can see in the dark.

What happens when an animal that couldn't... suddenly can? Given that it's happening aboard the Oz 9, my guess is that it isn't good.

Strange things are afoot aboard our ship, and most of them are the crew.

It's the much-awaited (or not really), highly anticipated (or sort of mediumly anticipated) Full Cast Q & A, including the guy who does our music!

We had a rare opportunity to gather the entire cast of Oz 9 together in one room, so we quickly made a plan to cast even more doubts on our status as functioning adults by making everyone answer questions.

Thanks to some awesome patrons and Podcast Junkie discord server family, we had fun questions to ask, answer, and not have a clue about.

episode twenty: In space, no one can hear you stupid Jul 14, 2019

Somewhere aboard the Oz 9, a bomb is ticking. Actually, a crap-ton of things are going wrong aboard the Oz 9; this is just the biggest and most likely to kill our crew the soonest.

It's the final episode of Season 1, and our crew is, yes, yes, let's say it all together shall we? in mortal peril.

episode nineteen: Peeing in a bucket and eating pocket lint Jun 30, 2019

If you've ever been in mortal peril, you know the most crucial decision you'll make in that situation is your choice of writing implement.

No? Well, that makes you smarter than this crowd, but before your head swells up just in time for bikini season, remember, we are talking about the dumbest bunch of sofa cushions ever to have their own theme song.

Things have never been good aboard the failing, flailing Oz 9, but they've recently taken a turn for the worse. And, given that all the left-side engines are out, they just keep turning.

It's that kind of day, innit? One minute, you're out having a quick ciggie next to the tip, and then the world goes all wobbly, and suddenly you're aboard someone else's spaceship, only it's held together with duct tape and optimism and crewed by the biggest bunch of idiots who ever graced the skies, and there's something ... or possibly someone ... all over your boots.

The episode that finally answers the critical question: why do robots climb like cows?

There's an arm under the sofa, Jessie's dangling from a shelf in Maintenance Bay 15, and we learn what ligatures are for.

episode sixteen: We are not breathing the passengers May 19, 2019

'Allo, little piggies!

The notorious assassin le Bichon Frise is circling our crew like a vulture who hopes his prey drops soon because he's tired and hungry and a little cranky and frankly probably a little dehydrated and his blood sugar's low, he just knows it, and this dry desert air is doing NOTHING for his skin.

He's ready to do some assassaning, but this bloody crew just will not cooperate.

Oh, and pod 666 just popped open, so it's anyone's guess what happens next.

episode fifteen: Heroic Running! May 05, 2019

Here's a shocker: the Oz 9 crew's lives are in danger. Suffocation, toxic gas, a loose assassin, the risk of being crushed under their own denseness – perils lurk around every corner and certainly between slices of bread.

Still, they've managed to make it through 14 episodes, so there may be hope for them yet.

episode fourteen: Of baguettes and bastards Apr 21, 2019

Captain Jessie is now aboard the Oz 9, which is great, except she brought her assassin with her, and he's managed to get a hold of some fairly crucial information about the Oz 9. But he's kind of an idiot, so ... there's that.

Jessie, Captain of the neighboring Oz 6748, may have good reason to fear for her life,

AND

Olivia explains the MRDR protocol, which is just as bad as it sounds. Not sure if you knew this yet, but Gated Galaxies is kind of crap.

episode eleven: She might do some lasting pickles Mar 10, 2019

It's Day Two

And we're as startled as you are that anyone's still alive.

Day two on the Oz 9 sees the crew celebrating fewer fatalities (sorry, Matt) at least on board (sorry, Sweden) and making a critical discovery about cheese.

But the two-headed repairbot is awake again and wreaking some havoc, Madeline needs to warn Jessie about her crew, and apparently, if someone invites you to go on an adventure in space, don't go back for your purse or to the porta-loo.

episode ten: Fixing the ejaculax Feb 24, 2019

Will Madeline and Joe be able to fix the copulatron and attach it to the forniculator before they realize neither of these things actually exists?

Is Leet doomed to spend most of his journey inside a healer pod?

episode five: There's a zombie in the corridor Dec 23, 2018

Heave a sigh of relief: Leet’s symmetry has been restored. Might suggest you breathe through your mouth, though, as there’s a rapidly decomposing dead person in the corridor. Messing up Joe’s clean floors. Seriously, zombies are why we can’t have nice things.

episode three: Great heaving chesticles Dec 04, 2018

Have you ever thrown the last of your milkshake out the car window, only to have it splat on the windshield of the car behind you? OK, imagine doing that with liquified human remains, in space, where there are no windshield wipers. Or gas stations with handy squeegee things. What happens next? You might get a really irritated comms call from the next ship in line, who are, incidentally, also about to hit you.

episode one: What the f&#* is that smell?? Nov 18, 2018

HEY! HI! If you enjoyed this episode (and yes, I know, you probably haven't heard it yet, hush), you'll be thrilled to know it's also a COMIC BOOK. Which you can BUY! https://oz9podcast.etsy.com

On an otherwise unexceptional Tuesday in 2142*, Gated Galaxies fired off 400 of its Oz 8000™ ships, each with 50,000 “resting guests” tucked into stasis pods, plus a skeleton crew of up to half-a-dozen total no-hopers.

It was a win-win for G2, as they’re known, as the Oz 8000 model was about to be declared “unfit for journeying to the nearest 7-Eleven, much less interstellar space” and recalled. G2 had a very large fleet of the 8000s, and a slight head start on the recall, as they’d paid off the head inspector to delay her report by promising the ships would be stripped and sold for parts. Instead, the ships were spit-shined, outfitted with some black market YugoPods™, and space aboard quietly sold to very very rich people on the promise that somewhere up there, screamingly wealthy and privileged lives away from the riff raff of Earth were to be had.

To their credit, there was a lot of screaming, so they had that right.

This is the story of one of those ships, the Oz 9, and the utterly futile attempts of its crew to fulfill its stated mission: to deliver the passengers safely to their new, terraformed planet. At its unstated (and unknown) mission – to make Gated Galaxies even richer by doing some sneaky, underhanded and occasionally homicidal things – it was a massive success.
