Oz 9

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, David S. Dear, Sarah Golding, Kevin Hall, and Iri Alexander, gathered to talk about life as a voice actor and the swirling tornado of imminent doom that is existence aboard the Oz 9. We'll be back with our first episode of Season Three on July 19, 2020, so until then, Space Monkeys, stay silly.  

Welcome back, space monkeys! We hope you enjoyed your six-week excursion ashore. Watch your step, the gangplank is slippery and also there's no oxygen out here, so look lively.

Something nefarious is happening on a golf course in French Lick, Indiana. Actually, several nefarious things. Well, OK, like, three... maybe four nefarious things, and then a whole bunch of naughty things. Look, we're losing the point here.  Look, just listen to the episode. It'll be easier than me trying to explain it to you.

Perhaps you've heard about the mold that's eating radioactive materials around Chernobyl? And that scientists are considering insulating spacecraft and astronauts suits with the stuff to protect them from solar radiation? We're not imagining things up here. We're just ahead of our time. You've been listening to: Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia David S. Dear as Dr. Theo Bromae Tim Sherburn as Colin Eric Perry as Joe, Mr. Southers, and Dr. von Haber Zetzer Richard Cowen as Leet and Tiberius June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Kevin Hall as Greg and Felonius Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Iri Alexander as Julie, and Richard Nadolny as the Narrator.

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? 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. Fine, go ahead and listen, ruin your life, see if I care! I tell you, I bust my butt for you kids, cooking, cleaning, writing show notes, you think this is easy?

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. You're listening to: David S Dear as Dr. Theo Bromae Tim Sherburn as Colin and Emily Eric Perry as Dr. von Haber Zetzer, Joe, and Howard Aaron Clark as le Bichon Frise and Ben Kevin Hall as Greg Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Richard Cowen as Leet June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Iri Alexander as Julie Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Richard Nadolny as your Narrator, and Kyle Jones, as Narrator 2.

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. And the discount code for the chocolate. That's never a bad thing. Up to you. You've been listening to: Iri Alexander as Julie Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield David S Dear as Dr. Theo Bromae Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Richard Cowen as Leet June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros and Glenda Tim Sherburn as Colin and Buck Eric Perry as Dr. von Haber Zetzer, Joe, and Mr. Southers Aaron Clark as le Bichon Frise and Ben Kevin Hall as Greg Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia and Richard Nadolny as your Narrator Our music is composed and performed by John Faley.

Until next time, space monkeys!

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. I just caught a mosquito with my ... nope, there it is again.  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. You've been listening to: June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros and Glenda Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield David S Dear as Dr Theo Bromae Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Eric Perry as Joe and Dr. von Haber Zetzer Richard Cowen as Leet Kevin Hall as Greg and Felonius Tim Sherburn as Colin and Buck Aaron Clark as Ben Iri Alexander as Julie Shannon Perry as Olivia and Madeline introducing Lee Shackleford as Pluto, and with Richard Nadolny as your Narrator.

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.  Don't believe me? This is episode 48.  You've been listening to: Kevin Hall as Greg Aaron Clark as le Bichon Frise and Ben Eric Perry as Joe and Mr. Southers Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Iri Alexander as Julie Tim Sherburn as Buck Bonnie Brantley as Donna June Clare Eubanks as Glenda and the Albatros David S Dear as Dr. Theo Bromae Shannon Perry as Olivia and Madeline, and guest starring Nikki Richardson as the Gated Galaxies Switchboard Operator.

We love reviews (glowing ones, preferably), so feel free to leave us one on Podchaser, Apple Podcasts, or the podcatcher of your choice. Until next time, Space Monkeys!  

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.  You've been listening to: Bonnie Brantley as Donna and Jessie Eric Perry as Mr Southers and Dr. Von Haber Zetzer Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Aaron Clark as Ben and le Bichon Frise Iri Alexander as Julie June Clark Eubanks as Glenda and the Albatros David S Dear as Dr Theo and Argus Shannon Perry as Olivia Tim Sherburn as Colin Richard Cowen as Leet Kevin Hall as Greg and Richard Nadolny as your Narrator Our music is composed and performed by John Faley; our artwork is by Lucas Elliott. This episode was directed by June Clark Eubanks. Oz 9 is written and produced by Shannon Perry.  Take care, space monkeys. Until next time!

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, carry Idiot Repellant, and join us for WiFiSciFi on December 6!

Our gratitude to the very real town of French Lick, Indiana, for not issuing and cease and desist orders or otherwise objecting to us invading their home. If you are a resident of or have been to French Lick, we'd love to hear from you. Give us a shout at crew@oz-9.com. Until next time, Space Monkeys!

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. Please note that Oz 9 will be taking a brief holiday hiatus and we'll be back in January of 2021. Happy hols to alls!  

Merry Christmas, ya bums.

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.  Seriously, thanks to Kevin for enduring, and for Bryan, Corey, and Jess for being amazing, fantastic sports. 

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? 

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. You've been listening to: David S. Dear as Dr. Theo Bromae Richard Cowen as Leet Tim Sherburn as Colin Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Eric Perry as Southers and Dr. von Haber Zetzer Iri Alexander as Julie Bonnie Brantley as Donna and Jessie Kevin Hall as Felonius and Greg June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Aaron Clark as Le Bichon Frise and Ben Shannon Perry as Olivia and Madeline, and Richard Nadolny as your Narrator Our music is composed and performed by John Faley; our artwork is by Lucas Elliott.

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!

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 it before I say it. So.... It's late.  You've been listening to: Bonnie Brantley as Donna and Jessie Eric Perry as Dr. von Haber Zetzer & Joe Shannon Perry as Olivia and Madeline Aaron Clark as Le Bichon Frise David S.

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, and maybe we can talk about maintaining a schedule. It won't happen, but we can talk. You've been listening to... Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Lee Shackleford as Pluto Iri Alexander as Julie Aaron Clark as Ben Bonnie Brantley as Donna Richard Cowen as Tiberius Kevin Hall as Felonius Eric Perry as Mr. Southers, and Richard Nadolny as your Narrator.

Our next episode is extra special, and we're super excited to bring it to you. Plus, someone else is doing the production, so it'll probably be on time! Until then, Space Monkeys!

I'm contractually obligated to tell you that we're running a Kickstarter campaign to try to fund turning Oz 9 into a comic book. So please give us money, if you can, or tell other people to give us money. Or both. Thanks and whatever. 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. Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia Richard Cowen as Leet David S. Dear as Dr. Theo Bromaeeee... June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Kevin Hall as Greg Eric Perry as Dr von Haber-Zetzer and JoeBonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Tim Sherburn as Colin Aaron Clark as Ben Iri Alexander as JulieSarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Richard Nadolny as your Narratorand Kyle Jones as Narrator 2 Our artwork (which is also in the comic book, just sayin') is by Lucas Elliott; our music is composed and performed by John Faley, except the MCCACEC fight song, which was composed and ... lyricized? lyricked? by Sarah Golding. Oz 9 is written and produced by Shannon Perry. Until next time, Space Monkeys!

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 don't only make you sneeze, they cram themselves up your nose until you beg for mercy.  The PA has been fwipped, so if you have even remotely appropriate experience, we're hiring. You've been listening to... Tim Sherburn as Colin Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Richard Cowen as Leet Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia Eric Perry as Dr von Haber-Zetzer, Joe, and Mr Southers June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros David S Dear as Dr. Theo Bromae Aaron Clark as Le Bichon Frise and Ben Kevin Hall as Greg Iri Alexander as Julie Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Lee Shackleford as Pluto and Richard Nadolny as your Narrator Our music is composed and performed by John Faley; our artwork is by Lucas Elliott.

With just three episodes (well, this one plus two more) 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? Sheesh. You've been listening to: Bonnie Brantley as Jessie David S Dear as Dr Theo Bromae Eric Perry as Howard, Dr. von Haber Zetzer, and Joe Tim Sherburn as Colin and Emily June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia Richard Cowen as Leet Kevin Hall as Greg Aaron Clark as Le Bichon Frise, and Richard Nadolny as your Narrator.

You've been awesome! No, really. I'd love to be able to reward your patience, but instead I just have an episode. I know it's not much, but I made it myself.  One more episode to close out the season: are you ready? No. You're not. Sorry, but you are SO not ready. You're listening to: Lee Shackleford as Pluto Kevin Hall as Felonius and Greg Bonnie Brantley as Donna and Jessie Iri Alexander as Julie Aaron Clark as Ben Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Mrs Sheffield as Mrs Arris Eric Perry as Southers, Dr von Haber Zetzer and Howard Tim Sherburn as Colin and Emily Richard Cowen as Leet David S Dear as Dr. Theo and Tiberius June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Shannon Perry as Olivia and Madeline and Richard Nadolny as your Narrator.

"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?

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. From yer ever-lovin', Crew

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.

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. In this episode:  June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Tim Sherburn as Colin Bonnie Brantley as Donna and Jessie David S Dear as Dr. Theo Eric Perry as Dr. von Haber Zetzer Kevin Hall as Greg Aaron Clark as Le Bichon Frise Richard Cowen as Leet Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield & Henri Shannon Perry as Olivia and Madeline and Richard Nadolny as your Narrator.

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.

You thought your job was hard, imagine being Narrator (or Narrator 2, really) for this boatload of Twinkies.

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've been listening to: Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Richard Cowen as Leet Tim Sherburn as Colin Aaron Clark as Le Bichon Frise Shannon Perry as Olivia and Madeline June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Kevin Hall as Greg David S Dear as Dr. Theo Bromae Eric Perry as Dr. von Haber Zetzer with special guests Greg Yim as Chet and Darryl Schnell as Brett (thanks, Greg, Darryl, and Kiyomi!) Richard Nadolny was your Narrator A gentle reminder that you can support us by buying merch at our tee public and Etsy stores, or joining our Patreon. You can find links to all of the above at our website, Oz-9.com. Until next time, Space Monkeys....!

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. You've been listening to: Tim Sherburn as Emily Eric Perry as Howard Kevin Hall as Greg Shannon Perry as Olivia and Madeline Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Aaron Clark as le Bichon Frise Richard Cowen as Leet, and Me, Richard Nadolny, as your Narrator.

It's episode 69, and the whole world is just upside down.  Oh, come on, not even ONE "sixty-nine" joke? Sheesh. You've been listening to... Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Lee Shackleford as Pluto Aaron Clark as Ben Iri Alexander as Julie Eric Perry as Mr Southers Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Richard Cowen as Leet Tim Sherburn as Colin Richard Nadolny as your Narrator, and Kyle Jones as Narrator 2.

Oh, hell, now we're getting all Lord of the Ringsy with sacred tokens and some sort of binding agent to herd them all or whatever, blah blah blah. We're back on board the Oz 9, and the crew is far more interested in their next cocktail than in, I dunno, SAVING EARTH OR WHATEVER. Although, I could murder a cosmo.... You've been listening to.... Eric Perry as Dr von Haber Zetzer Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield David S Dear as Dr Theo Bromae June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Aaron Clark as Le Bichon Frise Richard Cowen as Leet Kevin Hall as Greg Tim Sherburn as Colin Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia and Kyle Jones as Narrator 2, with Richard Nadolny as your Narrator Our artwork is by Lucas Elliott, our music is by John Faley, and Oz 9 is written and produced by Shannon Perry.

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. You've been listening to: Kevin Hall as Greg Eric Perry as Howard David S Dear as Dr Theo Bromae Lee Shackleford as Pluto Tim Sherburn as Emily and Colin Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia Richard Cowen as Leet Kyle Jones as Narrator 2 and Richard Nadolny as your Narrator.

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. 

Content warning: Richard narrates this episode, so take care of you.  To start, 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.  You've been listening to: Eric Perry as Joe and Howard Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield David S Dear as Tiberius June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Aaron Clark as Ben Richard Cowen as Leet Kevin Hall as Greg and Felonius Tim Sherburn as Colin and Emily Bonnie Brantley as Jessie Lee Shackleford as Pluto Shannon Perry as Madeline Kyle Jones as Narrator 2, and Richard Nadolny as your Narrator Our music is by John Faley; our artwork is by Lucas Elliott. Oz 9 is written and produced by Shannon Perry. Support us on Patreon by going to our website, https://oz-9.com and following the links. You'll also find the transcript for this episode (and all the others) there. See you 'round the bend, Space Monkeys. 

Warning: this is narrated by Richard, so take care of you.  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.  BTW, St. Leonard's Day isn't a real thing. But it should be. You've been listening to... Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Richard Cowen as Leet Tim Sherburn as Colin Aaron Clark as Ben and le Bichon Frise June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Kevin Hall as Greg Shannon Perry as Madeline Iri Alexander as Julie Eric Perry as Dr von Haber Zetzer, Mr Southers, and Joe David S Dear as Dr. Theo Bromae Lee Shackleford as Pluto Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Kyle Jones is Narrator 2, and Richard Nadolny is your Narrator Our music is by John Faley; our artwork is by Lucas Elliott. Oz 9 is written by Shannon Perry and edited and produced by Oliver Morris.  Until next time, Space Monkeys!

Note: This episode is narrated by Richard Nadolny. 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? Our favorite cabbage-heads are once again struggling to survive, and the smart money is on the plants. You've been listening to: Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Aaron Clark as Ben and le Bichon Frise David S Dear as Tiberius and Dr. Theo Bromae Shannon Perry as Olivia and Madeline Richard Cowen as Leet Tim Sherburn as Colin and Emily Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Kevin Hall as Greg June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Eric Perry as Dr von Haber Zetzer, Joe, and Howard Kyle Jones is Narrator 2 and Richard Nadolny is your Narrator Our music is by John Faley; our artwork is by Lucas Elliott. Oz 9 is written by Shannon Perry. This episode is edited by Sarah Golding; our Sound Designer is Oliver Morris. Until next time, Space Monkeys!

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.) 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.  You've been listening to: June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Tim Sherburn as Colin Shannon Perry as Olivia and Madeline Richard Cowen as Leet Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Kevin Hall as Greg and Felonius Eric Perry as Dr von Haber Zetzer and Southers David S Dear as Dr. Theo Bromae Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Aaron Clark as Ben and le Bichon Frise Bonnie Brantley as Jessie Kyle Jones as Narrator 2 and Richard Nadolny as your Narrator Our music is by John Faley; our artwork is by Lucas Elliott. Oz 9 is written by Shannon Perry. As previously mentioned, production was by the Dream Team of Sarah Golding and Oliver Morris. Until next time, Space Monkeys, try not to bump into the moon.   

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. Just ... listen to the thing. Or not. Whatever~ oh for fu- Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia June Clark Eubanks as Teresa and the Albatros Eric Perry as Joe and Dr von Haber Zetzer Tim Sherburn as Colin Richard Cowen as Leet David S Dear as Dr. Theo Bromae Kevin Hall as Greg Aaron Clark as Ben and Le Bichon Frise Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Lee Shackleford as Pluto Richard Nadolny as The Alarm Kyle Jones as Narrator 2 and Chris Nadolny Gourley as your Narrator Our music is by John Faley; our artwork is by Lucas Elliott. Our dialogue is edited by Sarah Golding, and Oliver Morris is our sound designer. Oz 9 is written by Shannon Perry. Until next time, Space Monkeys~ SERIOUSLY????

Content warning: There are some big emotions in this one, so please take care of 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.... Eric Perry as Dr von Haber Zetzer and Joe Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia David S Dear as Dr. Theo Bromae Tim Sherburn as Colin Kevin Hall as Greg and Felonius Richard Cowen as Leet Aaron Clark as Le Bichon Frise and Ben Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Kyle Jones is Narrator 2, and Chris Nadolny Gourley is your Narrator Oz 9's dialogue is edited by Sarah Golding, and Oliver Morris is our sound designer.

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.  Also, there will be a live listen-along for season-ending episode 80, so keep your eye on our Twitter (@oz9pocast) and our website (https://oz-9.com) for that one.  You've been listening to: Eric Perry as Howard, Joe, and Dr. von Haber Zetzer Tim Sherburn as Colin and Emily Richard Cowen as Leet Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie David S Dear as Dr Theo Bromae and Tiberius Aaron Clark as Le Bichon Frise and Ben Kevin Hall as Greg and Felonius Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Lee Shackleford as Pluto Kyle Jones is Narrator 2 Introducing Sarah Rhea Werner as Pipistrelle! Chris Nadolny Gourley is your Narrator Oz 9 was written by Shannon Perry, edited by Sarah Golding, and sound designed by Oliver Morris. John Faley is our composer and music man; our art is by Lucas Elliott. We love hearing from you, so leave us a review if it strikes your fancy, or hang out with us on the Cast Junkie Discord Server. Until next time, Space Monkeys, shoot for the stars. Just, not literally.

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.  And just like that, another player is removed from the board. One episode left in Season Four, space monkeys. Will anyone survive? You've been listening to... Kevin Hall as Felonius and Greg Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Eric Perry as Mr. Southers, Dr. von Haber Zetzer and Joe Sarah Rhea Werner as Pipistrelle Shannon Perry as Madeline Tim Sherburn as Colin David S Dear as Dr. Theo Bromae Bonnie Brantley as Jessie Aaron Clark as Le Bichon Frise and Ben Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Kyle Jones is Narrator 2, and Chris Nadolny Gourley is your Narrator Our spectacular artwork is by Lucas Elliott; all this gorgeous music is by John Faley. Dialogue editing is from the brilliant Sarah Golding, and sound design from the glorious Oliver Morris. Oz 9 is written by Shannon Perry, who can almost remember what happened in the last episode, but no guarantees. Oz 9 will be hosting a live listen-along for our season finale! Join us at 10 AM US Pacific time on our Cast Junkie Discord channel on date TBD. Keep an eye on our website and our Twitter, @Oz9podcast, for the exact date once we know what it is. To join us, find the invite link on our website, https://oz-9.com. Or go here, even: https://discord.gg/4zXBRxH. Until next time, space monkeys, shoot for the stars, but don't eat the sandwiches.

I'M LATE TO THE LISTEN ALONG, SO THIS IS WHAT YOU GET. 

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. You've been listening to: Kyle Jones as the tour guide and Narrator Two. Chris Nadolny Gourley as your Narrator,  and David S Dear as Dr. Charlie Tucket. Our music is by John Faley; our artwork by Lucas Elliott. Sarah Golding is the dialogue editor, and Oliver Morris is our sound designer. Oz 9 is written by Shannon Perry.  

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 ... Chris Nadolny Gourley as your Narrator Kyle Jones as Narrator 2  (and far-too-briefly Clarence Brown as Narrator 2) Lee Shackleford as Pluto Tim Sherburn as Colin June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Aaron Clark as Le Bichon Frise Richard Cowen as Leet Bonnie Brantley as Donna and Cpt Jessie Steven Crider as Rock Brickwell Richard Nadolny as the Alarm Shannon Perry as Olivia Our music is by John Faley, our artwork by Lucas Elliott. Be sure to check out all the shows at our very dear friends' Discussing Network!   

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 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. Tim Sherburn as Colin Bonnie Brantley as Jessie Shannon Perry as Madeline Kevin Hall as GregDavid S. Dear as himself Kyle Jones as Narrator 2 and Chris Nadolny Gourley as your Narrator Our music is by John Faley; our artwork is by Lucas Elliott. Typically, Sarah Golding is our dialog editor, and Oliver Morris is our sound designer, but you have Shannon Perry to blame for those this time. This episode of Oz-9 was written by David S. Dear.

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 9 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. 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, so you know , if you wanted to , you could, like, leave us one or something. No biggie. You've been listening to: Tim Sherburn as Colin Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia Bonnie Brantley as Jessie Chrissi Talyn Saje as Julie Eric Perry as Joe Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield David S Dear as Dr Theo BromaeKevin Hall as Greg, Kyle Jones as Narrator 2, and Chris Nadolny Gourley as your Narrator. Our music is by John Faley; our artwork is by Lucas Elliott. Sarah Golding is our dialog editor, and Oliver Morris is our sound designer. Oz 9 is written by Shannon Perry but if you say so in public, she'll deny it.

Our crew land on a strange planet ... and find someone truly strange.  BUT: here's your chance to hear a chunk of Dr. Theo's novel as our turnip greens attempt to evade what Joe refers to as "the stupidest way to die we've come up with yet." You've been listening to: Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Shannon Perry as Madeline Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Tim Sherburn as Colin Eric Perry as Joe Bonnie Brantley as Jessie Kevin Hall as Greg Kyle Jones as Narrator 2 And Chris Nadolny Gourley as your Narrator **Guest starring Ash Hunt as Officer Lowell, courtesy of Oblivity, the brilliant podcast by Rob Stringer.** If you're not familiar with Oblivity podcast, you're really missing out. Stay tuned for a tasty sample, then find more here: https://www.oblivitypodcast.com/. Oblivity is one of our favorite shows of all time, so make sure you check them out! John Faley writes our music; Lucas Elliott is responsible for our artwork. Sarah Golding is our dialogue editor, and sadly, Shannon Perry sound designed this mess. Thanks for listening, space monkeys. Now go do something useful to make up for it.

The Livestream for the Cure starts on May 17 and probably ends abruptly with much screaming on SATURDAY (not Sunday, ooops) May 20th at 8 pm when the Oz 9 crew takes over. We hope you'll join us.  Learn more here: LivestreamForTheCure.com.

You know how they say "dog bites man" isn't a story, but "man bites dog" is? First, don't bite dogs. Second, think of how many things you've taken from a junk food machine. Yeah, there's a parallel in here somewhere, and it's super spooky, but I'm tired and you're going to have to make the connection yourself. 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. You've been listening to: Eric Perry as Dr. von Haber Zetzer and Joe Shannon Perry as Olivia and Madeline Sarah Rhea Werner as Pipistrelle Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie David S Dear as Dr Theo Bromae Bonnie Brantley as JessieKevin Hall as Greg Tim Sherburn as Colin Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Aaron Clark as Le Bichon Frise. Kyle Jones as Narrator 2 And Chris Nadolny Gourley as your Narrator. Our music is by John Faley. Our artwork is by Lucas Elliott. Sarah Golding is our dialogue editor, and Shannon Perry sound designed this episode (and asks that you just go with it). Oz 9 is written by Shannon Perry. You can find all episode transcripts with their episodes on our website, https://oz-9.com. Until next time, space monkeys.

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.  You've been listening to... Eric Perry as Joe Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Lady Nibble-Biscuit Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Kevin Hall as Greg Shannon Perry as Olivia and Madeline Sarah Rhea Werner as Pipistrelle David S Dear as Dr Theo Bromae Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Aaron Clark as Le Bichon Frise Kyle Jones is Narrator Two, and Chris Nadolny Gourley is your Narrator Our artist is Lucas Elliott; our music is by John Faley. Sarah Golding is our dialogue editor and Chrisi Talyn Saje is our sound designer. Oz 9 is written by Shannon Perry. Join us again next time, Space Monkeys, and stay out of the bowely bits. 

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.  You've been listening to... Eric Perry as Joe Bonnie Brantley as Lady Nibble Biscuit and Jessie Tim Sherburn as Colin Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia Special thanks to J Michael DeAngelis from Mission: Rejected for taking on the role of The Cowboy. Kyle Jones is Narrator 2, and Chris Nadolny Gourley is your Narrator. Special special thanks to Thomas Golding for the Ragtime music in our Old Time Western bar! Our theme music is by John Faley, and our artwork is by Lucas Elliott. Sarah Golding is our dialogue editor, and Chrissy Talyn Saje sound designed this episode. Be sure to join us next time as the mystery of the ketchup pen is finally solved! Maybe.

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 music!

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 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. You've been listening to Tim Sherburn as Colin Bonnie Brantley as Jessie David S Dear as Dr Theo Bromae Kevin Hall as Greg Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield J Michael DeAngelis as Clyde the cowboy Introducing Pete Barry as ... never mind — WAS the bartender Kyle Jones is your Narrator 2, and Chris Nadolny Gourley is your Narrator Our theme and other music is composed and performed by John Faley. Thomas Golding composed and performed the additional ragtime music for this episode. Our artwork is by Lucas Elliott (who also did our COMIC BOOK and our cool pin set!! https://oz9podcast.etsy.com).

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.) Because you haven't got the sense nature gave a goat, you're listening to: Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Sarah Rhea Werner as Pipistrelle Eric Perry as Joe Aaron Clark as Le Bichon Frise Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia Lee Shackleford as Pluto introducing the Narrator's kiddo, Michaela Nadolny Gourley as Emma, the Counter Girl and John Dowgin of Mission: Rejected as Cyril the Security Guy.

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. High five, space monkey. We wouldn't be here without you. And the healer pod. You've been listening to: Kevin Hall as Greg David S Dear as Doctor Theo Bromae Bonnie Brantley as Jessie Shannon Perry as Olivia and Madeline Tim Sherburn as Colin Eric Perry as Dr von Haber Zetzer Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Kyle Jones is Narrator Two and Chris Nadolny Gourley is your Narrator Our music is composed and performed by John Faley; Lucas Elliott creates our artwork.

It's Thanksgiving, Oz 9 style, which means the only thing anyone has to be grateful for is surviving it. If you've ever wondered about the origin of stuffing, well, we have a theory for you. Also, were you aware you speak fluent Klep? It's true. And you didn't even have to practice. Take THAT, Duolingo.

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. You've been listening to... Bonnie Brantley as Jessie Tim Sherburn as Colin Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Eric Perry as Joe Kevin Hall as Greg Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Shannon Perry as Olivia.

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? You've been listening to: Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Bonnie Brantley as former Captain Jessie and Lady Nibble Biscuit David S.

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. You've been listening to: Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia Lee Shackleford as Pluto for the last time, Aaron Clark as le Bichon Frise and Ben Eric Perry as Howard, Joe, and Dr von Haber Zetzer Tim Sherburn as Colin and Emily Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Kevin Hall as Greg David S Dear as Dr Theo Bromae Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Sarah Rhea Werner as Pipistrelle Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Kyle Jones is your Narrator 2, and Chris Nadolny Gourley is your Narrator Our music is by John Faley, and our artwork is by Lucas Elliott (keep an eye out for Spy Grandma, coming from Simon & Schuster in Spring 2026!). Sarah Golding is our dialogue editor. Sound designer of this colossal mess is Shanon Perry. Oz 9 is written - apparently in her sleep - by that same Shannon Perry, which explains a lot.

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... David S Dear as Dr. Theo Bromae Kevin Hall as Greg Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Eric Perry as Dr. von Haber Zetzer Shannon Perry as Olivia Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Tim Sherburn as Colin Sarah Rhea Warner as Pipistrelle Bonnie Brantley as Duckweed, Wooly Sedge, Horsetail, and Cattail. Kyle Jones is your Narrator 2, And Chris Nadolny Gourley is your Narrator. 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.

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.

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. It's a Tuesday night, and the Oz 9 has slipped into yet another wormhole. But it's OK. This one comes with hats. You've been listening to: Lee Shackleford as Pluto Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Bonnie Brantley as Donna David S.

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?

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. You've been listening to: Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Kevin Hall as Greg Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Tim Sherburn as Colin and Emily Lee Shackleford as Pluto David S.

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.

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 Tim Sherburn as Colin and Emily Eric Perry as Joe, Howard, and Dr. von Haber Zetzer Sarah Rhea Werner as Pipistrelle Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Kevin Hall as Greg Lee Shackleford as Pluto and with our very special guests: Dr. Vikram Baliga of the genuinely brilliant podcast Planthropology, as himself!

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! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

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.

Oz 9 recently turned six, and while most of the crew asked for a quick and painless death for their birthday wish, we're still here. (If you want to give us a prezzie, we do have a Patreon, just sayin'.....) Anyway, there are fun things that happen in this episode, which is odd, so you probably don't want to miss it.

YOU have a dirty mind. "Satan's Boletes" doesn't mean *THAT*. Although it does translate to "Great Satan's Fun Guys," so maybe it's still worth a giggle, as Mrs S says. Welcome to episode 104. Please put your tray tables and seat backs in the upright, we're-all-going-to-die position, because, well, it's Oz 9, and as usual, everything is trying to kill you. Let's just say our sound designer, dialogue editor, and voice actors pulled out ALL the stops on this one, so maybe dust off the old earbuds for a really good listen. I'd say it's "immersive," but y'all, you do NOT want to get immersed in this mess, so immerse-adjacent is probably best. Like wading. Anyway.

It may not sound like it in the podcast, but life aboard the Oz 9 can be pretty boring at times. In the hiatuses (hiatusi?) between hair-on-fire moments, there's a lot of just puttering about in the inky void without much to do. So, we've been creating a game to while away the hours between crises. In this conversation, you'll hear us wittering on about this game and what it might eventually look like if we can scrape together the finances and the brain cells to get it out in the world. Keep an eye and ear out for more information and a chance to support us on Kickstarter! And yes, the next "real" episode will be out soon. We had a sort of ... incident involving a hairbrush, a rabid egret, and Mrs Sheffield's cane and... I don't want to talk about it.

Hey, Space Monkeys. Have you ever wondered what happened to the earth Oz 9 left behind? I mean, I'm not saying we CAUSED the zombie apocalypse, but the math works out. (Sorry, Sweden) 150 years ago, the zombie apocalypse apocalypted all over the globe, and now there's robots and zombies trying to wipe out what's left of humanity. Cali, a settlement scout, has big dreams but scarce resources who's just trying to stay alive, and Hannah, well, she's trapped in her zombie body, hoping not to eat anyone she actually cares about. Hannahpocalypse is a darkly funny story about love, fear, survival, and self-reliance while also being the podcast most likely to answer the question, do human beings really taste like chicken? It's a love story with sweet characters and queer crushes and the awkwardness that comes with having to communicate your affection while trying not to sprinkle your loved one with oregano. (zombie pro tip: seasoning is a total giveaway) But don't worry — Hannahpocalypse is Hopepunk at its heart, and you'll come away feeling lighter and easier about the coming end times.  Season two is nearly complete, so now's a great time to binge your way through it all on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.  On Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fbFOgMYq2oqOYHDfqIuYX?si=4698311878144cb2 Learn more about your ad choices.

It's a Wednesday eve as I write this, and as I look out the porthole into the infinite recesses of space, I'm reminded how very small each of us is against the backdrop of eternity. Given how very very minute we are and how eternal space is, I have to wonder, how the actual f^&* is a crew member from the Oz 14 floating past my porthole just as I look out?

Oooof, who cranked up the gravity? Feels heavy in here.... It's spring in the bioswamp, as much as it can ever be "spring" in space. Things are flowering, other things are ... I dunno, fauna-ing? Whatever the case, it's a bit rude round there, so maybe don't take the kids in for another month or so. And NO, I am not tearing up, I'm in the bioswamp in spring, these are allergies, for crying out loud. Or NOT crying out loud, more crying inwardly, little hiccups of despair- Oh, forget it.

Once upon a time, there was a blurb writer who dreamed of the back of book jackets or maybe even the inside front flap, or the little bit of copy under the picture in a catalog, or a word or two like "stunning!" or "ribald!" on a film poster, oooo ooooo, maybe even on the inside first few pages of a novel, somewhere just under Kirkus Reviews.... But no. Instead that blurb writer does...this. Gives hints on a podcast episode you're planning to listen to anyway so you probably don't even read it. But here we are. You don't know this, but I'm also the https://bsky.app/profile/oz9podcast.bsky.social attendant. Didn't expect that, huh? Did ya? So if you read this, drop me a note on Bluesky?

If you haven't yet discovered the podcast How I Died, you are in for a treat! A ghoulish, scary, maybe-listen-with-a-friend "treat," but yeah, a treat nonetheless! How I Died follows the story of forensic pathologist (NOT coroner) Jon Spacer. New to the oddly fatal place to live, Springfield, Dr. Spacer has an interesting super power: he can talk with the dead. Actually, that's not that impressive, hell, I can talk to the dead, but his super power is that when they talk back, he can hear them. So maybe that's the super power: he can hear the dead. OK, I'm getting a little sidetracked. Anyway, it's a great show — annoyingly well written, fabulously acted, with intense and immersive sound design, so stick it in your ears. You can find it here https://pod.link/1450764373 and in all the usual places. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

To everyone who responded to our blurb writer last time, they've been sacked. I mean ... does this look like message-in-a-bottle time? Using our show notes to get attention and complain about your job.... Seriously, we've no time for whingers 'round here- HA! April fool. Still me. It was lovely seeing some of you on the socials. I'd print out your comments, only I don't have a printer and the walls are too damp to post things on. Anyway, just wanted to let you know it's "spring" on the Oz 9, which means the bioswamp is in full flower and the mating calls of the egrets is deafening. The flowers and general greenness are pretty, but the giant spiders have taken to spinning themselves ear muffs to reduce the noise. All right for some, I guess. Anyway, hope it's pretty where you are. You've been listening to: Kevin Hall as Greg Tim Sherburn as Colin Bonnie Brantley as Donna and Jessie Eric Perry as Dr. von Haber Zetzer and Joe Pete Barry as (yuck) Bob Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie David S Dear as Dr. Theo Bromae and Tiberius Shannon Perry as Madeline and (mumble) Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Sarah Rhea Warner as Pipistrelle Kyle Jones as your Narrator 2, and Chris Nadolny Gourley is your Narrator Sarah Golding is our incredible dialogue editor, and Mark Restuccia WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND in this hella episode as our sound designer. Our music is the brainchild of John Faley, and poor artist Lucas Elliott just can't quite get free of us. Until next time, Space Monkeys, stay well, and send earplugs and a towel? I have no idea where my towel is.... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I'M SORRY, WHAT? HANG ON, LET ME GET TO A QUIETER PLACE, JUST A SECOND.... Phew. That's better. Things have gone bananarama aboard the Oz 9, and the crew has spent the last few hours trying not to get dysentery or squashed crossing a digital freeway. A few folks are hanging out in Meanwhile, which is basically a Narrators' Neverland with a few extra lost boys, and someone keeps trying to stick a fish in my ear. You're welcome to join the fracas, if you really want to, but wear a helmet and avoid Wiggy. He's an asshole.

Have you ever been invited to a party you really REALLY didn't want to go to? Like, you won't know very many people, you're not sure how to dress for it, and the atmosphere is toxic? But you're being frog-marched by an army of ants onto an away ship, so you don't really have a choice, and you're sure the chances of getting anything decent to eat are hovering at slightly below zero? Yeah, well, welcome to our world. Planet KTAALNS (Kill Them All And Leave No Survivors, or, affectionately, "Bob") awaits our bedraggled little crew, and it looks like this particularly party is going to be their last.
