Meet the Characters

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’,

Oz 9’s Beloved Narrator, Richard Nadolny

 

If you’re the kind of person who reads show notes, you know how flippant we generally tend to be. And no one in this cast was more flippant and irreverent than Richard, our Narrator.

He loved this show, loved being a part of it, loved hearing that you loved him, and no one laughed harder at our goofy escapades than he did. He was basically the owner of our Discord channel, jumping in to keep the fun and silly going, giving updates on my writing “process,” engaging in pun battles, and sharing the wit and warmth that made him my favorite person to talk to.

There’s so much to say about him. Too much. Simply put: he is missed. 

Please protect your mental health, and if you are at all concerned about yourself or someone else, seek professional help. You matter.

Bonus: Chat with Creator Jonathan Pezza

I know, I know, I skip a lot of bonus episodes too, but srsly, give this one a listen. Not only is Jonathan Pezza 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.”

And while I’m assigning homework, after listening, check out the links below and get ye over to Kickstarter to learn more about the Season 3 project, coming soon!!

TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEW

Thanks as ever to John Faley for the gorgeous music!

HIATUS : That slice of Joe Pye-Weed pie

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.

TRANSCRIPT

You’ve been listening to:

Tim Sherburn as Colin
Bonnie Brantley as Jessie
Shannon Perry as Madeline
Kevin Hall as Greg
David 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.

HIATUS: Discussing Oz 9

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.

TRANSCRIPT

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

HIATUS: Enough with the toad orgy, Two

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.

Episode X – 1

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.
