Mrs S, Madeline and Colin all appear in black and white against a classic noir detective drama background.

episode 95: Spill or be spilled

Published March 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?

Published February 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.

Shannon Perry as Olivia
Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie
Tim Sherburn as Colin
Sarah Rhea Warner as Pipistrelle

The trailer is for a show we love and that is written, produced, and stars our own Julie: Chrisi Talyn Saje. You’ll find Madison On The Air wherever you listen to podcasts.

episode 92: A Midsummer Night’s … whatever the hell this is

Published February 4, 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 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.

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.

Know you now that Oz 9 doth hang about with many a rascally and ill-reputed tale amidst the Fable and Folly Network; go thee hence to fableandfolly.com and there beguile your idle hours with true delights.

episode 91: Measuring tape awareness day

Published January 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.

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.

Published January 2, 2024

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

Published December 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.

It’s Thanksgiving, Oz 9 style, which means the only thing anyone has to be grateful for is surviving it.

episode eighty-eight: A hairball in your haggis

Published November 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.

High five, space monkey. We wouldn’t be here without you. And the healer pod.
