Episode 112: Don’t piss off your narrators

Published April 27, 2025

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.

Episode 111: There’s a bulldozer outside

Published April 6, 2025

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.

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….

episode 110: Hell bent for leisure

Published March 23, 2025

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? So I know someone out there did? Hellllllloooooooooooo…..?

episode 109: That whole *spoiler spoiler* dead situation

episode 109: That whole spoiler spoiler dead situation

Published March 9, 2025

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. Just listen and pass me the tissue.

episode 108: Playing Pluto’s advocate

Published February 25, 2025

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? I mean… what are the chances?! Nearly spilled my vodka tonic. Rude.

Whatever it is you wish for when you wish upon a star, may it show up on your doorstep when you least expect it and most need it. And may it stay exactly the right number of days before leaving, having cleaned up after itself, put its sheets in the washing machine, and left a lovely hostess gift on the dining room table.

Published December 24, 2024

NOTE: Stay tuned after the credits and all, for a trailer of a great new show: A Paladin’s Bargain. You can listen to it in the usual places. You’ll want to.

Thanks as ever to Lucas Elliott for the new Narrators (or, Narrator and Tour Guide) artwork!

It’s Christmas eve as we publish this, and all of us monkeys wish all of you monkeys a very happy holiday season. We’re hanging stockings over here (and about passing out from the fumes; just FYI space booties do NOT breathe) and hallucinating dancing sugar plums.

We’d do some sort of look back over the past year, but … let’s not. There was some weird stuff in there. Be well, stay well, all that shizz.

Hugs from yer ever-lovin’,
Crew

episode 104: #GreatSatansBoletes

Published December 7, 2024

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.

TRANSCRIPT

Anyway. You’ve been listening to:

Eric Perry as Joe and Dr. von Haber Zetzer
Pete Barry as stupid, horrible Bob
Kevin Hall as Greg
David S. Dear as Doctor Theo Bromae
Sarah Rhea Warner as Pipistrelle
Lee Shackleford as Pluto
Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia
Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie
Tim Sherburn as Colin
Bonnie Brantley as Donna and Jessie
Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield
Kyle Jones is your Narrator 2
And Chris Nadolny Gourley is your Narrator

John Faley is our music director, and our artwork is by Lucas Elliott. Sarah Golding is our dialogue editor, and Mark Restuccia is our sound designer. Thanks also to Kyle Jones for the episode artwork refresh! Oz 9 is written by Shannon Perry.

Today we’re recommending the podcast Sorry About the Murder! In a nice little Canadian town, a Zamboni driver must solve a murder to clear his Québecois name … then ready the ice for tonight’s hockey game. By the folks who brought you Human-B-Gon! Check it out on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

episode 103: A hungry long-tailed weasel

Published November 23, 2024

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. Bring confetti. But don’t throw it because it REALLY makes Joe nuts.
