The Oz 9 ship against a starry sky. Some characters are visible through the windshield.

HIATUS: Enough with the toad orgy, Two

Published February 8, 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.

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 79: Sand where no man is making pearls

episode 79: Sand where no man is making pearls

Published October 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.

And just like that, another player is removed from the board. One episode left in Season Four, space monkeys. Will anyone survive?

episode 78: Is anyone else seeing wings?

Published September 25, 2022

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.

Published August 28, 2022

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….

episode 76: Covered in goat dung and yodelers

Published August 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.

Just … listen to the thing. Or not. Whatever~ oh for fu-

episode 75: Mad stories of trampled relatives

Published July 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.)

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?

Our favorite cabbage-heads are once again struggling to survive, and the smart money is on the plants.

episode 73: Is that a Giant Turnip?

Published June 30, 2022

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.
