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.”

HIATUS: Discussing Oz 9

Published April 12, 2023

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

episode 81: Hangover remedies and really good sunscreen

Published April 12, 2023

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: Human B-Gon. Check it out here on Podchaser!

And we haven’t gotten any reviews for, like, AGES, so you know <scuffs shoe in dirt>, if you wanted to <stuffs hands deep in pockets>, you could, like, leave us one or something. No biggie.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.
