episode 83: In short, she is baked

Published June 11, 2023

You know how they say “dog bites man” isn’t a story, but “man bites dog” is? First, don’t bite dogs. Second, think of how many things you’ve taken from a junk food machine. Yeah, there’s a parallel in here somewhere, and it’s super spooky, but I’m tired and you’re going to have to make the connection yourself.

In this episode, Olivia’s I-drops (iDrops?) have gotten mixed up with some other substances, and, well, if you thought added chaos might cancel out existing chaos….nope. It just piles on.

HIATUS : That slice of Joe Pye-Weed pie

Published April 12, 2023

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.

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/)

Chris Nadolny Gourley as your Narrator
Kyle Jones as Narrator 2

June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros
Aaron Clark as Le Bichon Frise

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

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.

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?

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.

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?
