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

episode 72: Cahooty

Published June 11, 2022

Content warning: Richard narrates this episode, so take care of you.

To start, massive cahooty thanks to Oliver Morris of Kane and Feels: Daytrippers without whom this episode might never have gotten edited and out. And do stay tuned for a taste of Kane and Feels at the end of the episode — it’s delicious!

It’s episode 72, and our squad of scrambled eggs are trying desperately to figure out who they can trust and who they can’t, and the Gordion knot of it all will probably never be untangled, not that any of this crew have any notion what a Gordion knot is when it’s at home.

Good luck to us all.

See you ’round the bend, Space Monkeys.

episode 71: Rumblings in the astral region

Published April 10, 2022

If you’ve never had chocolate milkweed with rosemallows, you’re really missing out.

On stomach upset, whiplash-inducing vomiting, an itchy rash, and unconsciousness, which is really the best part.

Despite the litany of side effects, Leet is dishing up a mug just for you, so please join us aboard the Oz 9, as we head out for another entirely pointless journey.

Be sure to stay till the end to hear a trailer of a much more sensible and quite fabulous science fiction audio drama: Chaika.

episode sixty-eight: Hold our swamp hooch

Published January 25, 2022

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Granny Shelp,
who held the codes to Gated Galaxies, and the key to our hearts.
Much love to one of our forever space monkeys.

Leet’s been boiling up … well, we’re not sure what those are. He thought they were apples, and he was trying to make apple cider. Or maybe apple sauce, we’re not really clear what he was aiming for. In any event, he ended up with something that can only be contained in these special jars the Albatros makes from clay from the bioswamp; it burns right through everything else.

Anyway, if someone invites you to have a swig of swamp hooch, we really suggest you run away. Maybe punch them first, because clearly they’re trying to kill you, and that’ll give you a little more time to escape.

We hope you all had a great holiday season.

We didn’t.

Something blew up and it stunk like crazy, but we still have no idea what it was, and Dr. von Haber Zetzer’s not talking. We’re not sure if that’s because he’s guilty or in shock, but either way, we’re not prying an answer out of him any time soon.

Yeah, it’s kind of a long title, but it’s an important question.

This episode is a flashback in which random, weird stuff happens, just in case you were wondering if 2021 and 2022 were the weirdest history gets.

episode sixty-two: I sent him a hippotigrus

Published October 23, 2021

It’s true many people complain that Oz 9 is not only NOT educational, it may in fact “leach information out of your brain as you listen.” (thanks, mom — real nice)

We beg to differ. Did you know zebras were once called “hippotigruses” (hippotigri? whatever)? Think of how much you’ve learned about plants and space and maths and fugu and Sweden!

Anyway, if we’re making you dumber, I think you know exactly what Olivia would have to say to that. Because that’s ANOTHER THING YOU LEARNED.
