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.

episode 73: Is that a Giant Turnip?

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.

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.

Published January 5, 2022

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.
