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.

episode sixty-one: The “tilslørte bondepiker” maneuver

Published September 22, 2021

LOOK. I never said it would be the MORNING of September 19, I just said it would be ON September 19, so I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT.

It’s episode 61, and incredibly, it seems our crew might have actually lost some brain cells over the hiatus. I swear, if there’s a skull and crossbones on it, this crew wants to eat it, marry it, or at least put it in the garage next to something flammable.

Episode X – 1

Published September 12, 2021

Written by Lee Shackleford of the awesome sci-fi audio drama Relativity, this bonus episode exposes you to yet more of Oz 9 that you were hoping to avoid.

Is it possible an advanced alien species is coming aboard the ship? Well, yeah, I mean — they’re in space. But, are they friendly? This is the Oz 9. What are the chances?

HUGE thanks to Lee, who wrote AND produced this episode despite all our mostly unintentional efforts to thwart him. BTW, Lee is an amazing voice and stage actor, writer, and human being, so if you want to get in contact, find him at shacklefordfreelance.com.

You’ve been awesome! No, really. I’d love to be able to reward your patience, but instead I just have an episode. I know it’s not much, but I made it myself.

One more episode to close out the season: are you ready?

No. You’re not. Sorry, but you are SO not ready.

episode fifty-eight: Spucked into sace

Published May 17, 2021

With just three episodes (well, this one plus two more) left in the season, is that a cliff I see ahead? With a small branch protruding from its face, just right for hanging?

Things are moving along at a rapid pace, much like the Oz 9 isn’t, and there are surprises, tears, laughter, warming of hearts, girding of loins, rending of garments, and possibly smoochies ahead.

Oh, and you’re gonna want to stick through the credits this time. YES, WE DID THAT THING WHERE WE PUT SOMETHING IMPORTANT AFTER THE CREDITS, WOULD IT KILL YOU TO LISTEN TO THEM ONCE IN A WHILE?

Sheesh.

episode fifty-seven: But then I also say higgledy piggledy

Published May 3, 2021

This episode begins with a funeral, so you might want to have tissues handy.

The production assistant was supposed to get hypo-allergenic flowers for the ceremony but managed to find hyper-allergenic ones, which don’t only make you sneeze, they cram themselves up your nose until you beg for mercy.

The PA has been fwipped, so if you have even remotely appropriate experience, we’re hiring.
