episode fifty-six: Our future together is suddenly in doubt

episode fifty-six: Our future together is suddenly in doubt

Published April 28, 2021

I’m contractually obligated to tell you that we’re running a Kickstarter campaign to try to fund turning Oz 9 into a comic book. So please give us money, if you can, or tell other people to give us money. Or both. Thanks and whatever. (GOOD NEWS, WE’RE FUNDED!)

Here’s a surprise: Jessie doesn’t like comics. She says they’re too colourful and she’s never read one. I would have recommended she read them when she’s not in a bad mood, but maybe that’s what she’s already doing?

TRANSCRIPT

Anyway, you know the drill. You’ve been listening to these people. Gourd knows why.

Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia
Richard Cowen as Leet
David S. Dear as Dr. Theo Bromaeeee…
June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros
Kevin Hall as Greg
Eric Perry as Dr von Haber-Zetzer and Joe
Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna
Tim Sherburn as Colin
Aaron Clark as Ben
Iri Alexander as Julie
Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield
Richard Nadolny as your Narrator
and Kyle Jones as Narrator 2

Our artwork (which is also in the comic book, just sayin’) is by Lucas Elliott; our music is composed and performed by John Faley, except the MCCACEC fight song, which was composed and … lyricized? lyricked? by Sarah Golding. Oz 9 is written and produced by Shannon Perry.

Until next time, Space Monkeys!

episode fifty-five: Monkey Man, gather the sweets

episode fifty-five: Monkey Man, gather the sweets

Published March 23, 2021

OK, OK, yes, it’s late AGAIN. We know. We’ve been having a really rough time lately, the kids are sick, the roof caved in when we had that thunderstorm last week, and then there was that other thing….

No, you’re right. None of that is true. Our alarm is a bored dude just saying “alarm alarm alarm” over and over, so clearly this is not a well-financed, slick-and-professional thing we’ve got going here.

Throw some money at our Patreon or Kofi, and maybe we can talk about maintaining a schedule. It won’t happen, but we can talk.

TRANSCRIPT

You’ve been listening to…
Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield
Lee Shackleford as Pluto
Iri Alexander as Julie
Aaron Clark as Ben
Bonnie Brantley as Donna
Richard Cowen as Tiberius
Kevin Hall as Felonius
Eric Perry as Mr. Southers,
and Richard Nadolny as your Narrator.

Our music is composed and performed by John Faley. Our artwork is by Lucas Elliott. This episode was directed by June Clark Eubanks. Oz 9 is written and produced by Shannon Perry.

Our next episode is extra special, and we’re super excited to bring it to you. Plus, someone else is doing the production, so it’ll probably be on time!

Until then, Space Monkeys!

episode fifty-four: Remove the bejesus with fear

Published March 23, 2021

All the backstory you never wanted and then some. We find out some stuff about Le Bichon Frise, some other stuff about Donna, blah blah blah. Greg falls over at one point, so that’s pretty funny.

I’d say “sorry it’s so late,” but I feel like I ought to be it before I say it. So…. It’s late.

episode fifty-three: Where’s Grammar Girl when you need her?

episode fifty-three: Where’s Grammar Girl when you need her?

Published February 26, 2021

The universe may be crashing around your ears, but as long as you know the difference between who and whom and how to scoop up a dangling participle, you’ll be all right. It’s kind of like knowing where your towel is.

In this very special episode, a guest pops onto the ship and into Leet’s arms, and for a few moments at least, all seems right with the world.

A very few moments. And not really “right” so much as “slightly less wrong.”

Many thanks to our very special guest, Mignon Fogarty, educator, author, speaker, and host of the brilliant, award-winning Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips to Better Writing podcast!

episode fifty-two: Everyone knows about böckling

Published February 26, 2021

Do you know how to disable an invisible alarm? Yeah, well, listen close; someone on our crew is about to tell you.

Well, maybe… we’re not entirely sure it works, so I don’t know that I’d test it at the Louvre. Maybe Paddy MacDougal’s Museum O’Naughty Limericks and Saucy Sea Shanties first.

Just steer clear of the green milkshakes. Actually, that’s a really good lesson for the Oz 9 as well.

Anyway, here’s the episode, it’s late, and there are probably half a dozen limericks at Paddy’s that could push it down and steal its lunch money, but never mind. Someone bring me some wine, and don’t spare the chickens.

episode fifty-one: I look damn good in jodhpurs

Published January 26, 2021

The crew aboard the Oz 9 are stalactites, holding tight to the ceiling in unexpected zero Gs, and the crew on the ground are stalagmites, who might survive if a crabby, oddly dressed ancient god decides to let them go.

You know, same old same old.

Oz 9 is back from holiday break, though why a crew that typically works a solid seven-minute day needs a break is yet to be determined.

We hope you missed us as much as we very nearly missed that very important satellite. Hey, who needs news in this day and age, amirite?

Thanks to the awesome Ann Sloan for providing the trailer for her very funny Carlotta Beautox Chronicles podcast!

Diary of a Oz9ivist: Is this a cheese dream?

Published January 3, 2021

What happens when the alien aboard your ship gets hungry?

Usually really gross things involving lots of blood and gore and that, but fortunately for us, the grossest thing in this episode is a small critter popping out of an orifice. Which is actually less gross than it sounds. Wait for it.

The ships of Samantha Lyons and the Oz 9 have stumbled into one another in space, and Leet’s had lots of caffeine, and there’s some dancing.

Our thanks to the glorious Beccy Stirrup, creator, writer, and actor on Diary of a Space Archivist for creating this with us!

Please note that Oz 9 will be taking a brief holiday hiatus and we’ll be back in January of 2021. Happy hols to alls!

episode fifty: M’Lady of Little Chadwick upon Bad Patter

Published November 22, 2020

Humans on the receiving end of divine affections don’t do so well, mythologically speaking. However, after having seen Donna in action, the smart money is on the homo sapien. Pluto better watch his gold lamé onesie, if he knows what’s good for him.

With this episode, we are officially halfway through Season 3 of Oz 9, so let’s all take a moment to realize this crew of idiots has managed to survive this long. Well, apart from Matt, that guard in the tunnel, Lady Nibble-Biscuit, the mime, several thousand pod-occupants, 1/3 of Sweden…. never mind.

As this gaggle of ninnies is still out there, do please be careful. Wear your mask, wash your hands, carry Idiot Repellant, and join us for WiFiSciFi on December 6!

episode forty-nine: I’m soft, squishy, and covered in Hollandaise sauce

Published November 8, 2020

I’d apologize for this being so late, but if you think about it, I gave you an extra 16-and-a-half Oz-free hours, which is, like, a decade in idiot years.

It’s been a long day aboard the Oz 9. You think bad decision making is easy — Doritos for dinner? Yes, please. Easy! Go for a run or drink chocolate milk with vodka? Vodka. Definitely. Easy! —and yet, it’s exhausting.

So, you’ll get no apology from me, unless I come across one on my way to the couch.
