episode 114: Cigars, piles of meat, and someone else’s liquor

Published June 26, 2025

The crew are tramping aimlessly across the blistering and occasionally freezing surface of Planet KTAALNS (Kill Them All And Leave No Survivors, otherwise known as “Bob”) and things are pretty grim. Like, not even Brothers Grimm, more Quintuplets Grimm, plus a few singles and a couple sets of Twins Grimm. Just very very grim.

I mean, they might survive, but even if they do, they’re going to smell really bad, and does anyone need that right now?

NOTE: Stay till the end to hear the trailer for a show you’ll want to listen to next: 10 Apocalypses!

episode 113: Into the clown car, y’all

Published June 1, 2025

Have you ever been invited to a party you really REALLY didn’t want to go to? Like, you won’t know very many people, you’re not sure how to dress for it, and the atmosphere is toxic? But you’re being frog-marched by an army of ants onto an away ship, so you don’t really have a choice, and you’re sure the chances of getting anything decent to eat are hovering at slightly below zero?

Yeah, well, welcome to our world. Planet KTAALNS (Kill Them All And Leave No Survivors, or, affectionately, “Bob”) awaits our bedraggled little crew, and it looks like this particularly party is going to be their last.

episode 112: Don’t piss off your narrators

Published April 27, 2025

I’M SORRY, WHAT? HANG ON, LET ME GET TO A QUIETER PLACE, JUST A SECOND….

Phew. That’s better. Things have gone bananarama aboard the Oz 9, and the crew has spent the last few hours trying not to get dysentery or squashed crossing a digital freeway. A few folks are hanging out in Meanwhile, which is basically a Narrators’ Neverland with a few extra lost boys, and someone keeps trying to stick a fish in my ear.

You’re welcome to join the fracas, if you really want to, but wear a helmet and avoid Wiggy. He’s an asshole.

episode 111: There’s a bulldozer outside

Published April 6, 2025

To everyone who responded to our blurb writer last time, they’ve been sacked. I mean … does this look like message-in-a-bottle time? Using our show notes to get attention and complain about your job…. Seriously, we’ve no time for whingers ’round here-

HA! April fool. Still me. It was lovely seeing some of you on the socials. I’d print out your comments, only I don’t have a printer and the walls are too damp to post things on.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know it’s “spring” on the Oz 9, which means the bioswamp is in full flower and the mating calls of the egrets is deafening. The flowers and general greenness are pretty, but the giant spiders have taken to spinning themselves ear muffs to reduce the noise. All right for some, I guess. Anyway, hope it’s pretty where you are.

Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield
Sarah Rhea Warner as Pipistrelle
Kyle Jones as your Narrator 2, and

Sarah Golding is our incredible dialogue editor, and Mark Restuccia WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND in this hella episode as our sound designer. Our music is the brainchild of John Faley, and poor artist Lucas Elliott just can’t quite get free of us.

Until next time, Space Monkeys, stay well, and send earplugs and a towel? I have no idea where my towel is….

episode 110: Hell bent for leisure

Published March 23, 2025

Once upon a time, there was a blurb writer who dreamed of the back of book jackets or maybe even the inside front flap, or the little bit of copy under the picture in a catalog, or a word or two like “stunning!” or “ribald!” on a film poster, oooo ooooo, maybe even on the inside first few pages of a novel, somewhere just under Kirkus Reviews….

But no. Instead that blurb writer does…this. Gives hints on a podcast episode you’re planning to listen to anyway so you probably don’t even read it. But here we are. You don’t know this, but I’m also the https://bsky.app/profile/oz9podcast.bsky.social attendant. Didn’t expect that, huh? Did ya? So if you read this, drop me a note on Bluesky? So I know someone out there did? Hellllllloooooooooooo…..?

episode 109: That whole *spoiler spoiler* dead situation

episode 109: That whole spoiler spoiler dead situation

Published March 9, 2025

Oooof, who cranked up the gravity? Feels heavy in here….

It’s spring in the bioswamp, as much as it can ever be “spring” in space. Things are flowering, other things are … I dunno, fauna-ing? Whatever the case, it’s a bit rude ’round there, so maybe don’t take the kids in for another month or so.

And NO, I am not tearing up, I’m in the bioswamp in spring, these are allergies, for crying out loud. Or NOT crying out loud, more crying inwardly, little hiccups of despair- Oh, forget it. Just listen and pass me the tissue.

episode 108: Playing Pluto’s advocate

Published February 25, 2025

It’s a Wednesday eve as I write this, and as I look out the porthole into the infinite recesses of space, I’m reminded how very small each of us is against the backdrop of eternity. Given how very very minute we are and how eternal space is, I have to wonder, how the actual f^&* is a crew member from the Oz 14 floating past my porthole just as I look out? I mean… what are the chances?! Nearly spilled my vodka tonic. Rude.

Whatever it is you wish for when you wish upon a star, may it show up on your doorstep when you least expect it and most need it. And may it stay exactly the right number of days before leaving, having cleaned up after itself, put its sheets in the washing machine, and left a lovely hostess gift on the dining room table.
