Oz 9

Gated Galaxiesoz-9.com
It's Spring 2142 (a Tuesday), and Gated Galaxies has launched its 400 Oz-8000 ships, each carrying 50,000 "resting guests" to, hopefully, a new home on a shiny, brand-new planet. Except this whole "terraform and take over" idea isn't actually the plan; the real plan is far more nefarious and involves a great deal of cackling. But those aboard the ships don't know that, so off they toodle (those that make it out of Earth's atmosphere, at least), all shiny and optimistic. This is the story of one of those ships – the Oz 9 – and its tiny crew of hopeless incompetents. So far, they've been in space half an hour and several hundred people are dead. So... bright future, clearly.

episode twenty-five: Hey, Doc, can I pet this?

Leet's in Dr. von Haber Zetzer's lab, and you know no good can come of that. Colin is lethally in need of a nap, and the Albatros is on the hunt for a husband. Things are weird aboard the Oz 9, and that's saying something. You’ve been listening to: Bonnie Brantley as Jessie Aaron Clark as le Bichon Frise June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Richard Cowen as Leet Tim Sherburn as Colin Kevin Hall as the Tour Guide Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia Eric Perry as Head 1, Dr. von Haber Zetzer and......

episode twenty-four: Is it really an esophagus anymore?

There's an assassin in memory storage ... that's just not something you hear every day, is it? Colin's eaten a highly questionable olive, Dr. von Haber Zetzer is learning about strange cultural phenomena, and something about different kinds of peas. It's another day aboard the Oz 9. Maybe their last day. As usual. You're listening to: Eric Perry as Dr. von Haber Zetzer and Head One Tim Sherburn as Colin Bonnie Brantley as Jessie June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Aaron Clark as le Bichon Frise R...

Bonus: Can you give yourself the finger?

Who doesn't love a good origin story, amirite? Here's hoping you also love a mediocre one. Even a sort of lousy one that involves a lot of people with fishy sounding names (you'll get that joke once you've heard it). This is our cameo-laden bonus episode, literally dripping with the talents of some of our favorite folks. You're listening to: Barbara McGarry as Minister Agata Kalhoty Raymond Morse as Dr. Skinner Jessica Vest as Dr. Flounder Karin Heimdahl as Lady Trout Travis Hull as the Giant Sq...

episode twenty-three: All of ze tings in zis vun

I think the lesson to be learned from this episode is, if you ever attend a cocktail party at Dr. von Haber Zetzer's, maybe don't eat the appetizers. You’ve been listening to: June Clark Eubanks as Glenda Bonnie Brantley as Jessie Tim Sherburn as Colin and Buck Aaron Clark as le Bichon Frise Richard Cowen as Leet Eric Perry as Dr. von Haber Zetzer and Mr. Southers Shannon Perry as Olivia And Richard Nadolny as your narrator.

episode twenty-two: It wasn't an olive

Name three animals that can see in the dark. What happens when an animal that couldn't... suddenly can? Given that it's happening aboard the Oz 9, my guess is that it isn't good. Strange things are afoot aboard our ship, and most of them are the crew. You’ve been listening to: Bonnie Brantley as Jessie June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Tim Sherburn as Dick, Colin, and Emily Eric Perry as Doctor von Haber Zetzer and Head 1 Aaron Clark as le Bichon Frise and Martin Richard Cowen as Leet Shannon P...

episode twenty-one: You're not getting a tombstone

You're never going to guess what's going on aboard the Oz 9... Well, yes, you're right, they are in danger of their lives... And yes, right again, they've made a bunch of dumb mistakes that got them here... Ok, FINE, I guess you can guess, smart ass, congratulations.

Bonus: All Together Now

It's the much-awaited (or not really), highly anticipated (or sort of mediumly anticipated) Full Cast Q & A, including the guy who does our music! We had a rare opportunity to gather the entire cast of Oz 9 together in one room, so we quickly made a plan to cast even more doubts on our status as functioning adults by making everyone answer questions. Thanks to some awesome patrons and Podcast Junkie discord server family, we had fun questions to ask, answer, and not have a clue about. So muc...

Bonus: And the Rest

A behind-the-scenes, into-the-chaos peek into how Oz 9 gets made and why it's .... the way it is. There are some spoilers here, so be sure you listen to the whole of Season 1 (maybe 2 or 3 times) before you take this on. You've been listening to: Eric Perry (Joe, Dr. von Haber Zetzer, Head 1, Mr. Southers) Bonnie Brantley (Jessie, Donna, Lucretia Nibble-Biscuit) Shannon Perry (Madeline, Olivia) Richard Nadolny (Narrator) Theme and incidental music composed and performed by John Faley.

Bonus Cast interviews: Colin, Leet, LBF, the Albatros

Oz 9 podcast is on a hiatus between seasons one and two, but you didn't think you were getting off the hook that easily, did you? Goodness, no. In this spoiler-ridden, one-f-bomb-droppin' bonus episode (and we use the word "bonus" with some optimism), four of our cast members chat about life aboard the Oz 9. Join: June Clark Eubanks (the Albatros and Glenda) Aaron Clark (le Bichon Frise and Ben) Tim Sherburn (Colin, Emily/Head two, Buck Nubbins) and Richard Cowen (Leet) Theme and incidental musi...

episode twenty: In space, no one can hear you stupid

Somewhere aboard the Oz 9, a bomb is ticking. Actually, a crap-ton of things are going wrong aboard the Oz 9; this is just the biggest and most likely to kill our crew the soonest. It's the final episode of Season 1, and our crew is, yes, yes, let's say it all together shall we? in mortal peril. The difference this time is – if they don't survive it, we might not either. You’re listening to: June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Aaron Clark as le Bichon Frise Richard Cowen as Leet Tim Sherburn as C...

episode nineteen: Peeing in a bucket and eating pocket lint

If you've ever been in mortal peril, you know the most crucial decision you'll make in that situation is your choice of writing implement. No? Well, that makes you smarter than this crowd, but before your head swells up just in time for bikini season, remember, we are talking about the dumbest bunch of sofa cushions ever to have their own theme song. Things have never been good aboard the failing, flailing Oz 9, but they've recently taken a turn for the worse. And, given that all the left-side e...

episode eighteen: I speak a little oregano

You know that one colleague at work who is just hopeless? Tries earnestly to do the job, help out, and be useful, but usually ends up spilling his beer on the control panel and shorting out half the city? Yeah, would you mind taking him back because WE HAVE ENOUGH IDIOTS UP HERE, THANKS. Sorry. Seriously the best part of this whole episode is when someone named Kenzie tries to order Thai food.

Bonus: Between the wormhole and the Rinse McGoo

It's that kind of day, innit? One minute, you're out having a quick ciggie next to the tip, and then the world goes all wobbly, and suddenly you're aboard someone else's spaceship, only it's held together with duct tape and optimism and crewed by the biggest bunch of idiots who ever graced the skies, and there's something ... or possibly someone ... all over your boots. Big thanks to the Mark Restuccia of the Best in Galaxy podcast for lending us C4 for a while. You can have him back now. You've...

episode seventeen: So the deed could not be done

The episode that finally answers the critical question: why do robots climb like cows? There's an arm under the sofa, Jessie's dangling from a shelf in Maintenance Bay 15, and we learn what ligatures are for. It's, like, Day 7? 8? aboard the Oz 9, and things haven't gotten any better. Does anyone know a good pycnologist?

episode sixteen: We are not breathing the passengers

'Allo, little piggies! The notorious assassin le Bichon Frise is circling our crew like a vulture who hopes his prey drops soon because he's tired and hungry and a little cranky and frankly probably a little dehydrated and his blood sugar's low, he just knows it, and this dry desert air is doing NOTHING for his skin. He's ready to do some assassaning, but this bloody crew just will not cooperate. Oh, and pod 666 just popped open, so it's anyone's guess what happens next. Featuring the talents of...

episode fifteen: Heroic Running!

Here's a shocker: the Oz 9 crew's lives are in danger. Suffocation, toxic gas, a loose assassin, the risk of being crushed under their own denseness – perils lurk around every corner and certainly between slices of bread. Still, they've managed to make it through 14 episodes, so there may be hope for them yet. Oh, who are we kidding. These people would starve to death on a broken carousel.

Bonus: Deep breath and follow the doors

It's late, and there's an assassin loose aboard the Oz 9, but Leet isn't going to let that interrupt his conversation with sleeping people. After all, in at least a dozen conversations, only one of them called him stupid. Leet really REALLY needs a pen pal.

episode fourteen: Of baguettes and bastards

Captain Jessie is now aboard the Oz 9, which is great, except she brought her assassin with her, and he's managed to get a hold of some fairly crucial information about the Oz 9. But he's kind of an idiot, so ... there's that. Will our pointless but slightly endearing crew survive? More importantly, who will hire the Narrator if they don't?

Join our intrepid — sorry, that's insipid, — crew as they try to help Jessie *pouf* her way to safety.

episode twelve: A bucket full of mime

A pod has popped open, and something is roaming loose aboard the Oz 9. Something silent.... but ... deadly? Jessie, Captain of the neighboring Oz 6748, may have good reason to fear for her life, AND Olivia explains the MRDR protocol, which is just as bad as it sounds. Not sure if you knew this yet, but Gated Galaxies is kind of crap.

It's Day Two And we're as startled as you are that anyone's still alive. Day two on the Oz 9 sees the crew celebrating fewer fatalities (sorry, Matt) at least on board (sorry, Sweden) and making a critical discovery about cheese. But the two-headed repairbot is awake again and wreaking some havoc, Madeline needs to warn Jessie about her crew, and apparently, if someone invites you to go on an adventure in space, don't go back for your purse or to the porta-loo.

In which It's "night" on the Oz 9, and the crew is literally and figuratively stumbling around in the dark.
