Oz 9
In spring 2142, Gated Galaxies launches 400 Oz-8000 ships carrying 500,000 passengers to a new planet, but the real plan is nefarious. The story follows one ship, the Oz 9, and its incompetent crew. Within half an hour in space, hundreds are dead. A comedic sci-fi tale about a colonisation mission gone wrong.

More 9ers because let's face it: little in life is as satisfying as someone else's world spiraling utterly out of control as they get deeper and deeper into a festering bog-swamp of bad decisions and regret.Tim has an excuse -- it was hard to see at the beginning how truly ridiculous this train wreck was going to be. Chrisi joined up after it was abundantly clear that was a bad idea. We c
Interviews with yer ever-lovin' Crew: David and Bonnie
Well, I'd say the fun never ends with this crew, but in truth, empires have risen, fallen, risen again, fallen again, and risen a third time to cries of "good god, will you just stay dead" and we're all still waiting for the fun to START. But these two are modestly entertaining, if you're feeling relaxed, have some good wine, and have recently been on the sharpish end of an icepick to the

We assume our title will send tens of you dashing to Google Translate or similar to check Joe's [Jesus!] pronunciation, so spoiler alert, he's spot on. Or not. Apologies to Icelanders.
So.... 120's out. That's a thing we finally did. With it, season six concludes and begins its long trudge toward inevitable oblivion. But with goats, so it's not so bad.

Oh, yeah, hey. It's been a minute. Soooooooo... where were we?

episode one hundred & seventeen: New respect for gerbils
Yes, you read that title correctly. We have a profound respect for gerbils up here and won't hear a word against them. If you take issue with that, or indeed with Rodentia in general, well, we would remind you that the characteristic that defines Rodentia is a "single pair of continuously growing incisors in each of the upper and lower jaws,"* so let THAT keep you awake at night.

Stuck on Planet Bob where pretty much everything is awful all the time, the crew is freezing and desperate for a safe place to ... well, to screw up, if their past is any indication.

episode one hundred & fourteen: Cigars, piles of meat, and someone else's liquor
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

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?

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.

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.

It may not sound like it in the podcast, but life aboard the Oz 9 can be pretty boring at times.

YOU have a dirty mind. "Satan's Boletes" doesn't mean *THAT*. Although it does translate to "Great Satan's Fun Guys," so maybe it's still worth a giggle, as Mrs S says.Welcome to episode 104.

(If you want to give us a prezzie, we do have a Patreon, just sayin'.....)Anyway, there are fun things that happen in this episode, which is odd, so you probably don't want to miss it.

Discover Sanctuary
What would you do if you woke up on a newly terraformed planet (besides die of shock if you were on the Oz 9) to discover your husband has taken over Sanctuary city and rules with what can best be described as an iron fist? Did humans escape the frying pan of Earth only to find themselves in Mars' fire?This sounds amazing, and with Lily Rabe from American Horror Story at the helm, you kno

episode one hundred: Suitless, helmetless, and utterly baffled
Well, ain't this a kick in the underpants? No one would have believed, on that random Tuesday in 2142, that the Oz 9 would still be kicking (mumble) months later. And yet, as we stare down the barrel of our 100th full episode, well, here we still are, just to the left of Uranus, clueless and shivering in the dark.But isn't that just the human condition, basically?

It's time to check under the bed, make sure the closet doors are firmly shut, tuck any clown toys in your siblings' rooms or the freezer, and crank up the nightlight — things are getting spooky on the Oz 9."Something is coming," and it's probably not bearing ice cream or prezzies. The crew of the 9 are in trouble, and though this is no big surprise, it is nearly the end of the season, so
episode ninety-seven: Well, this is unexpected
So, a few things to discuss here. Basically, don't do ANYTHING you hear in this episode. So, I guess there's really only one thing to discuss. Never mind.Some warnings: sounds of person drowning.

Olivia frequently just gets bored watching the crew of the Oz 9 tangle themselves up in disasters of their own making, and lately she's been downloading podcasts to listen to.

She doesn't like ANYTHING, so we're all a bit shocked over here.Please take a l

We turned five years old yesterday. The podcast, I mean — Oz 9 just turned 5. How we've lasted that long, we have no idea, but we suspect it has something to do with the fact that everyone is slightly fried from the pandemic and not giving real life 100% of their attention just now. And that's cool. Real life can be a bit of a turd on a hot plate now and again, so suspending reality right

episode eighty-five: Dirty, greasy oligarchs
Exploring the Oz 9 isn't like exploring brave new worlds in the manner of highly questionable colonialists of eras past. Except for the alligators. And the swampy bits. Also not knowing what's safe to eat (hint: not bloody much). And the near-fatal encounters on a daily basis. OK, so it's actually quite a bit like exploring brave new worlds, except for the bravery.Just... listen to the ep
episode eighty-four: Would it help if I spoke stupid?
Exploration of the Oz 9 continues, and it's not going well. Though we did find some goldfish. And some bumper cars.

Warning: this is narrated by Richard, so take care of you. He didn't mean to make you sad.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 shou

Bonus: Oz 9 Past, present, and (dare we say it) future
Content Warning: Big emotions around death and suicide.Before he left us, Richard recorded several episodes ahead. Hard as it is to hear his voice, it's also a joy to have a little more Narrator to share. He wanted these episodes to go out, and we want to honor that wish. So you will hear Richard a few more times. If that's too much for you, skip on to 76, read the transcripts instead (yo

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
episode seventy: Do we have any more tuber tots?
Oh, hell, now we're getting all Lord of the Ringsy with sacred tokens and some sort of binding agent to herd them all or whatever, blah blah blah.We're back on board the Oz 9, and the crew is far more interested in their next cocktail than in, I dunno, SAVING EARTH OR WHATEVER.

episode sixty-eight: Hold our swamp hooch
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 so
episode sixty-seven: I haf been tinkering vis my shavink foam
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.You've been listening to
