episode eighty-five: Dirty, greasy oligarchs
Oz 9
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 episode. Try to stay out of the quagmires, and if you do get quagged, at least wipe your feet before you go wandering around the ship. You've been listening to... Eric Perry as Joe Bonnie Brantley...

episode eighty-four: Would it help if I spoke stupid?
Oz 9
Exploration of the Oz 9 continues, and it's not going well. Though we did find some goldfish. And some bumper cars. Traveling via vending machine is just unpredictable and not nearly as filling as you might imagine, but the crew are blundering around the ship from room to room and sandwich to sandwich, flirting with cowboys and this sentence is a bit long so I'm stopping now. You've been listening to... Eric Perry as Joe Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Lady Nibble-Biscuit Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Kevin Hall as Greg Shannon Perry as Olivia and Madeline Sarah Rhea Werner as...

episode eighty-three: In short, she is baked
Oz 9
You know how they say "dog bites man" isn't a story, but "man bites dog" is? First, don't bite dogs. Second, think of how many things you've taken from a junk food machine. Yeah, there's a parallel in here somewhere, and it's super spooky, but I'm tired and you're going to have to make the connection yourself. In this episode, Olivia's I-drops (iDrops?) have gotten mixed up with some other substances, and, well, if you thought added chaos might cancel out existing chaos....nope. It just piles on. You've been listening to: Eric Perry as Dr. von Haber Zetzer and Joe Shannon Perry as Olivia and...

episode eighty-two: Keep your knickers out of the biscuit tin
Oz 9
Our crew land on a strange planet ... and find someone truly strange. BUT: here's your chance to hear a chunk of Dr. Theo's novel as our turnip greens attempt to evade what Joe refers to as "the stupidest way to die we've come up with yet." You've been listening to: Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Shannon Perry as Madeline Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Tim Sherburn as Colin Eric Perry as Joe Bonnie Brantley as Jessie Kevin Hall as Greg Kyle Jones as Narrator 2 And Chris Nadolny Gourley as your Narrator **Guest starring Ash Hunt as Officer Lowell, courtesy of Oblivity, the brilliant podcast...

episode eighty-one: Hangover remedies and really good sunscreen
Oz 9
Yes, I KNOW we said January, but hey, it's January somewhere, right? The Oz 9 crew are finally (?) done with their plant-based emergency and have broken free of the Milky Way Galaxy. They're currently lurking in a galaxy that (if you're looking at it sideways and are 9 years old) has a vaguely rude shape. That should keep them entertained for a while. Anyway, they might actually get off the 9 and explore a strange new world here soon, so now's probably a good time to say goodbye. Please stay through the end credits to hear a very cool trailer for a very good show. And we haven't gotten any...

Bonus: That slice of Joe Pye-Weed pie
Oz 9
I tell ya, you turn your back for, like, three months, and someone just shoulders their way in there and takes over your ship, your characters... sheeesh. ANYWAY, if you're familiar with A Ninth World Journal or Deconstructive Criticism, you've already enjoyed the work of our own Dr. Theo Bromae, better known as David S. Dear. In this bonus episode, he gives us a glimpse of life behind the curtain. And in front of the toilet door COME ON ALREADY SOME OF US HAD RICE KUDZPIES AT SNACKTIME. Tim Sherburn as Colin Bonnie Brantley as Jessie Shannon Perry as Madeline Kevin Hall as GregDavid S. Dear...

Discussing Oz 9: Hiatus Episode
Oz 9
Welcome to the Audiotorium. It's Discussing Oz 9, with Narrator and Narrator 2, Pluto, and other assorted folks. If you're not familiar with the Discussing Network and their stable of shows, Discussing Who, Discussing Trek, and Discussing Comics, you really could be listening to that instead of this. ( But in the style of Discussing Stuff, it's a review of Oz 9's season 4, so if you haven't listened to all of season 4, well, spoilers, sweetie. This episode was written by Kyle Jones and features ... Chris Nadolny Gourley as your Narrator Kyle Jones as Narrator 2 (and far-too-briefly...

Hiatus: Enough with the toad orgy, Two
Oz 9
If you struggled through the classically complex and layered story of the last four seasons, you're not alone. It was, as Mrs Sheffield has it, "more twisty-turny than my graduate teaching assistant's insides after my AP Honours' Intestinal Inversion lecture and practicuum." So Dr. Charles Tucket, who you may remember from another hiatus episode, The Oz 8000 Biosphere: Portrait of a Refuge, has been unthawed once again to provide some much-needed and hopefully not teeth-grittingly dull exposition and explanation. Good luck. Take notes. You've been listening to: Kyle Jones as the...
