Oblivity
Comedy sci-fi | Start with 'Prologue: Itch' Commander Falconer is missing the war... Following years in front line combat, a decorated hero is posted to the remote ice plains of Pluto on her toughest mission yet: to oversee a small, dysfunctional research team. Oblivity is a comedy science fiction audiodrama about family, isolation and meteorites. “Oblivity is a fiercely good show. The cast are all top notch, the scripts crackle with absurdity, humor and action and the show has a unique energy that's just deeply, profoundly likable.” - The Full Lid newsletter.

Presenting OZ 9 - featuring Officer Lowell
Presenting Oz 9, a sci-fi comedy podcast. Recently, Oblivity enjoyed a cameo in Oz 9 in the form of Officer Lowell. Listen to the episode here! If you're not listening to Oz 9, you're missing out on a wild and very unsafe ride. It's stuffed full of brilliant writing, excellent characters and more jokes and ideas than is quite frankly fair. About Oz 9 'On a random Tuesday in 2142, 400 Oz ships, each carrying a cargo of 50,000 sleeping rich people, were launched from Earth by a corporation called Gated Galaxies. On a mission to seek out, terraform, and probably rudely exploit any planet they stumble upon, the Oz ships were a great way to get rid of not only some very rich idiots, but also their crews of petty thieves and thugs. This is the story of one such ship, the Oz 9, where the pods have already started going dark.' The featured episode is 82: Keep your knickers out of the biscuit tin, Learn more at and subscribe to the show in all the usual places!

Bonus: Amelia Bell's Last Hurrah
A bonus episode before Season Two lands on Wednesday 16 November! When we last left aviatrix Amelia Bell (Justine Malone) in season one’s Revolutions in the Air, she was about to embark on a solo space flight, circumnavigating the ‘Sys. (That’s ‘solar system, for the uninitiated.) Christy had decided not to join her after all - but did give her the psychomimicellum plant to which she is psychically linked. In Amelia Bell’s Last Hurrah, we follow the plucky pilot on her long, lonely journey. Just a little time in the stasis chamber won’t do any harm… Will it?
