It's possible someone dies in this episode. I mean, it's possible someone dies in EVERY episode — it's really pretty astonishing when no one does — so you should probably pay attention today so you understand the chatter around the old fishbowl at work tomorrow.

Today's bonus information: a really tightly woven Italian suit can protect against some wimpier weaponry. 

And just like that, another player is removed from the board. One episode left in Season Four, space monkeys. Will anyone survive?

Is anyone else hearing a weird ... flapping sound? And feeling a tiny bit of a breeze? But like, a weirdly hostile breeze that's just coiled up and waiting to turn into a tornado, given even a hint of a reason?

Just me? Huh.

Well, it's episode 78, and if you haven't learned your lesson by now, I can't help you. 

Also, there will be (WAS says voice from future) a live listen-along for season-ending episode 80, so keep your eye on our Twitter (@oz9pocast) and our website (https://oz-9.com) for that one.

Content warning: There are some big emotions in this one, so please take care of you.

We're getting closer to the end of Season 4, and ... well, that's it, really. We're getting closer. Break out the confetti because you get a break from us!

Well, probably. We're kind of like barnacles — we have to be scraped off and then we still leave a sticky residue.

Anyway, lots going on in here, so I'll just leave you to it. Pass the sandwiches. And the tissue....

It's entirely possible this story has spun a wee bit out of control. But then, isn't that a lot like...life?

I mean, take your basic ergonomic keyboard. Don't you want to bash its tiny electronic brains out on a rock, only it was expensive and nominally doing something useful for your hands or wrists or something? While that might be an overreaction, might it also be considered an entirely understandable response to the fact that every time you try to type an exclamation point you get that weird squiggly tilde or whatever that thing is called, and let's face it, for some of us, there's just not that much call for a tilde, as I don't speak a language that requires it, nor do I need to indicate "approximately" that often-

Sorry.

Just ... listen to the thing. Or not. Whatever~ oh for fu-

Note: This is the final episode narrated by Richard Nadolny. His fabulous daughter Chris Nadolny Gourley takes over the mic in 76.

Other note: despite what the credits say, this episode was edited by Sarah Golding and sound designed by Oliver Morris. (Both geniuses; give them lots of gigs and money.)

Note 3: The subtitle is just in case he's googling himself. :)

We'd say the pace is picking up, but seriously, when you're just going around in circles because half of your engines are blown out, does pace really matter?

Also, did YOU know National Geographic has a Narrators' Lounge? Who do you suppose hangs out in there? Freeman and Attenborough, obv; surely Ron Howard drops by now and again, Benedict Cumberbatch probably quit coming by after that whole "peng-wing" incident... Oprah has her own wing...

Sorry, got a little distracted there. What were we talking about? Oh hell, I'm sure whatever it was, it wasn't very important.

It's episode 74, and you know what that means.... DO you know what it means? Could you write it on a note and slip it to us during study hall, because we've got nothing.

Things are just Nutty McNutface with this crew, and everyone's in the dark, literally and figuratively. Who can you trust when everyone's skulky and half the crew went to spy school but apparently no one actually read O Captain You're a Captain?

Our favorite cabbage-heads are once again struggling to survive, and the smart money is on the plants.

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 should be.

Content warning: Richard narrates this episode, so take care of you. This episode is dedicated in his memory. Please consider contributing to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. https://afsp.org/

Massive cahooty thanks to Oliver Morris of Kane and Feels: Daytrippers without whom this episode might never have gotten edited and out. And do stay tuned for a taste of Kane and Feels at the end of the ep — it's delicious!

It's episode 72, and our squad of scrambled eggs are trying desperately to figure out who they can trust and who they can't, and the Gordion knot of it all will probably never be untangled, not that any of this crew have any notion what a Gordion knot is when it's at home. 

Good luck to us all.

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 (you can find all our transcripts with their episodes on https://oz-9.com). Please do whatever it takes for you to care for yourself.

In this episode, you'll hear from many members of the cast, sharing their memories of Richard. You'll also hear a couple of big announcements about Oz 9's future. 

Spoiler: starting Saturday, June 11, the adventure continues. See you 'round the bend, Space Monkeys.
