"The hiatus ate us!" That line, courtesy of the brilliant Bonnie Brantley, is all too true. 

We started our hiatus with great plans to do all kinds of fun Oz 9-y things in all that copious free time, only to have our ideas evaporate in the harsh light of real life.

Sorry. But here's some of us talking about stuff. Does that help?

Our theme and other music is composed and performed by John Faley. Our artwork is by Lucas Elliott.

This one is a beast. Go to the bathroom, get some water, maybe load up on some snacks. Is your listening device charged? 

Get comfy. We have a lot to tell.

You've been awesome! No, really. I'd love to be able to reward your patience, but instead I just have an episode. I know it's not much, but I made it myself. 

One more episode to close out the season: are you ready?

No. You're not. Sorry, but you are SO not ready.

With just three episodes left in the season, is that a cliff I see ahead? With a small branch protruding from its face, just right for hanging?

Things are moving along at a rapid pace, much like the Oz 9 isn't, and there are surprises, tears, laughter, warming of hearts, girding of loins, rending of garments, and possibly smoochies ahead.

Oh, and you're gonna want to stick through the credits this time. YES, WE DID THAT THING WHERE WE PUT SOMETHING IMPORTANT AFTER THE CREDITS, WOULD IT KILL YOU TO LISTEN TO THEM ONCE IN A WHILE?

Sheesh.

This episode begins with a funeral, so you might want to have tissues handy.

The production assistant was supposed to get hypo-allergenic flowers for the ceremony but managed to find hyper-allergenic ones, which not only make you sneeze, they cram themselves up your nose until you beg for mercy. 

The PA has been fwipped, so if you have even remotely appropriate experience, we're hiring.

We did a comic book! You'll hear us talking about the Kickstarter here, which is well and truly over, thanks for asking. Now just buy one and get them out of my garage? (https://oz9podcast.etsy.com)

Here's a surprise: Jessie doesn't like comics. She says they're too colourful and she's never read one. I would have recommended she read them when she's not in a bad mood, but maybe that's what she's already doing?

Anyway, you know the drill. You've been listening to these people. Gourd knows why.

Our artwork (which is also in the comic book, just sayin') is by Lucas Elliott; our music is composed and performed by John Faley, except the MCCACEC fight song, which was composed and ... lyricized? lyricked? by Sarah Golding. Oz 9 is written and produced by Shannon Perry.

A rift in time and space causes 4 members of the Oz 9 crew to get pulled off the space ship (bringing the median IQ up significantly) and swapped with 4 members of the EMF (aaaaaaaaaaand we're back to where we were, IQ-wise).

This is part two of a special two-part crossover with the hilarious secret agent comedy, Mission: Rejected. If you haven't heard part one yet, stop, put us on pause, go out, listen to part 1 on the Mission: Rejected feed (https://missionrejected.simplecast.com/), come back, take us off pause, because from this moment forward....

I'd say "spoilers," but let's face it... it's mostly nonsense.

OK, OK, yes, it's late AGAIN. We know. We've been having a really rough time lately, the kids are sick, the roof caved in when we had that thunderstorm last week, and then there was that other thing....

No, you're right. None of that is true. Our alarm is a bored dude just saying "alarm alarm alarm" over and over, so clearly this is not a well-financed, slick-and-professional thing we've got going here. 

Throw some money at our Patreon or Kofi (optimistically posting the links below), and maybe we can talk about maintaining a schedule. It won't happen, but we can talk.

Our next episode is extra special, and we're super excited to bring it to you. Plus, someone else is doing the production, so it'll probably be on time!

Until then, Space Monkeys!

All the backstory you never wanted and then some. We find out some stuff about Le Bichon Frise, some other stuff about Donna, blah blah blah. Greg falls over at one point, so that's pretty funny. 

I'd say "sorry it's so late," but I feel like I ought to be sorry before I say sorry. So.... It's late.

The universe may be crashing around your ears, but as long as you know the difference between who and whom and how to scoop up a dangling participle, you'll be all right. It's kind of like knowing where your towel is.

In this very special episode, a guest pops onto the ship and into Leet's arms, and for a few moments at least, all seems right with the world.

A very few moments. And not really "right" so much as "slightly less wrong."

Many thanks to our very special guest, Mignon Fogarty, educator, author, speaker, and host of the brilliant, award-winning Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips to Better Writing podcast!
