Oz 9

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.

Have you ever wondered about HOW the Oz ships were retrofitted for long space journeys? Us too. 

We still do.

Hey, stay till the end to hear the trailer for the glorious podcast Mockery Manor. HIGHLY recommended!

The original title of this episode bugged me, so I changed it. I can do that. If you're worried the power might go to my head, well, just wait until you see your birth certificate.

This episode is a flashback in which random, weird stuff happens, just in case you were wondering if 2021 and 2022 were the weirdest history gets.

You thought your job was hard, imagine being Narrator (or Narrator 2, really) for this boatload of Twinkies. (Which, incidentally have still not shown any signs of decomposition in 2142, just sayin'.)

If our Narrator makes it through his contract without developing a neurosis (or cirrhosis), well, it's not our fault.

Avocado yogurt.... avocado yogurt....

Stay tuned through the end to hear the MCCACEC Fight Song by the amazing Sarah Golding!

NOTE: Listen to the end for awesome trailers!

It's true many people complain that Oz 9 is not only NOT educational, it may in fact "leach information out of your brain as you listen." (thanks, mom — real nice)

We beg to differ. Did you know zebras were once called "hippotigruses" (hippotigri? whatever)? Think of how much you've learned about plants and space and maths and fugu and Sweden!

Anyway, if we're making you dumber, I think you know exactly what Olivia would have to say to that. Because that's ANOTHER THING YOU LEARNED.

LOOK. I never said it would be the MORNING of September 19, I just said it would be ON September 19, so I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.

It's episode 61, and incredibly, it seems our crew might have actually lost some brain cells over the hiatus. I swear, if there's a skull and crossbones on it, this crew wants to eat it, marry it, or at least put it in the garage next to something flammable.

Written by Lee Shackleford of the awesome sci-fi audio drama Relativity, this bonus episode exposes you to yet more of Oz 9 that you were hoping to avoid.

Is it possible an advanced alien species is coming aboard the ship? Well, yeah, I mean — they're in space. But, are they friendly? This is the Oz 9. What are the chances?

HUGE thanks to Lee, who wrote AND produced this episode despite all our mostly unintentional efforts to thwart him. BTW, Lee is an amazing voice and stage actor, writer, and human being, so if you want to get in contact, find him at shacklefordfreelance.com.

We'd like to dedicate this second hiatus episode to our one fan in Zambia.

To date, according to our stats, there have been 86 downloads in Zambia. We figure that's one fan who listened to every episode, including all the hiatus and bonus stuff, and to him, her, or them, we say a profound "thank you!"

And the same "thank you" to everyone who listens. We know there's more important stuff you can be doing, like thinning out your spatula collection or arranging your vegetable garden in descending order, but you chose to spend it with us. That means a lot.

All the very best, space monkeys.

From yer ever-lovin', Crew

"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?
