Jay chats with his friend Angelo Thomas about Oz plots on ABC's Once Upon A Time, NBC's upcoming Emerald City, and the possibilities of a sequel to Oz the Great and Powerful and a film version of Wicked. (Note: this was recorded before the date of December 20, 2019 was announced for a Wicked movie.)

Jay and Sam are joined by Garrett Kilgore again to discuss a 70 minute cutdown of an obscure Oz anime series, plus some amusing additional comments on other Oz related entertainments.

To celebrate L. Frank Baum's 160th birthday, the Royal Podcast of Oz

presents a reading of "The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman" from Little Wizard Stories of Oz.

The

Scarecrow and Tin Woodman go boating, but when the Tin Woodman falls

over the side, it's up to the Scarecrow to save him! Miles away from the

Emerald City, what can a straw man with a good brain do?

The cast features Mike Conway, Zach Allen, and Doug Wall.

In this episode, Jay talks to Alexiel De Ravenswood, who recently released a suite retelling The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Hear Alexiel's inspiration for the suite and how it was created.

Jay and Sam dish out about NBC's live TV adaptation of The Wiz, including what they really thought of Mary J. Blige and Hamilton gets referenced again.

As the next episode of The Royal Podcast of Oz is still in editing, here's a rare Oz audio treasure to tide you over. The Wizard of Oz Returns was an original sequel to The Wizard of Oz released in the 1960s. The original set had a record and a foldout game board with instructions, cutout playing pieces and a spinner, thanks to a 2-disc album sleeve. It was also reissued without the game as The Further Adventures of the Wizard of Oz.

For lack of anything else to do during February, Jared and Sam

interview... each other! How did they discover Oz for themselves, what

does "OmniOzologist" mean, and how much does Sam not like Wicked and Frozen?

Jared chats with Karyl Carlson, creator of Karyl's Oz Dolls, frequent attendee of the Oogaboos Rendevous and this year's co-chair of Oz Con International in Portland, Oregon.
