Oz 9

It's Spring 2142 (a Tuesday), and Gated Galaxies has launched its 400 Oz-8000 ships, each carrying 50,000 "resting guests" to, hopefully, a new home on a shiny, brand-new planet. Except this whole "terraform and take over" idea isn't actually the plan; the real plan is far more nefarious and involves a great deal of cackling. But those aboard the ships don't know that, so off they toodle (those that make it out of Earth's atmosphere, at least), all shiny and optimistic. This is the story of one of those ships – the Oz 9 – and its tiny crew of hopeless incompetents. So far, they've been in space half an hour and several hundred people are dead. So... bright future, clearly.

episode one hundred & one: "Crap" indeed. Meanwhile...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Do you have ANY IDEA the literally dozens of hours you've wasted with this bunch of smooth-shelled walnuts? (and yes, that's a reference to their brains, I just couldn't quite make it work the way I wanted). I mean, it's probably not enough time to cure cancer or invent a really good cable organizing system, but you could have latch hooked a really nice rug by now, or made a portrait of Elvis with little rolled up gum wrappers, AT LEAST.
You know what? Forget it. Do want you want. I'm done. Seriously.

episode one hundred: Suitless, helmetless, and utterly baffled

episode one hundred: Suitless, helmetless, and utterly baffled
Well, ain't this a kick in the underpants? No one would have believed, on that random Tuesday in 2142, that the Oz 9 would still be kicking (mumble) months later. And yet, as we stare down the barrel of our 100th full episode, well, here we still are, just to the left of Uranus, clueless and shivering in the dark.
But isn't that just the human condition, basically? I mean... if we're going to philosophize....
Oh, let's not. Pour yourself something naughty and well-deserved, prepare tissue for the inevitable nosebleed, and roll the episode. Happy 100, Space Monkeys — so glad to have you still on board. And to have a board for you to be on. You know what I mean.

episode ninety-seven: Well, this is unexpected
So, a few things to discuss here. Basically, don't do ANYTHING you hear in this episode. So, I guess there's really only one thing to discuss. Never mind.
Some warnings: sounds of person drowning. Some painful but non-lethal punching.
There are no credits on this episode, so I'mma do them here.

Oz 9's theme music is composed and performed by John Faley; Lucas Elliott creates our artwork. Sarah Golding is our dialogue editor.

The trailer you hear is from World Gone Wrong. I've listened to the first ep, and yeah, this is a good 'un. Get in there early so you can be smug about it later.

Malik: Michael Turrentine

Jamie: Hilary Williams


The trailer was written by Eleanor Hyde, directed and edited by Jeffrey Nils Gardner. The theme song is "Falling in Love at the End of the World" by Olivia and the Lovers. From Audacious Machine Creative. Find out more here: https://www.audaciousmachinecreative.com/world-gone-wrong.
