Gated Galaxies

Oz 9

Fiction EN ↓ 163 episodes

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 spac...

Episodes

Bonus: Bayonets and electrodes 31.03.2019

What happens when a homicidal, two-headed robot gets shoved into an empty (empty??) storage bay without arms or hope of release? Good question. Listen in and find out.  As always, huge thanks to all our Patrons! You're listening to: Eric Perry as Head One Tim Sherburn as Head Two Richard Nadolny as you Narrator Our theme music and other music was composed and performed by John Faley. Oz 9 is writt...

episode twelve: A bucket full of mime 24.03.2019

A pod has popped open, and something is roaming loose aboard the Oz 9. Something silent.... but ... deadly? Jessie, Captain of the neighboring Oz 6748, may have good reason to fear for her life,  AND Olivia explains the MRDR protocol, which is just as bad as it sounds. Not sure if you knew this yet, but Gated Galaxies is kind of crap. You've been listening to: Tim Sherburn as Colin Eric Perry as J...

episode eleven: She might do some lasting pickles 10.03.2019

It's Day Two And we're as startled as you are that anyone's still alive. Day two on the Oz 9 sees the crew celebrating fewer fatalities (sorry, Matt) at least on board (sorry, Sweden) and making a critical discovery about cheese. But the two-headed repairbot is awake again and wreaking some havoc, Madeline needs to warn Jessie about her crew, and apparently, if someone invites you to go on an adve...

episode ten: Fixing the ejaculax 24.02.2019

Will Madeline and Joe be able to fix the copulatron and attach it to the forniculator before they realize neither of these things actually exists? Is Leet doomed to spend most of his journey inside a healer pod? Are there any sensible podcasts looking for a reliable, experienced narrator? And no, I'm not "asking for a friend." You've been listening to Episode 10 of Oz 9, Fixing the Ejaculax.  Feat...

episode nine: Mind the gap 11.02.2019

In which: Colin makes a sausage-scented discovery, Rock and Donna talk murder, we learn about automatic chopsticks, and Olivia confesses that she might not be … all there. You’re listening to: Tim Sherburn as Colin Eric Perry as Joe Richard Cowen as Leet Shannon Perry as Olivia Bonnie Brantley as woman’s voice and Donna John Faley as man’s voice Steven Crider as Rock and Richard Nadolny as your Na...

episode eight: Things that go stupid in the night 30.01.2019

In which It's "night" on the Oz 9, and the crew is literally and figuratively stumbling around in the dark. Back on earth a cub reporter and a private dick are hot on Mr. Southers' heels, asking the sorts of questions that might get them an invitation to sleep with the fishes. You're listening to: Eric Perry as Joe, Mr. Southers and Dr. Van Haber Zetzer Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and Donna Richard...

episode seven: The biggest bunch of mindless wankers 13.01.2019

In which Leet is accosted by someone (or thing) and bunged into airlock 7, Olivia gets tetchy about Leet's imminent demise, There's an enormous amount of bickering, and We discover the limits of that whole "two heads better than one" nonsense. You've been listening to: Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and the Recruiter Eric Perry as Joe and Head 1 Tim Sherburn as Colin and Head 2 and Richard Cowen as Lee...

episode six: Dark and starting to collect liquid 07.01.2019

In which Leet reveals a certain fascination with some heavenly orbs... More pods go squelchy... We discover how the crews of the Oz fleet were assembled, and ... The narrator reveals a Very Big Secret. You're listening to: Richard Cowen as Leet Bonnie Brantley as Jessie and the Interviewer Tim Sherburn as Colin and Dick Eric Perry as Joe and Dr. Frederich von Haber-Zetzer Shannon Perry as Madeline...

episode five: There's a zombie in the corridor 23.12.2018

Heave a sigh of relief: Leet’s symmetry has been restored. Might suggest you breathe through your mouth, though, as there’s a rapidly decomposing dead person in the corridor. Messing up Joe’s clean floors. Seriously, zombies are why we can’t have nice things. Not clear on the Cumberbatch/penguin reference?  https://youtu.be/9GHPNKUMf70?t=200 You've been listening to: Richard Cowen as Leet Bonnie B...

episode four: Space is great for sulking 13.12.2018

Hey, speaking from the future here, but Oz 9 has a comic book! https://oz9podcast.etsy.com Right. As you were. Episode four in which Olivia gasses the crew, Leet's symmetry is imperiled, and the janitor and the AI debate the relative value of the tooth fairy. Starring Richard Cowen as Leet Bonnie Brantley as Jessie Tim Sherburn as Colin Shannon Perry as Madeline and Olivia Eric Perry as Joe and Ri...

episode three: Great heaving chesticles 04.12.2018

Have you ever thrown the last of your milkshake out the car window, only to have it splat on the windshield of the car behind you? OK, imagine doing that with liquified human remains, in space, where there are no windshield wipers. Or gas stations with handy squeegee things. What happens next? You might get a really irritated comms call from the next ship in line, who are, incidentally, also about...

episode two: I had a cake all to meself 24.11.2018

Still smoking from the launch pad, our band of space explorers can't quite get a grip on this whole "survival" idea. So I wouldn't get too attached to them.  Oz 9 is a proud member of the Fable & Folly network! Please support our partners here: https://fableandfolly.com/partners/.

episode one: What the f&#* is that smell?? 18.11.2018

HEY! HI! If you enjoyed this episode (and yes, I know, you probably haven't heard it yet, hush), you'll be thrilled to know it's also a COMIC BOOK. Which you can BUY! https://oz9podcast.etsy.com On an otherwise unexceptional Tuesday in 2142*, Gated Galaxies fired off 400 of its Oz 8000™ ships, each with 50,000 “resting guests” tucked into stasis pods, plus a skeleton crew of up to half-a-dozen tot...
