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.

ICYMI, we're talking about secrets and blood here
Check out The Sprouting!
Olivia frequently just gets bored watching the crew of the Oz 9 tangle themselves up in disasters of their own making, and lately she's been downloading podcasts to listen to. She recently stumbled across The Sprouting, a show about battling plants (wait for it) .... cleverly. And she liked it. Like ... a lot. She doesn't like ANYTHING, so we're all a bit shocked over here.
Please take a listen to the supercut of The Sprouting, then find the show wherever you listen to podcasts!
Dear listener,
Welcome back to The Cradle. Our protagonists meet at a fuel stop... sorry, Gas Station... and come to the realization that travelling onwards as a group is far safer than travelling alone. As they navigate this eldritch plant strewn world, what horrors might they encounter?
I guess you're about to find out.
BIG thank you to:
Karim Kronfli for Roland
Tanja Milojevic for OTI

With the end of Season 5 just .... an indeterminate time but probably about two weeks away, the eternal Tuesday of the spotless (thanks to Joe) 9 is getting darker, scarier, and downright rude.
We hope you'll join us (though in good conscience we can't recommend it) as we spin and flip and spiral out of control toward the last episode of this season. Bring lozenges — there's gonna be a lot of shouting.

Desert Skies
Listen up, Space Monkeys! We did the hard work of vetting a very fun new podcast for you, so now all YOU have to do is listen to it. YOU'RE WELCOME.
It's Desert Skies, a quirky, comedic, and heartfelt sci-fi podcast about life between this world and the next. The story takes place along the road of a lonely highway at a gas station in the afterlife called Desert Skies Astral Plane Fuel and Service Station. The staff at the station help new arrivals in the afterlife get ready to embark on their journey through the celestial spheres. You’ll meet Tendy the Attendant, Mac the Mechanic, and C.A.S.H the sentient cash register, and together they’ll make sure you’re prepared for the ride.
We truly enjoyed listening and are sure you will too. Find the show wherever you get your podcasts, or by clicking this link: https://pod.link/1634726836

Have You Met Madison Yet?
Season: 5
While Oz 9 is on hiatus (or "in hiding for tax purposes"), it's a great time to discover some new podcasts to binge. So if you're looking to adopt your next best friend, we've got you, fam.
Madison On the Air is a "love letter to olde-tyme radio." Madison is a modern-day influencer who gets mysteriously yoiked back in time and shows up in some old time radio episodes. She brings her own modern attitude and utter chaos to the stories, and there's a rich back-catalog of shows you've likely heard of, even if you've never actually heard them.
You may recognize creator, writer, and star Chrisi Talyn Saje — she took over the role of Julie on the Oz 9. But before she was our botanist, she was Madison Standish, cosmetics influencer and time traveler.
Pretty much every episode is stand-alone, so as Chrisi says, if you find a title you like, jump in! The one you'll hear here is Forbidden Planet. Have a listen, then be sure to subscribe!
