Oz 9

Gated Galaxies

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.

  1. Bonus

    BONUS: The Garden of Gods' Retirement

    So, turns out our horny —sorry, "horned" — romantic Pluto has siblings. And like all siblings, they're annoying, disruptive, omniscientish, and likely to go darting off through space at something approaching light speed just to show off in front of YOUR girlfriend. Ok, those last two might apply more to Pluto's sibs than yours. Whatever the case, they hog all the ambrosia, snap your privates with a lightning bolt when you least expect it ... yeah, I hear it, that might be more Pluto's sibs than yours too, but you get my point — annoying. And like all siblings, they expect all the plebes to worship the very ground they walk on. Even if that ground was the plebes' to start with. In this fabulous bonus episode penned by our own Pete Barry (we love that guy, even if we want to drown Bob in his own earwax), Pluto of the honey-covered voice and words returns to sweep Donna off on the kind of impromptu vacay that requires super powers and membership in the Valhalla of Fame. But their romantic sojourn is interrupted by Pluto's siblings, and things, rather like this description, unravel from there. You’ve been listening to: Lee Shackleford as Pluto Bonnie Brantley as Donna Chris Klaniecki as Mercury Rebecca Serfass as Diana Dave Stanger as MarsJ. Michael DeAngelis as Neptune Dave Serfass as Vulcan Pete Barry as Jupiter Chris Nadolny Gourley is your Narrator.
