episode seventy-five: Mad stories of trampled relatives

Note: This is the final episode narrated by Richard Nadolny. His fabulous daughter Chris Nadolny Gourley takes over the mic in 76. Other note: despite what the credits say, this episode was edited by Sarah Golding and sound designed by Oliver Morris. (Both geniuses; give them lots of gigs and money.) Note 3: The subtitle is just in case he's googling himself. :) We'd say the pace is picking up, but seriously, when you're just going around in circles because half of your engines are blown out, does pace really matter? Also, did YOU know National Geographic has a Narrators' Lounge? Who do you suppose hangs out in there? Freeman and Attenborough, obv; surely Ron Howard drops by now and again, Benedict Cumberbatch probably quit coming by after that whole "peng-wing" incident... Oprah has her own wing... Sorry, got a little distracted there. What were we talking about? Oh hell, I'm sure whatever it was, it wasn't very important.  You've been listening to June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Tim Sherburn as Colin Shannon Perry as Olivia and Madeline Richard Cowen as Leet Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Kevin Hall as Greg and Felonius Eric Perry as Dr von Haber Zetzer and Mr Southers David S Dear as Dr. Theo Bromae Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Aaron Clark as Ben and le Bichon Frise Bonnie Brantley as Jessie Kyle Jones as Narrator 2, and Richard Nadolny as your Narrator Our theme and other music is composed and performed by John Faley.

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.
