Another
new episode, The Girl in the Sink [#540],
airs on radio stations across the country. I'll be posting a
review on the 'net as soon as possible and catching up on my
previous reviews. When Tamika wonders if angels still help
people, Bernard Walton tells her a story...about Bernard! Be
sure and Listen
at Oneplace if you have not heard it yet.

I'm
off! To Chicago, that is. I'll be visiting my dear sister who is
attending a Christian college there. It should be pretty
interesting and you have nothing to worry about, for, daily
updates will continue and the site resumes without me. Just keep
checking back and it'll seem like I haven't even left. I'll be
back Tuesday. I'll have access to a computer of sorts, so you
know.

Going
off of what I added yesterday, I added a new page for
convenience. It's called Reviews by
Fans and contains a more organized way of getting to the
fans' reviews. Be sure to check it, as well as yesterday's
update, out!

The
'Fan Reviews' section has officially been removed from the
website. It was a long process and decision in the making, but
it had to be done. However, none of the reviews have been lost.
Instead they have been revamped and moved to better locations
throughout the website. If you take a look at the Episodes
section, you'll notice that the following button is prominent:
This
measure, I feel, was long-needed as the site is more organized
now. On each episode slot, there is a new "Fan
Reviews" link which corresponds with the episode. The link
will take you to a page of reviews only on that episode. If you
were a reviewer, don't get upset because now your reviews are
still around and they better suit the needs of the site. I feel
that this will further allow more fan reviewing. For example, if
you take a look at the episode
information for "Called On in Class," you'll see a
link for 'Fan Reviews' (click this
link now) and you'll see a more organized page. I hope you like
it. This is that big secret I was keeping since about a week
ago. You'll also notice that there is a "Review This
Episode" link at the left on this page under the
"Airing Today" box. If you reviewed an episode between
now and a long time ago, your review is up.

Well,
today I got motivated and decided to update the Fan
List with nine names. If you signed it way back when, your
name is now on it. Otherwise, either your name has been on it or
has never been on it. If you haven't signed the Fan List yet,
then why not today? I plan on catching up on a few things later
this week as well. It looks like a wave of motivation has hit
me, meaning more updates!

Remember
how I noticed that there was a little problem with the Fan
List the other day? Well I've gone ahead and fixed it, along
with the "Sign the Fan List" page. If you haven't
signed yet, this is a prime time!

Today's
episode, Called On in Class [#539],
airs on radio stations across the country! Trent
DeWhite has to give his oral report in class...and the mayhem he
imagines is earth-shattering. Head on over to Oneplace
and listen to this week's show! This week's review is already up
as of this morning.

sat down for a very long half hour of mindless rambling,
poorly-planned drama, and incessant imaginings that could
drive one crazy."

I
just noticed that the Fan List has
been up for a while, but has looked ugly for a while.
Apparently, in the loss of files a while back, I lost the
template I created for the Fan List and now it seems to have
disappeared. The background is still purple and everything but
something doesn't look quite right. Oops. I'll try and fix that
as soon as possible, and if your name has not been posted yet,
I've still got it on hold. Grrr... when technology and stupid
mistakes mix...

After
a few months of ignoring faithful updates, AIOinfo
has finally boosted up to the new season. The webmaster has
filled us in on new episodes for the season, changed some stuff,
and made it worth checking out again.
And
by the way, I updated the responses to our current forum.

It's
Monday, it's Presidents Day, and I have no school. I imagine a
lot of people are happy like I am today. Be sure to check back
later this week for some new reviews, and maybe even something
else if I'm feeling up to posting it. I won't mention what it is
as I would like to keep it a surprise. After all, "anything
can happen" on Adventures in Odyssey, and that's
what I would like to instill here.

Guess
what's happening today? Stubborn Streaks [#538]
airs on radio stations across the country! Can
there be anything worse than telling Bernard Walton that his
windows aren't clean? Why is he losing his customers? The answer
may shock even Bernard himself. It's definitely worth taking
the time to listen.
Also
today you may want to check out the Official
Site because it's slowly releasing some redesigns. Today
they've released a new design to the Imagination Station
section.

Remember
the Novacom Saga? I never really remembered it this
way, but somehow... I did. Be sure and see for yourself.
You'll be laughing the whole way through. "The Abbreviated
Novacom Saga" is quite an interesting new shortcut through
the first two episodes of the story arc. Will they go through
the rest?

The
Focus on the Family Radio Theatre wonder continues to add
great works to its collection. Coming soon from the
award-winning series is "Little Women," as well as
"The Luke Reports 4." I have heard the three previous
"Luke Reports" in the series and have been very
pleased with them. It not only helps to put the story of Luke
into a more interesting perspective, it also helps to strengthen
your faith. I am anticipating the release of "Little
Women," and we'll see how that episode plays out. I will
continue to keep you informed about the Radio Theatre
series as it has been a favorite of mine since its beginning in
1995. Hopefully you'll check the dramas out if you haven't
already. The sound design of each title surpasses the
thoroughness of Adventures in Odyssey's quality, by far.
Both are great.

The
Spring Season continues to progress as My Girl Hallie [#537]
airs today around the country. According to the official
summary, "Kids' Radio
presents another episode of "The Twilife Zone!" And
this time it's about a boy named Joey Patrick and his unusual
friendship with...his computer." It looks to be real
interesting. A few months back there was a vote on two possible
endings at the Official Site.
Find out, as you listen to today's show, which ending won!
My
review may appear here later today, so stop in later in the day.

Finally,
the Polls & Forums section is
updated with a new "Forums Weekly," as well as the
responses that have been collecting up have been posted. Be sure
to submit your opinion on the new one.
In
regards to the "Forum Awards" that we held so long
ago, I plan on working on those sometime soon, not for the sake
of getting it done, but for another reason which I will announce
later.

It's
been a while since we've had a healthy checkup on the AIO team
and what's going on behind the scenes. The Official
Site has released an interview with Marshal Younger,
featuring some insider information in regards to future
episodes. According to Marshal, after the Spring Season 2004,
"...there will be a special "Last Chance
Detectives" summer: 12 shows in a row about four young
detectives who solve mysteries in the Arizona desert. The twelve
shows were produced by the Adventures in Odyssey team. The first
four feature Jason Whittaker from Odyssey fame. We're very
excited about the project." I'm looking forward to seeing
what it's about, yet a little worried that it won't go so well.
I'll post more information as it becomes available.

This
exciting news has been brought to my attention. The "New
Series" of AIO videos have finally been repackaged into
more interesting DVD versions. The first four titles in the
series have been DVD-ized, so to speak, and will be available in
February 2004. In case you also didn't already know, the old
series episodes can now be found on DVD as well, however not all
of the DVD's have been released yet.

It's
time to get the ball rolling again. Last month I totally failed
to put up a new Poll for the month. I also failed to update the
"Forums Weekly" feature (located below, at the left).
Tomorrow or Tuesday I should have a new poll ready. Keep
checking in.

Here's
some news you can use. Today be sure to stop by OnePlace if you
