Notes:
This episode was released as a
special
sampler to introduce new listeners to Adventures in
Odyssey. It's interesting to note that
Chris Anthony's
appearance in the town of Odyssey and conversing with the main
characters is a series first. She appeared in earlier episodes
talking with characters that fit only within the show's wrap-arounds...
never Whit, Connie, or Eugene. This episode is merely a special
audio introductory episode and is not intended to fit within the
audio series.

Summary:
Connie loves spending time in Whit's newest invention, the
Inspiration Station. But when a glitch shuts down the machine,
her obsession may go too far. Meanwhile, Eugene traces the
source of the malfunction to Matthew Parker, who apparently has
been "fixing" everyone's electronics, with disastrous results.
This episode picks up right where
The Imagination Station,
Revisited left off and explains what happens with Connie
after she presses the red button.
The Inspiration Station is
the first episode released after an approximate 2-year hiatus.
This episode, and the collections beyond, were created so new
listeners can jump right into the series. Old-time fans can
enjoy these episodes as a continuation of the series as well.

John Avery Whittaker, makes his debut in the chronological audio
series in this episode.
