As a ministry founded for the
support of the family, Focus on the Family began a special
radio drama series in 1987 called "Family
Portraits." The show was successful with its
short-lived, 13-episode fame. It was because of this
mini-series that Adventures in Odyssey became what it
is today. Centered around a grandfatherly inventor named
John Avery Whittaker who owns an ice cream shop for
children, AIO has provided over 600 episodes of solid,
Christian entertainment. Eugene Meltsner, Connie Kendall,
Bernard Walton, Tom Riley, Jason Whittaker, and Jack Allen
are only a few of the characters that bring Odyssey to life.
The program is geared primarily for the 8-12 age bracket,
however, people well into their thirties, forties, and later
years have enjoyed the show for its entertainment and
Christian morals.
Over the years, Adventures in Odyssey has been
blessed by talented writers, actors, and other
behind-the-scenes hands. The audio series is the primary
focus of the brand, even though there have been countless
videos, DVDs, musical albums, books, and even action
figures.
Adventures in Odyssey
can be heard on the radio worldwide. Click

According to John Avery
Whittaker, "You're about to enter a place of wonder,
excitement, and discovery. Welcome to Adventures in
Odyssey!" |
