The End is Nigh


So after five years of college studies, cramming for tests, and getting through graphic design projects galore, I'm finally down to my last project of my undergrad life. I gave my advertising campaign presentation for my fictitious Barista Coffee Company this morning and it went extremely well. Tomorrow I have a presentation, though it's far from stressful like the campaign was. Today I had the pleasure of running into one of the Scoop website visitors, Mike, who I met five years ago at PCC. We've occasionally said hi for the past few years since the campus gets smaller every day. And as these last days approach, it's going to get busy with final exams and convocation activities. But that's okay. I've done it way too many times.

 

When I get home, I'll probably get some things on the site updated that I've been meaning to get updated for a very long time.

Reviews of AIO Live


On Wednesday, the Unofficial Podcast posted their review of Adventures in Odyssey Live! along with a sample video slide show clip. If you're one who likes to know exactly what you're getting before you make purchases, you won't want to miss out on this review as well as the information provided on our product page. Also, yesterday, the Ceiling Fan podcast reviewed the product as well in audio format. Both reviews by the Unofficial Podcast and Ceiling Fan are well worth the time for sure.

 

In other news, Focus on the Family Radio Theatre's Screwtape Letters is expected for an October 2009 release. I'm a huge Radio Theatre fan, as many of you probably are as well. Now, if we can just convince Focus to continue making shows at full force again...

The Official Podcast #67


In the third-ever Adventures in Odyssey video podcast, Bob and Jesse take a tour of what's happening in the Odyssey Team's offices.

 

Today is definitely a day you won't want to miss out on the latest edition of the Official Podcast. In their 67th edition, you'll get to see (yes, see!) the behind-the-scenes team that brings Adventures in Odyssey to life, from Dave Arnold to Paul McCusker to several others. In their third video podcast ever, Bob and Jesse lead you through the halls at Focus on the Family and give us a sneak peek into the new Passages audio drama which is currently in the production stages. You'll even get to hear a sneak peek. We'll also get to hear a little bit about the production of album 51, which begins airing next spring. A lot is going on at Odyssey, even though it may not seem like it. Even Focus on the Family Radio Theatre is picking up some attention, but I'll let you find out for yourself. There's even more to the video podcast I haven't mentioned, so don't miss out on the latest video podcast from Adventures in Odyssey!

The Unofficial Podcast


There's been some speculation on the Town of Odyssey message boards lately regarding the future of John Avery Whittaker and whether or not the actor will be replaced in the coming days. Since there have been no new episodes, fans have been keeping their eyes especially tuned to their browsers to learn all the AIO news they can. While I have no official news to report to you today, you may find this thread interesting over at everyone's favorite message boards. It's all up in the air at this point, but that's part of the fun of interacting with other fans about Adventures in Odyssey. And as Chris would say, "Keep listening." And if you ask me if I know anything about Whit, I'll just tell you the same thing.

The Unofficial Podcast


Not much is happening around the AIO news realm lately. The Unofficial Podcast did release their 54th podcast several days ago, however. This time we get to hear another roundtable discussion between Chris, Catspaw, and Boswell. Listen to them as they talk about Odyssey as only the fans can.

 

As for me, I'm rounding the corner to graduation in less than three weeks. I absolutely can't wait. All that's left on my plate is a direct mail piece to design and an advertising campaign presentation in the coming days. The end is certainly in sight!
