Official Podcast #48
The Official Podcast has released
its 48th episode. It contains a bundle
of special features, such as an
interview with Sage Bolte, voice of
Robyn Jacobs in the early days. You will
certainly want to hear about her
adventure in Odyssey. Not only that,
you'll hear a funny story in Jonathan
Crowe's life that turned out to be true!
Don't miss the latest podcast where
we'll always learn something from our
friends at AIO.

Unofficial Podcast #46
Yesterday,
the
Unofficial Adventures in Odyssey Podcast
released episode #46. This episode goes
into a little of everything. They
announce their contest winner, update us
on some Odyssey news, and read the fans'
letters. If you've been tuning into
these special shows, you won't want to
miss their latest installment.
Flash
from the Past: Also, if you've been
around the AIO online community for more
than four years, you may remember the
very first audio "podcast" for
Adventures in Odyssey. It didn't
claim to be a podcast since the term "podcast"
wasn't popular yet, but it was a nice
radio show run by two avid Odyssey fans.
It was titled, appropriately enough, Odyssey Radio. The show died out
after about a year and was later started
up for a short time as OdysseyTalk.
Just some in-the-know things for you
long-time online visitors who may have
forgotten about what fans did in the
past! I have the original logo for it,
but I just can't seem to find it in my
backup. For now, we can latch onto the
Unofficial Podcast!

New Episodes?
It
seems like the news is just pouring in
regarding our favorite radio show! I'm
sure you're wondering how you're going
to survive with no new episodes until
Fall 2009. Wait with style! Focus on the
Family has cooked up a new special
release of AIO episodes to be included
in a collection called
The Truth Chronicles. This
collection does not fit within the
chronological series or even have the
typical feel of episodes. Instead,
morals are going to be presented more
overtly than we're used to hearing.
Album 51 is planned for a release in
Fall 2009, but rest assured, this
collection is not Album 51. To learn
more, visit
this link for a product summary,
product closeups, and notes.

Adventures in Odyssey Birthday Bash
In
less than a month, fans from across the
country will be joining in one accord
with the AIO team to celebrate 20 years
of Adventures in Odyssey. On August 16th, a special live
recording will commence at two different
times of the day, and other festivities
will allow fans to ring in the next 20
years of the show. Here is a special
preview of the AIO promotional flyer for
this event. Just give it a good click
and you'll see a high-res image of it.
And I do mean high-res. Feel free to
print out this flyer (I've provided it
in high resolution for that very reason)
and post it in your church or wherever
else you can legally post it. This image
is very high-res (over three megabytes
of resolution in fact!) It's
certainly going to be an exciting
celebration! Mark those calendars!

The Unofficial AIO Podcast
I'm sure
many of you have become faithful
listeners of the ever-growing
Unofficial Adventures in Odyssey Podcast.
They recently just released some
exciting interviews with
Katie
Leigh,
Marshal Younger, and others. It's
interesting to point out that the
podcast has been gaining popularity over
the past year. Not only that, the
Unofficial Podcast just released their
new logo to the internet community. Yes,
they have moved up in the world and
their logo looks great! I count it a
great blessing to be able to design the
logos for these wonderful people. So as
you try to survive this long hiatus from
new episodes of Adventures in Odyssey,
you may want to tune in every now and
then for a more unofficial adventure in
Odyssey.

Taking Care of Business
As
of late, I've been taking care of some maintenance things here
at the Scoop. You'll notice that the website now features a new
navigation bar, which doesn't look that far off from the
original that was used from 2002-2008, but it has a surprisingly
timeless feel. Since we used the old navigation bar for about
six years, it was a needed and welcomed change.
Also, thanks to a nice suggestion
from Austin, I also brought back the site's search feature
located at the top of the homepage. Eventually one day, the
search will appear on all pages of the site. Until then, it's
back.

Daily Updates Revisited
It's been a long time since we've
done this at the Odyssey Scoop, but I think it's time to get the
ball rolling again. Welcome back to what became a visitor's
favorite feature of the site: daily updates. With this feature,
I'd like to keep everyone informed on Scoop happenings, Adventures in Odyssey news, and more.
So pull up a chair at the Odyssey
Scoop from day to day to rekindle what used to happen here at
the Scoop. As always, if you're a newer visitor, this will be
something you won't want to miss.
