Just when I was onto them, they made it public. Radio Theatre is definitely cooking up a new package design and their website has gone through a major design change as well. I personally think it's been long-needed in the Radio Theatre world. Be sure and head over to http://www.radiotheatre.org to check it out.

 

Also a new website from Focus on the Family started a while ago, but I forgot to mention the link. Visit http://www.troubledwith.com. It's geared towards people in the secular world with family issues and other issues of the sort. It's a good way of promoting good morals in the midst of a sinful world. This website may help someone make a wiser choice than they would have, and hopefully they'll find the truth of the Gospel in it.

Earlier this week I said that I would be posting something that many of you have been awaiting for over six months. Well, it's finally time...

After so many months and so much waiting, I am proud and excited to present "The Forum Awards 3" and "The Forum Awards 4." Unlike previous Forum Awards, these two have been specifically judged by the webmaster himself.

 

You may want to check out the newly redesigned Polls & Forums section. Be sure to let me know what you think of the design, and don't forget to check back July 1st for a new poll and forum!

I've got some good news and bad news if you're a Radio Theatre fan. The good news is that there are some new productions coming out later this year. "Father Gilbert Mysteries 2," "The Luke Reports 3," and "At Home in Mitford" will be hitting the bookstores later this year. The bad news is that Tyndale is redesigning all the packages again. Drat. If you're like me, you like to have everything up-to-date. With the new packages you might be feeling as if you will need to purchase all the updated packages. Well, I've decided not to. I personally like the older package designs, not the new ones. Every Radio Theatre production will be redesigned, and the logo was changed too. Change: I hate it.

 

"At Home in Mitford" - (6) - Image

"The Luke Reports 3" (2) - Image

"Father Gilbert Mysteries" (2) - Image

Above are the three new titles appearing later this year. The parentheses after each title is the number of cassettes/CD's included in each package, and if you click on "Image" you can see the coverarts. Also, as seen above, there is a new complete set of all the Narnia productions now available.

 

I'm not really pleased and some of you may not be, but one of the coverarts has me wondering, and I'm sure some of you will be too. Oh well. I guess we'll have to get used to it together. It's only a box, right?

A problem has arisen around the Town Hall message boards, and Jared Walczak has written a letter to inform everyone of the problem. Click here to read his important announcement.

I'm thinking I had many of you on pins and needles after you read yesterday's update. I'm also sure that many of you remember the last Episode-Speak forum we conducted here on the website. The trouble is ... We never posted it!

 

I apologize for not posting the Episode-Speak or the Eugene-Speak Awards which came before it. Stay tuned this week because you'll be seeing both up here on the website! After so long, the awards will finally be given. I might possibly create another forum for everyone's input to go in, but I promise it won't take so long next time.

In "The Last Battle," "Connie" decided to hang out with "Bad Company," but "It's Not Fair" that she made such a "Relatively Annoying" decision. She was like a "Strange Boy in a Strange Land," bound in "Chains" as she tried to find some "Passages" to lead her home. However, her journey was like the game of "Hide and Seek." Winding pathways here and there, not knowing which way was home. Suddenly, "It Began with a Rabbit's Foot." Just as quickly as it stuck out on the path in front of her it disappeared. She needed to make "The Right Choice" as she came to a "Twisting Pathway," another path branching off to the left. She needed to make "The Right Choice," "The Turning Point" of her life before her. She wanted to be "Home, Sweet Home."

 

Please check back tomorrow.

Yesterday in my update I said that I didn't know what album #40 will be titled. Since then two people have e-mailed me and reminded me that Wonderworld revealed the album title. So album #40 will be called... Out of Control. To me, it seems like an odd album name, but who's to question Focus on the Family in how they name albums? Thanks again to the two of you who contacted me about my goof.

I recently learned that the next album in the redesigned collections will be titled "Heroes." Formerly Secrets, Surprises, and Sensational Stories, it will contain all the same episodes with a new cover design. I have not yet learned what the album after Friends, Family, and Countrymen will be called. Why would we want to know anyway?

Today's new episode, Hindsight, is airing across radio stations across the country. Liz gets in the Room of Consequence to experience the results of a single choice... backwards. Now scratch my ears and call me Sparky. That sounds like an interesting episode! If you don't have a radio station near you playing Odyssey, head on over to Oneplace. They'll help you out.

Well, I'm officially starting my summer vacation today! Why not help me celebrate by listening to "Family Vacation" today?! I plan on getting to work on some new stuff, especially a pile of Interviews which need to be posted as of yet. I hope to finish the new Episodes section this summer.

I'm so excited! I only have two days left of school. Today and tomorrow I have finals and then I'm free! I'll be able to continue on some new site stuff as soon as summer arrives.

For several months now, Jared Walczak, the former producer of OdysseyRadio, has been initiating his occupation as mayor to work diligently to settle problems on the Town Hall message boards and to keep the peace among the AIO community. Reelection time is coming up soon and he needs our help! Today Jared has launched a new website for his reelection campaign, and you need to head on over and support this virtuous candidate. Jared has experience -- something the other many candidates on the ballot do not have. A vote for Jared Walczak is a vote for trustworthy experience!

Eugene, how we need you back. It's been a couple of years since Will Ryan, the actor who plays Eugene Meltsner, has appeared on the program. Lately I've really been noticing the absence in Odyssey without our beloved Eugene. How are you feeling about this? Are you a regular listener of Adventures in Odyssey and don't know what's going on with the actor? Then visit this page to find out! I don't think AIO will ever be the same without him if he doesn't return to the show. I've already been noticing that I've lacked interest in the show ever since he disappeared from the program. All who agree please raise your hand.

In just a few short days, school will be ending for me and I'll be able to get to work on the new Episodes section coming up. It's about a fourth finished, but now that summer is almost here I'll be able to get more done faster. I'm so happy that school will be out on June 10th!

Welcome to the month of June! As promised, two new Extra! Extra! articles are now up. I'd like to thank Erin Jackson and Elf of Rivendell for submitting their articles to the website. We've been needing some life added to the Extra! Extra! section for a while.

 

Also today, I'm very proud to reveal a new section over at Misc. I'm calling it Odyssey Wallpaper, and that's exactly what it has. There are now 16 new wallpapers for you to choose from to add life to your desktop if you wish. Be sure to check them out. The Misc section has a revamped look, so try to notice that, too.
