Just how dedicated
are Adventures in Odyssey fans these
days? You may be a little surprised.
Who drives over a thousand
miles to Colorado for spring break because of
Focus on the Family? Taylor University's
Adventures in Odyssey Club (AIOC), that's
who! On today's Christian college campuses, it
isn't hard to find people who grew up listening
to
Adventures in Odyssey. Many of us, however,
have continued listening to and loving the show
even as we've moved beyond the target age range.
The AIOC had its inaugural meeting in September
of 2009, and since then has grown—both in
numbers and in friendship. Once a week during
the school year, these die-hard
fans-turned-best-friends hang out, listen to
Odyssey episodes, drink Wod Fam Choc Sods on
special occasions, and, sometimes, make movies
(available on their YouTube
channel. They filmed two Odyssey
re-enactment videos last year, one of which was
entered into the Act Like Odyssey contest. This
year, their major video project was an epic one:
Star Trip! They spent hours practicing
lines, building sets, filming in several
locations, and trying not to laugh when the red
light was on.
We're beginning to wonder
if we're going to see any entries for our
FreezeFrame contest here at the Scoop. We

your chances of winning are very high at this
point. There's no doubt in my mind that some of
you are still preparing to start on your photos.

With a season of Adventures in
Odyssey behind us, today we're proud to present our
review
of the 12-part mystery series:
The Green Ring Conspiracy.
Thanks to our reviewer Ben Warren:
By
Adventures in Odyssey standards,
The Green Ring Conspiracy
is a taut, engaging, and refreshingly complex audio dramatization. The story
drops us in a world that is always spiraling out of control; a world with
seemingly more questions than answers; one in which the more answers given,
the less we, and its characters, seem to know...
