Welcome to a brand-new season of
Adventures in Odyssey reviews. You will be seeing
reviews of the latest season of AIO shows popping up on the
Scoop in the days ahead. Thanks to our review writer, Ben
Warren, our
review of
The Labyrinth
is now available.
There was a time when three-parter episodes were
considered a rare luxury. The very first wasn't until episode 135,
Back to Bethlehem,
which was proceeded much later by
Aloha Oy!,
The Perfect Witness,
The Underground Railroad,
and
The Search for Whit.
What do all of these episodes have in common? For one thing, today they're
certified classics; for another, they take us beyond what we're used to on
Adventures in Odyssey...to other times, and other places...

As
the Adventures in Odyssey team gets ready for their
epic 25-year celebration this year, some details regarding
upcoming products are now available. Take a look at what's
in store during 2012, a big year for Adventures in
Odyssey.
First in the lineup of our news today is the
improved and revised edition of
The Official Guide (2nd edition) which releases
October 2012. The book will contain many of the same amazing
interviews, behind-the-scenes details, and much more.
Fortunately, the book is picking up quite a few new pages
with new content to reflect all the released Odyssey
products since the first edition to the book. In addition,
the book will contain a brand-new 8-page color section with
behind-the-scenes photos in celebration of 25 years. Learn
more about the book
here.
Second, a great companion to youngsters'
quiet time will be introduced October 2012:
90-Day Devotions for Kids. This special devotional
covers thirteen weeks of material and provides helps from an
Odyssey perspective. We will provide more details on this
release as they become available.
And, if that's not exciting enough, a new
audio collection is on the horizon, making its way to fans
this September. A new and exciting collection,
Silver Celebration(cover not necessarily final at
this point), will feature 36 episodes from each year of the
series. This will make a great companion to other special
collections released by Focus on the Family in the past.
You heard it hear first, folks! We're never
through with providing the Scoop on Adventures in Odyssey,
one cone at a time.
For over two decades, fans have
made Adventures in Odyssey a part of their daily routine,
from car trips, to vacations, to bedtime entertainment. One of
the main things that sticks out about the show is that it is―by
far―a show with the
most loyal fans. Whether you grew up with the show, or you're
getting to know the characters right now, you have a story to
tell. And we're excited to share yours with others.

Official Podcast, with some unexpected (and
comical) surprises.

And if you're paying attention, you might
notice that
The Ceiling Fan Podcast'sM'kalister Park
albummade a few cameos. Of course, The Ceiling
Fan is one of the most quality and top-notch podcasts in
existence (but are we biased when we say that?). Regardless,
it's nice to see that they are receiving some comical
exposure. For a show that currently has 44 full podcasts
available and a plethora of extra features along the way,
you can't go wrong. You can listen to their newest episode,
"Should You Choose to Accept It",
here.
As for the
Avery Awards, stay tuned. We'll be posting the
final voting results over at our feature soon.
Congratulations to the winners of the latest edition of
