The
cover art for Heroes has finally been
released. It isn't the final version of the album, but the image you see at
the right (click for a larger image) will be as is. According to Focus on
the Family's
resource
page, The kids from Odyssey manage to get themselves into — and out
of — all kinds of interesting predicaments in these audio adventures. Rumor
has it that the new family in town is connected to the Mafia, Odyssey
Elementary School is troubled with bullies and Lucy struggles with telling a
secret she vowed to keep. With a little prodding from Mr. Whitaker, they
learn how God can help them deal with anything.
I'm looking forward to this album's release,
though Out of Control is higher on the
list.

If you're interested in the producers of
Adventures in Odyssey, then be sure to head on over to
paulmccusker.com. It just
opened and contains lots of cool information on one of AIO's first writers.

What do you think of Fred Holstein's
disappearance from Odyssey?
Sunday, October 26, 2003
Yesterday Silver Lining (#530)
aired on radio stations across the country. Be sure to listen at
Oneplace
if you do not have a local station.
Today I updated the
Fan List with four names. If you haven't signed it yet, what's holding
you back?
Friday, October 24, 2003
Today my new Review is available:
The Mailman Cometh
*****
Today's Adventures in Odyssey
adventures are taking a new spin, ignoring what AIO was in the past and
sideswiping accuracy.

I did a little design change to the
Reviews section which I hope you'll like.
Otherwise it'll just be me that likes it.
Also today the
Wallpaper section over at
Misc has been updated with four new
desktop backgrounds. Be sure to check them out. More information is
available on the right column below.

It appears as though AIO is having trouble
choosing an ending for a future episode. That's why they've decided to let
the fans vote on how My Girl Hallie should end. If you go to the
Official Site, you
can read through the episode and proceed to vote on which ending you like
best. I personally haven't voted yet, but will soon. Head on over and help
AIO out.

In regards to the Odyssey Scoop, what would
you suggest we give away as a prize for our next contest?
Sunday, October 19, 2003
Well
I suddenly got motivated the other day and decided to give the Official
Adventures in Odyssey Fan List a new look. Be
sure to head on over to see the fresh design. Seven more names have been
added. The list is getting so long that I'll probably have to alphabetize it
pretty soon here! Also don't forget to check out my new review I posted
yesterday.
Saturday, October 18, 2003
Today The Mailman Cometh (#529)
airs on radio stations across the country! Be sure to listen at
Oneplace
if you do not have a local station.
Also today a new
Review has been posted.
Taming of the Two
*****
"I've
been experiencing a decline in thoughts of negativity this season, and
the episode I just heard invites me to recline and listen again."
Read More...
A few days ago I forgot to mention after the
revamp to the website that I had updated the
DVD's page with 7 new DVD titles. Be
sure to look into it if you're interested.
Friday, October 17, 2003
This week has been extremely hectic for me as
I've been visiting colleges, editing the Scoop files, and trying to get
Software Technology chapters done. I hope to write my review of last week's
episode sometime tonight, and you should be able to see it tomorrow. Keep
your fingers crossed.
Thursday, October 16, 2003
Well, the changes have finally been made that
I mentioned yesterday. Why not do me a favor and take a look around the site
to make sure everything's working properly? If not, by all means,
Contact Us and give us the link of the
page with problems.
Wednesday, October 15, 2003
I've been doing some major file editing and
some major behind-the-scenes changes to the website this week. Because of
this, don't be surprised if you point your browser to this site sometime
this week and see a "This site is temporarily closed" notice. It will
probably be closed for an hour, up to three hours. I need that time to get
things in order for the changes. In my editing I've encountered some
troubles getting my stuff to work, so it's been a rough journey this week.
We'll get the changes implemented soon. At worst, the site would probably be
unavailable for a day... but it'd have to be a major problem if that
happened.
Update: Files and everything else has been
edited. If you missed the downtime... you sure didn't miss anything!

In general,
what do you think of the Fall Season 2003 so far?
Saturday, October 11, 2003
The third episode of the
Fall Season 2003 airs on radio
stations across the country today. Be sure to tune in for The Taming of
the Two [#528].
Bart Rathbone has a proposal for Edwin
Blackgaard...become the voice of the Electric Palace! But Edwin would rather
pull his toenails out than agree to such a thing. Where will Bart turn for
help?

Today my latest
review is now available:
Black Clouds
*****
"Usually
the episodes everyone likes I don't enjoy as much, and the episodes
everyone hates... I like."
Read More...
So far, I'm enjoying the new season of AIO.
How about you?
Thursday, October 9, 2003
Be sure to check back tomorrow for an exciting
review of Black Clouds.
Today I added a bit of news to the News page
in regards to the new AIO DVD singles. I'll try to post more information
about them later on in the Merchandise
section of the website.
Tuesday, October 7, 2003
If an old
Odyssey family suddenly showed up this season, how would you react and why?
Monday, October 6, 2003
I'm surprised at all the
positive responses I've gotten to our new
Extra! Extra! article, "And the Small Bell Jingled." It appears as
though the article has hit home for the fans who've read it. If you haven't
read the new article, be sure to see
what the issue is.
A brand-new
Poll for October has been posted. I hope
to release my review of Black
Clouds later this week. Stay tuned...
Saturday, October 4, 2003
Today I'm proud to present a new article over
at Extra! Extra! With a title as
mysterious and odd as And the Small Bell Jingled, you'll just have to
go see what it's about. I'm sure it'll be a nice treat. I did some minor
revamping to the EE section itself, so check it out.
Also today Black Clouds airs on radio
stations across the country. As the road
trip continues, a raging storm forces Connie to stop at a roadside diner.
Things gets interesting when a young girl comes through the door...just
before lightning strikes!

second episode of the
Fall Season 2003!

As promised,
Reviews has been updated with the
first show of the new season, Seeing Red.
Seeing Red
*****
"...I've
been generally pleased with Glenn Montjoy's work recently, and it sure
is hard to get a new AIO guy on my side."
Read

I enjoyed writing the review for
Seeing Red and I sure
hope I'll have time to post my reviews as each episode comes out. Writing a
review is one of the tasks I dread for the Scoop, but in the end it turns
out being fun.
Wednesday, October 1, 2003
Welcome to the month of October! Today I
archived all of September 2003's
updates. Also today the Schedule for the
new month is update, though incomplete at this moment. I plan on reviewing
Seeing Red today or
possibly tomorrow, so keep your eyes open for any new stuff at the site.
