We're just a few days away from the beginning of
a new season of Adventures in Odyssey.
I'm sure many of you have already seen some new
art illustrations floating around, but for those
of you who haven't seen them yet, here they are.
The AIO Repack Schedule is still underway, and
albums 1
and 5
have been refreshed and improved with a better
look. The original cover illustrations for these
albums needed a little extra oomph to
look more appealing.
The Adventure Beginshas been tweaked
and restored with more vivid details and
lighting. Daring
Deeds, Sinister Schemes has been given a
completely new illustration altogether, a
much-needed facelift to the cover I've been
wanting to see for a while.
Also today, I've gone ahead and released all the
episode summaries, production info, theme, etc.
regarding the upcoming season of AIO shows on
our 2010
episode listing. It's now complete and
up-to-date.
Get
ready to for part four of our interview in the
12th edition of The
Odyssey ScoopCast:
Join Odyssey sound designers Nathan Jones and
Christopher Diehl in Part 4 of the ScoopCast's

quickly approach the beginning of a whole new
season of Adventures in Odyssey in four
days, I hold a copy of Album 52,
Cause & Effect, in my hands.
After hearing all twelve upcoming episodes, I
can honestly give a big thumbs up to the Odyssey
team for really giving it their best effort. I
enjoyed it immensely, especially the mystery
episodes. Fans, I think you're going to notice a
big improvement between Albums 51 and 52. Hold
on tight! It all starts this weekend.
Oh, I must say that actor Andre Stojka, voice of
Whit, is a very talented actor. You'll get a
nice taste of the types of roles Andre can take
on as an actor in the upcoming album. I find it
amusing. For now, enjoy the
ScoopCast.

Passages fans, the book series moves
forward with its stunning new look. The fourth
book in the Passages series, Glennall's
Betrayal, will be making its way into
bookstores and online in November 2010:
In
Depression-era Odyssey, James Curtis runs away
from home and joins a mysterious group of
gypsies. Along the way, he is kidnapped and sold
into slavery, where he meets a young man named
Glennall. Together, James and Glennall journey
to the capital in Marus and discover that there
is a higher purpose to the random events of
their lives. Based on the biblical story of
Joseph, Glennall's Betrayal models for the
reader what it means to trust God in every
circumstance and to forgive those who have
wronged us. Any fan of Tolkien will appreciate
this fantasy story, and with a new cover and
interior graphics, it’s better than ever!
