Adventures in Odyssey's rich
history captured in print
The
Odyssey Times is the main newspaper in the town of Odyssey, with long-time editor
Dale Jacobs' involvement with the newspaper's success. Throughout
Adventures in Odyssey,
John Avery Whittaker writes articles for the newspaper (some opinion
articles as well) and consistently gives Dale Jacobs the "exclusive"
whenever there is big news in town.
The Focus Story
In the 1990's, Focus on the Family produced
its own print version of The Odyssey Times newspaper for fans of Adventures in Odyssey to read
(Issues 1-6). It was "Always Free" and contained
special tie-in stories to the audio series, product promotion, classified
ads, and a fun experience for avid fans. It contained references to events
and situations which were happening on Adventures in Odyssey at the
time. The Odyssey Times is now out
of print and considered a rare collector's item. Editions of The Odyssey
Times are currently on display at the Focus on the Family Visitor
Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Online editions of The Odyssey
Times were made available when Adventures in Odyssey's official
site launched in 2000 (Editions 7-12). Editions were released periodically
for a couple years.
The Scoop Story
Now, we've brought them all to one place for
you. We want you to be able to rekindle and experience the memories that
many earlier AIO fans have shared. Although Odyssey continues for newer
generations of listeners, the archive of Odyssey's early days haven't been forgotten. We've
chronicled a majority of editions
of the newspaper here, with each article word-for-word and in PDF form. We have not
featured every edition of the newspaper quite yet (we are currently missing
Issues 1 and 2), so if you have copies of editions we do not have, feel free
to photograph them (high-res images preferred) and
send them to us. We'd love to share
them with the online community!
