Lies, there is no 59a 59b just 59 and 60, the people who are on facebook don't know everything

That's what I thought (as I got an email from Dave Arnold saying the opposite), but since that comment was from the AIO fb page, I thought that maybe there was a change or something.

I seriously love this idea. I've been dying recently with all these long breaks between albums and think it's a great idea. Hearing Odyssey is in financial trouble makes me a bit guilty for not subscribing to AIO Club (not the wealthiest person ever). I would definitely subscribe if they offered like a tiny bit cheaper year subscription plan, or just took out Club House subscription and lowered the price a bit. It would only end up being like $160 a year which is a little better. They should also make the AIO Club app available of Samsung as well, I mean what's with that!? Anyways excited for the new album, even if I don't love Penny and Wotoon together.

Is OAC available in Canada? Last time I tried it wasn't but I haven't tried recently. I would love to support AIO but if OAC is not available in Canada then I can't.

If AIO is making half albums such as 59a and 59b I would rather that than 59 and 60 as separate albums with only 6 episodes.
To AIO: Please make an a and b rather than 2 separate ones. I want you to keep the traditional 12 episodes. The 12 (or more) episodes is what makes AIO albums what they are.

No OAC in Canada yet, and it is definitely being 59 and 60 there are no A and B albums

Another thing that will make non-OACers upset is the fact that 59 will be in the OAC 4 months before it airs on the radio.

[ArnoldtheRubberDucky]

Ooh, that could be the straw that breaks the camel's back for me. I am no longer upset about OAC, I think it was probably a very smart move on the AIO team's part that's already paying off. However, I, like fodo, wished that they took off the Clubhouse subscription that I don't really want and lowered the price just a tad bit. Perhaps they could have different "packages" for the club with different features and thus different prices.

A website called the AIO Update has announced that album 59 will be released in May(2015) for OAC members, and air on the radio n July(also in 2015)! Then... album 60 will be released later in the year! Yes! I like this idea a lot more than waiting an entire year for only 6 episodes!

[Bren]

That is not completely accurate. It doesn't air on the radio till the fall.

[The Old Judge]

Well, Bren, will both albums still be released in 2015?

[Bren]

Well, that's what the people over at AIO Update think but it should be interesting to see how they work it in after 59 if that's the case.

[fodo14]

I wish they would just put out album 59 around the spring and then 60 around fall or winter.

[Mr. Yorp]

This is silly to split the album. Does FotF think that people are stupid or are people just plain stupid? I almost wish AiO had had financial trouble before starting past album 50, if this is all the better they can do. About the only person I like is Buck (and how many homeschoolers listen to AiO and they couldn't have him homeschooled?! just say'n) Is this "album" going to cost as much as a full album? I doubt it, but who knows? All because of the AiO club I'm sure. *Sigh*

Are Wooton and Penny making sure to follow God's will for "their" lives? That is very important.

No it isn't going to, thankfully. One of the reasons that they're doing a short album is that they can package it cheaper (not in a fancy hard plastic case, more like what a Lamplighter Theatre story comes in), therefore making the price less.

[ArnoldtheRubberDucky]

There seems to be so much contradictory information on this topic that I can no longer be sure of how the album will be released. I suppose I'll trust Bren and Reddo.

Are they really going to remove the hard copies? I don't mind paper cases, but I will seriously miss the more sturdy case, but I could care less as long as the AIO team keeps making new episodes for us.

so how will the package be? will it be in a paper slip case, or will it be in a nicer case kinda like those paper folding cd cases?

i want it to be like the folding case because then when i buy the album, i can put it on my book shelf and then you can see the spine and it can be labelled nicely and all that.

[Gooey98]

Although I haven't seen this anywhere, I'm absolutely positive that it will be in the sturdy cardboard cases like BTV Live or Wooton's Whirled History came in. In fact, I think they were testing the 6-episode concept with Wooton's Whirled History to see if it would work. And I think it did.

[Blitz]

I wonder if it will be a bit cheaper than before, and how much it will cost online.
