How long have you been a fan of Adventures in Odyssey?

I have been a fan of AIO for better than twelve years.  I happened upon it while I delivered pizza part time.  (I have to say some of those pies were a few minutes late because of your show.)

 

What is your favorite episode of all time?

This is my second attempt at filling all of this out because this is a difficult question.  It is almost like asking what my favorite Bible verse is, it all depends on my mood and circumstances.  Having said that, I will give a partial answer to the question.  I would say that my favorite episode, most of the time is the three part story "Malachi."  I believe it gets deep into the characters, as there is no greater depth revealed in a person than when they are face to face with the realities of God.  It is when God impacts our life that our true self is revealed.

 

What is your favorite AIO web site?

My favorite AIO site would be Whit's End, especially around the Imagination Station.

 

If you could meet one actor, who would you meet and why? 

I am too much of a groupie, although meeting any of these actors or actresses would be a lot of fun, more than the real person the character I would like to meet would be Jack Allen.  His is a deeper level of personal time with God.  He is humble and a man of great integrity.  He speaks of dreams as Joel 2:28 says, "your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions." My conversion was as a seventy year old seeing visions while Jack is dreaming dreams.

 

Which character do you resemble the most and why?

I guess if I was to be honest here, I would have to say I most resemble Bernard.  He is full of Bible knowledge and can make the Bible come to life in real human terms.  He also has a sense of humor which, in spite of what my wife might say, I have as well.

 

Who is your favorite character and why?

My favorite character is Whit.  I like him the most because of his almost flawless insights into the various situations as well as his very human side as seen in Clara.

 

In your opinion, what do I need to change about my website?

Your website is a very nice place to visit, I don't see any need to change anything.

 

If you could change anything about AIO, what would it be and why? 

I might like to hear an episode that includes a group of the Odyssians going to a Promise Keepers or Women of Faith conference.

 

How do you imagine Whit's End and the town of Odyssey?

It is a quiet and restful place with no idea at all where to put it's borders.  Tom's farm is presented as fairly big, yet it is within the city limits.  (Tom needed the mayoCenter, permission not needed t was going to be in Odyssey.)  I'd love to retire there!

 

If you had your own AIO site, what would you put on it?

I would try to list in Biblical order all the episodes or parts thereof that are Bible stories.  That would help people begin to see the Holy Scriptures come to life.  The same could be done for all of the history episodes in chronological order.

 

What is your favorite section of whitsend.org?

My favorite section of this site depends on my mood and circumstances.

 

What is your favorite section of the Odyssey Scoop, my site? 

I enjoy reading what others have put down for their answers in the interviews.

 

Do you have any comments or questions?

Yours is a great site, I think that you do an exceptional job giving us Odyssians in diaspora a place to go to feel reconnected.
