Product F.A.Q. |
Beginning your journey through Adventures in Odyssey can be a
daunting task. It all depends on whether or not you want to collect
the entire series. We've included a very thorough and helpful guide
for getting started on your journey with our Adventures in
Odyssey Purchasing Guide: Where
to Start with Adventures in Odyssey page. There, we provide tips
on where to start with the series and include other useful
information.
The
Focus on the Family Store offers high-quality audio downloads of every
album and episode.
Visit the Family Store and search by album title or episode title. CDs of
individual episodes are no longer available as downloads have become more
convenient. Or find the episode you're
looking for in our Episodes section and
click on "Purchase mp3." Alternatively, the entire audio series is
available through
Christian Book Distributors,
iTunes and
Amazon. For more download options, please visit our

For years, Adventures in Odyssey albums have included 12
episodes as a standard in each collection, give or take a few albums
which have been revised for episode chronology. In recent years,
production costs for the show have risen. For a couple years, Focus
on the Family released only one album per year and fans became
concerned. With the launch of the
Adventures in Odyssey Club in 2014, the team went back to producing 24 episodes each
year. Twelve episodes are now in production for the numbered audio
series each year, and twelve additional exclusive episodes are
produced for AIOC members. As a result, episode quantity per album
has been reduced so that fans can look forward to the release of two
albums each year, as was done in the past. Albums 1-58 contain
twelve episodes or more, and albums 59+ move forward with a slightly
different package design and six episodes. The Odyssey team still
produces 24 episodes each year, and families can enjoy the benefits
of both numbered and exclusive AIOC episodes via an
Adventures in Odyssey Club membership. Although this may concern some listeners, the
good news is that the
Adventures in Odyssey Club has provided a means to keep Adventures in Odyssey
in production from year to year. That, to us, makes the change
worthwhile.
Adventures in Odyssey albums have never looked the same
throughout the years. By releasing albums again with a fresh design
and new artwork, fans can enjoy a more consistent look to the series
in their collections. Most of these collections have already been
redesigned and are already available since the repackaging project
is nearly complete. Please refer to our detailed
Repack Schedule for more information.
As you may or may not know, albums 1-15 are currently called The Gold Audio Series. They
were put together during a time when everyone was catching
up to the Digital Age and upgrading their products with cool
titles like "digitally remastered." AIO released albums 1-15
as the Gold Audio Series when they phased out cassette releases for the show.
However, now that we've all been drifting through the
Digital Age for a while now, it's time to switch things up
even more. Focus is planning to repack
the Gold Audio Series albums with the typical arches and rays layout that
we've become so familiar with in all the repacks. The illustration will remain
the same, but the arches and layout will be changed to
reflect the packaging for the entire series. It's
all part of an effort to create a more consistent look for the series.
That's right. The Gold
Audio Series is way out the door. It served its purpose
during a time when companies were getting up with the
industry standard. Be watching in the days ahead for
upcoming images of these releases.
Please refer to our detailed Repack
Schedule for more information.
You can find a tentative release schedule for all upcoming
album repacks here, also linked
from our Albums page.
The Adventures in Odyssey logo has changed periodically since the
show began. The Odyssey team refined the existing logo for better
readability and a more vibrant look. The logo on albums 1-50 will remain
and the new logo will be featured on albums 51+ and additional brand
products. Click

Odyssey logo.
Good news! After many years, Focus on the Family decided to release
Family Portraits exclusively as a digital download in 2012.
You can learn more about that release at our
product page. It also contains a
behind the scenes feature you can't hear anywhere else.
As for Officer David Harley episodes,
those episodes are available exclusively to
Adventures in Odyssey Club members as of 2014. Look for The Officer Harley
Collection at AIOC. At the moment, there are no plans to make
this collection available as a digital download purchase. Family
Portraits can be accessed via an
Adventures in Odyssey Club account as well.
