So in case I have any readers left, um, announcement: I'm not dead. So don't send flowers quite yet. I haven't put anything on here in.... idk. Six months? Okay that's pathetic. Just really sad. But here's the thing. I have limited resources when it comes to AIO news. However, you know who does have a fountain of time and AIO news? OdysseyNerds! So, if I'm being completely honest, you should probably be reading her site instead of mine. Now, I still want to post things when I can... focusing on predictions and reviews more than news. And be on the lookout for my Under the Surface reviews! Thanks for sticking around! And Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone! Okay, I realize I've been mentioned on the OdysseyNerd website, (Thanks btw!) so to anyone who has never been here before, welcome! We're happy to have new friends!
On to our regular news stuff. :) The album art for Album 63: Up In the Air has been realized! (Woo hoo!) I will hopefully do a little analysis and prediction thing based on the art and info we have for 63 so far at some point. (I'm in a show and time is suddenly non-existent) You can see the art and everything here: http://www.aiowiki.com/wiki/Album_63:_Up_in_the_Air Wait there's more! The script is out for The Get in the Show Contest so we're all pretty excited about that! You can find all the info and script at Whitsend.org Okay one more thing! A little while ago, I had the wonderful pleasure of interviewing Katie Leigh, the voice of Connie Kendall! You can read that interview in the new Interviews section up there! :) Again, welcome new friends! I'd also like to thank everyone who's stuck around for the year and a half I've been doing this! (Crazy.) As of tonight, I'm on summer break so I will try my hardest to post more regularly! |
Hi, everyone! I'm finally back! So sorry I haven't posted anything New on here in so long! But I thought I'd better come back and so here we are. I have several exciting things to announce. First, this October was the one-year anniversary of www.InsideAio.com! Thank you so much for all of your support! I love seeing your comments and getting to answer them! The second thing is that Album 62 will start airing on the OAC on December 9th, 2016! I will hopefully put my predictions for this album on the Theories page before Tuesday, but I've been really busy lately so we'll see. Ok and third, I'm actually starting a podcast! I hope to get a few more people on here so that it's not just my boring voice playing for half an hour, but like I said, I'm busy. But I have the first episode recorded and you can listen to it here! (Deepest apologies: you will have to download it before listening. I'm working on making them more accessible for the future!) Please tell me if you have any difficulty listening to it!

Yep! It's kind of that time of the year again. (If you have the OAC, you know what I'm talking about) But Without a Hitch is comin' out on the OAC and I am so excited! Can you tell I'm excited?! I've already heard The Feud of Mason County and my expectations were blown out of the water, I was VERY impressed! I won't say anything else, for spoiler reasons, but I will have a review of the episodes up soon!
Ok, so The Odyssey Adventure Club released another edition of Drake the Cosmic Copper just a few days ago and with the release of the digital comic, came the anoucement that, starting January of 2017, Drake and Woots will be recurring characters in Club House Magazine. To see what I thought about this news and my review of the comic book, go to Reviews. (Yes I did change the name of that particular page to fit my purposes.)

Well folks! It's that time again! Adventures in odyssey is hosting their 9th annual Avery Awards! Because albums now have only 6 episodes each, the voting will have questions from Taking the Plunge and Head Over Heels. The topics fans can vote for include:
Ok, The Ultimate Road Trip is now available for CD and digital download! You can also listen to it on the OAC. This 18 episode album contains all of Adventures in Odyssey's greatest vacation episodes! In this album you'll be able to here many fun adventures including Aloha Oy!, Bassett Hounds, Champ of the Camp, Black Clouds, and even Train Ride! Train Ride doesn't appear in any official Odyssey album. It's what some people would call, a Lost Episode! I would highly recommend the album for family vacations and simply personal enjoyment. They have truly picked some of the best vacation episodes and I think the whole family will enjoy listening to this album! |
Album 61: Head over heels has been announced! This album cover shows Ava Parker zooming down a cracked sidewalk with Mathew and Olivia in the far background. Though some people believe that it is winter in odyssey or at least getting colder, and even thought I love fall, I'm going to have to disagree. The only indicator of cold weather is Ava's outfit, but I have read that in the episode this album cover is based off of, Ava is learning how to ride a bike so it would make since for her to be overly protective and wear winter clothing especially if she's been to scared to ride in the past. Head over Heels will be available to the odyssey adventure club in November and available for download probably in December or January.

(And no, I don't know how to speak Spanish, I just found a translating website.) |
Ok so this isn't really any new news about aio but I had to write about it anyway. So The Official Guide to Adventures in Odyssey is an awesome book! It's perfect for aio fans everywhere! It has tons of behind the scenes info about almost every episode! You should buy it! (it's well worth the money!)
Paul Mccusker and Jay Smouse are leaving Odyssey! Paul, a long time writer and director for Odyssey has had other callings and Whit Hertford, the actor who plays Jay Smouse moved to England. In Happier news, album 61 will come out on the Odyssey adventure club in December and in this album Wooton will meet Penny's family! To here a clip of this interaction, |
The first episode of Head Over Heals is out on the Odyssey Adventure Club! It's a great episode, and if you have the Odyssey Adventure Club then you should defiantly listen to it! The first episode is called "A Word From the Wise." And in this episode Wooton meets Penny's family for the first time! It's a super cute and funny episode, and I think the next few episodes will be just as wonderful! For a sneak peak of what the next few will be about, look no further:
For Penny and Wooton, the answer to a marriage proposal leads to even more questions. Will Wooton meet with Penny’s family’s approval? And will Penny believe the best about her fiancé even after evidence seems to pile up against him? Meanwhile, others in town are asking questions of their own: The Parkers wonder if Mom will ever learn how to ride a bike, Whit unexpectedly doubts whether his daughter should move to town, and Emily wonders how an unknown hero is thwarting robberies across town. |
We know the name for album 61! This album will be called "Without a Hitch" and will release on the Odyssey Adventure Club in May and it will air on the radio probably somewhere in August or September. The episode titles have not been announced yet, and they are still working on the cover art. To see my priditions for this album go up to Theories.

Album 61: Without a Hitch cover art is officially unveiled! I have to say, this album cover gave me mixed feelings. I'll start with the good things. First, I love the pink border! Very weddingish. And interestingly enough, album 29, Signed, Sealed, and Committed, also has a pink border. This is the first time we get to see Penny without her glasses, without her hat, smiling and eyes closed. So that's pretty cool. The art is fairly well done. Not Gary's best album cover but still top quality. Unfortunately the negative feelings that came with this overpowered the positive aspects. Overall the art just doesn't feel like an album cover. At best it could be art for an OAC episode. It seems to fit awkwardly with the boarder. At the same time however, the art brings up some questions about the episode. Like why aren't Connie and Eugene in like, wedding clothes? Why is Eugene doing Penny's face stuff? Why does Penny look so relaxed when Connie is obviously super stressed? What is up with Eugene's vest?! Why isn't Buck on the cover? (Not because he should be- just you know, he deserves to be on every album cover.) Why does the background look terrifyingly like Whit's End???? Hopefully all these questions will be answered in A Very Bassett Wedding. But only time will tell...
