Now fans can hear AIO using all different types of platforms. That's why the AIO Update has created this latest poll to find out how you listen to Odyssey. Do you still listen on the cassette player or have you collected the CDs? Have you purchased your favorite episodes as digital downloads or do you wait for them to air on the radio? Do you stream your episodes through Whitsend.org, the Odyssey Adventure Club, or another app? You can only vote for one option so make sure you choose whichever way you like listening to the show the most. Vote for how you listen to AIO here.

Our next Adventures in Odyssey episode review is of Honor Thy Parents from The Lost Episodes. In this episode ten-year-old Laura Fremont is ashamed of her parents because she thinks they are "hicks." You can read our full episode review below. Our 12th poll question has now concluded and AIO fans have submitted their answers. Out of the many episodes in which Odyssey characters have traveled abroad, the top episode was The Search for Whit from Album 27 with 28% of the vote. In a very close second was The Labyrinth from Album 55 which was just one vote behind. Album 27: The Search for Whit is of course named after the classic three-part episode where Jason and Eugene travel to the Middle East and eventually meet up with Mr. Whittaker after being absent for the show for two years. The episode introduces the audience to the second voice for Whit, Paul Herlinger, and is definitely a huge milestone for the show. In second place came another three-part episode featuring Jason, this one called The Labyrinth. His adventure in London pursuing Mr. Grote is the first episode on Album 55: The Deep End and leads to Jason making the significant decision to move back to the town of Odyssey. I think what we can learn from this poll is that AIO fans enjoy when their favorite characters return and probably have a special affinity for the character of Jason Whittaker in particular. Thank you to all who voted in our latest Adventures in Odyssey poll. We will be posting a new poll question shortly. You can make suggestions for future polls here.
