Recently there have been a few old AIO characters making unexpected appearances in Odyssey. If you had to choose another character to return, who would it be? This time we have selected a list of four female characters to choose from. Next time we will ask the same question, but with four male characters. So, who would be the perfect candidate to come back? You can all make your views known in the AIO Update's brand new poll. Answer our poll question here.
The Adventures in Odyssey Update website was founded on May 20, 2011, exactly one year ago. We invite you to celebrate our 1 year anniversary along with us, as this simply would not have been possible without your involvement and time spent on the site. Odyssey fans are the best. Thank you all for your feedback and support! Here is some information about us. The AIO Update exists to provide you and other fans with the latest Adventures in Odyssey news. For instant updates, you can follow us on Twitter. Not only do we offer news but we also offer opinions, which can be found in our Editorials section. In addition to that, feel free to browse countless Odyssey products, which you can rate out of 10, and if you get the chance please check out our Poll, which is updated regularly. As Eugene Meltsner once said, "In the words of waiters throughout the world, enjoy!" The digital downloads of the episodes in Album 55: The Deep End have been available for a while. But now you can no longer pre-order the set. Album 55 can be purchased on CD and the hard copy will be shipped immediately. You can order your copy online here or visit your local Christian book store.
And if you want, don't forget to pre-order Album 56: The Grand Design. You can now do so right here. It will be released in the fall. The concluding episode of Album 55: The Deep End can now be heard on the radio and online. You can listen to "Something Old, Something New, Part 2" here. In this episode Penny brainstorms ways to promote Connie's wedding planning business and one of her schemes dramatically backfires. Meanwhile, Matthew and Emily investigate a woman who may be trying to scam Jacque Henri. Also, AIO Update has chosen a rating for Album 55 as a whole. We have decided to rate it 10 out of 10 because of its realistic feel and the way it progressed the storylines of our favorite characters. Its content just seemed much more significant and engaging than other recent albums have had. This is the first perfect score we have given since Album 49: The Sky's the Limit. What are your thoughts? Leave a comment below. You can also rate the album yourself on our Album 55 page. We appreciate your feedback. For instant news updates in the future, please follow us on Twitter. Do you want to work as a Resource Marketing Coordinator for Focus on the Family with Brock Eastman? A position has recently opened up to provide marketing support to the Resource Marketing team to include marketing plan assistance, schedule adherence, inter-department communication, tactical implementation, and plan entries into the Aprimo system to track approvals and deadlines. You can apply for this job by going to this link, then searching "Advertising and Marketing" and then selecting "Resource Marketing Coordinator." Good luck. Our second poll question has now ended and the final results are out. It seems most Adventures in Odyssey fans want Focus on the Family to create a spin-off series for older listeners, while a few are either indifferent or are against the idea. We want to thank you for participating in the poll, and we hope to have a new poll question up soon. Send in your poll question suggestions here. What are your thoughts? Since you can no longer comment on the poll, please leave your opinions in the comments below.
