There were a number of story arcs that concluded in Album 49: The Sky's the Limit. Some were more popular than others but regardless of that they all seemed to be set aside after the relaunch in 2010. But does that mean they still couldn't show up in future Adventures in Odyssey shows? Of course not. In this new poll we ask the question "Which Album 49 story arc should return?" You can vote for Connie's book, Kelly and her mother, Leonard and Everett Meltsner, Grady and his father, or Mandy and her family. Do you see any potential for these characters and their story arcs to make a comeback in an upcoming album? Then make sure to vote here.
World Magazine's podcast The World and Everything in It has just released a new interview with Phil Lollar. Phil is the co-creator of Adventures in Odyssey and is developing a new audio drama series called Iliad House. During the podcast episode he talks about his fascination with voices, how he first got hooked on radio drama, and of course the ongoing Kickstarter campaign. Listen to the podcast here. Today's Adventures in Odyssey episode review from the AIO Update is of Nothing to Fear from Album 1: The Adventure Begins. In this episode we meet Shirley Ziegler who is afraid of just about everything. But when a real emergency comes up at Whit's End, she is forced to face her worst fear. Read our full review below. Today our tenth poll has just been closed and the final results are in. We asked you what is your favorite invention at Whit's End and out of the eight options six received votes and two inventions received the majority of the votes. The Imagination Station came in first place with 11 votes but in second the Room of Consequence was only two votes behind. The Imagination Station has been used to experience the Bible and other moments in history and has been involved in a few sagas over the years. It has made more appearances than any other Whit's End invention, showing up in over 60 episodes. It was first unveiled in Album 5 and its latest version appeared most recently in Album 57. In contrast, the Room of Consequence has only appeared in about a dozen episodes. The other inventions on the list have appeared in very few episodes. Now that this poll is over, the AIO Update will be posting a new poll question shortly. In the meantime you can suggest your own poll questions here. Thank you for participating in our Adventures in Odyssey polls. Our next Adventures in Odyssey episode review has now been published online.
