Fan Interview

Hey guys, today I have a short interview with one of the top commenters, Alina, from The Odyssey Scoop. Here it is:


When did you start listening to AIO? Umm, I don't remember for sure. But probably when I was in the 4th grade (2007-2008)

How old were you then?

Around 9-10 years old

How old are you now?

      14 years old

Who is your favorite character?

Well, first off, all of them are great so I don't really have a favorite, but I'll try to think of someone. Overall: Jason Whittaker

Major:
Old- Jason Whittaker
New- Jay 

Minor:
Old- Jimmy Barcaly and Rathbone family
New- Buck

What is/are your favorite episode(s)?

I just absolutely love the Novacom Saga!

If you could spend one day at a carnival with one character, who would it be?

Definitely WOOTON BASSETT!

Thank you for your time!

The Imagination Station, "Voyage with the Vikings"

     

I recently received a copy of "Voyage with the Vikings", the first of the 5 Imagination Station books for children ages 7 and up. In this book, cousins Beth and Patrick go into the Imagination Station in search of a Viking Sunstone.
     This is a very good book. The book has vivid details and has amazing illustrations. Like the Imagination Station always does in an Adventures in Odyssey episode, it brought the history of Vikings like Erik the Red to life. It made historical figures like Erik the Red, his son Leif Erikkson and his mother, Hilda, come to life. Even though this book is meant for children 7 and up, even older kids can enjoy this fun story.
     Thanks Tyndale for supplying me with a complimentary copy of this book to review!

Album 53 Discussion Site

Hi guys, I have a little project I've been working on.
  SPOILER ALERT: Don't go to this site if you haven't heard the newest album.
 If you go to my Album 53 site, it is now a discussion site for Odyssey fans who have already listened to the new album. You can now discuss the album without worrying about giving away spoilers!  You can get to it here. Because, like Jesse said on the newest Official AIO Podcast, "You can avoid those spoilers forever."

The Green Ring Conspiracy!

As of the 15th, Album 53 "The Green Ring Conspiracy" has now been translated to Canadian! If you are Canadian, you can download the newest album here!

A Little Food for Thought. . .

A commenter on the Odyssey Scoop commented on the art of Album 53, and mentioned that Matthew resembled Bambi on the cover:

Julia
is that Matthew on the cover?
He sorta has the Bambi look goin!

I disagreed until I compared Bambi with Matthew. To the right is a side-by-side comparison of the two. Does Matthew Parker look like Bambi in the new cover? The decision is yours. I hope that Album 53 isn't as sad as Bambi.
     Also, you download the album "Discovering Odyssey" from the Focus Download Store here. There is a preview of Album 53 that you can listen to on the new-and-improved ScoopCast. Check it out!

Odyssey Obsession

I found this website, it isn't very Odyssey related, but they have a post about the top 7 things that may be evident of an Odyssey obsession. Below is an excerpt.  (Note: not saying that this website is inappropriate, but this blog is not responsible for any of the content of this site.)
“. . .2. You think that all of Colorado has one zip code.

Watch, I’m a mind reader. I say, “Colorado Springs, Colorado….” You say? “…80995.” Amazing, huh?

3. You can tell which “Whit” is which.

Speaking of Whit, you’re only a true Odyssey fan if you can instantly tell which of the three voice actors is playing the character in any given episode. You’re really obsessed if you know that the original also played the drunk on Andy Griffith. (Did I ruin anyone’s childhood with that factoid?)” 

That's all for now.
