Kidsboro Sampler


Today I've added the final back cover to the upcoming Kidsboro sampler for release in July 2009. Visit our product page to see them. As usual, this Adventures in Odyssey sampler will contain a $3 rebate on a future purchase of AIO. It's definitely a good bargain for all Odyssey collectors out there. If you like Kidsboro and the books recently released, then you won't want to miss out on the future AIO episodes dealing with the kids in Kidsboro in the days ahead. It looks like Kidsboro is here to stay on the program. Be sure to send Focus on the Family your thoughts, suggestions, etc., because they want to hear from you regarding the future of the show. After all, it's the fans who keep the show alive!

Podcast Highlights


Even though no new AIO shows will be airing until September 19, 2009, we have been blessed by the podcast world. Yesterday, the Ceiling Fan released their 14th podcast. It's certainly a fun edition, written by Mark Jones this time. Having listened from the perspective of someone who studied broadcasting for two years, I don't want you to miss any shows from this stupendous fan favorite. As for the Unofficial Podcast, the second half of their roundtable discussion concludes in their 53rd podcast. You'll hear more discussion on Passages and interesting tidbits from the fans. Stay tuned for future podcasts from these two popular fan AIO podcasts.

Bookstore Window


A few weeks ago I promised I'd eventually post a picture of what I've been doing on campus this semester. Currently I'm taking Advertising Design II and was designated as project manager of the designing, building, and setting up of the college's bookstore window display. We had to tackle a Bible Conference theme, so our group decided on a "get refreshed" headline with images of water mixed in with students looking refreshed. This is the window that resulted. Our team worked together well and ultimately, the bookstore manager was pleased. And that's a good thing when you're being graded! And when you're the manager, having people cooperate with one another is very important! To see a larger view  of the window, click here.

 

Stay tuned for more updates. You never know what you'll get here at the Scoop.

Airing Schedules


A couple days ago, I updated our Schedule section with the airing schedules for both April and May 2009, but other updates just seemed too high priority to mention at the moment. Not only that, you can see what's coming up on weekends from here on out until September. Click here to see the upcoming schedules. We'll be getting a nice review of Passages until Darien's Rise begins airing on September 19! An official season of new episodes in the mainstream series will begin airing in 2010. Does that seem too far away? Nah. It'll be here before we all know it. Besides, we've got Passages to keep us busy and several Adventures in Odyssey repacks coming up. It sounds like a good time to catch up on your collection. Be watching our Schedule in the days ahead for updates.

Get the Scoop on Facebook!


I guess there's nothing wrong with getting more publicity, right? I'm sure many, if not all of you know about facebook, the online social networking site that has swept the nation almost overnight. I've been a member on there since before it was popular. That was during the days when it was only limited to college students and didn't have advertisements on the side. Now, I'm excited to present The Odyssey Scoop Facebook group which you're more than welcome to join. Feel free to start a topic, submit suggestions, etc. I just opened up the group last night and it's growing fast. And a link will always be present on the left side of our homepage for easy access.

 

Also today, The Ceiling Fan Podcast has released their exclusive behind-the-scenes audio clip for the Novacom Saga collection. If you listened to the first three, you won't want to miss this final installment before the product releases this April! Four clips are available in total throughout the various fan websites, and you can find links to all four (one of which is ours) at our product page. Enjoy!

Head on over to our product page to hear a little sampling of what you'll get to experience if you buy AIO's biggest mini-plot set. We're getting closer to the release date of this exciting fan favorite and you won't want to miss out on all the behind-the-scenes goodies that this set provides. So go check out that audio clip!

 

Also we've provided some links to a few other audio samples that have sprung up on other AIO sites on the net. This is going to be good!

The Ceiling Fan Podcast CFNN Edition


The Ceiling Fan Podcast just keeps hopping with more and more surprises along the way. On Wednesday they released a special Ceiling Fan News Network (CFNN) edition of the podcast:

 

Enjoy a nice little surprise segment from the folks at the Ceiling Fan News Network. Step outside the usual format of the biweekly show as Ethan Daniels responds to some online Odyssey fan world drama.

 

While you're there, you may also want to check out their very first edition of The Tadpole Audio Series, which just hit the net. I've discovered that anything Tadpole Radio puts together is worth a listen and you really do never know what to expect!

Official Podcast #64


Lately there has been a lot of questions posed over at The Town of Odyssey message boards regarding whether or not we'd be hearing Passages audio episodes in the future and what that means for the show. Well, on today's Official Podcast, the producers answer your questions! I'm looking forward to hearing it as well.

 

Will there be any more ‘Passages’ audio dramas? When will new episodes premiere? Producers answer your questions.

 

I for one want to find out!

The Unofficial Podcast #52


Today, the Unofficial Podcast has released their 52nd podcast. This edition explores the future of Adventures in Odyssey as we don't know it, as well as the "awesomeness" of Canada. I've always been a big fan of this podcast, particularly because it was the first unofficial podcast that popped up on the internet since OdysseyRadio. If you don't know what OdysseyRadio was, it was an audio show about AIO, but more talk show-style. It wasn't technically a podcast since it came before the term podcast was invented. It was a big hit in its day. If you missed out on that craze, let's just say we've got plenty of podcasts floating around now. There's nothing to miss out on now. So go on over and listen to the latest podcast!

The Town of Odyssey


I don't know about you, but I've always enjoyed quietly keeping up with AIO news via The Town of Odyssey message boards. Apparently, on Wednesday this week, the administrators of the board changed my name to "Toothbrush Cowboy" and required that I wear this badge of honor for at least 24 hours. I feel so privileged! It's been over 24 hours already, but I guess I'll keep the name for a little bit longer. So if you're wondering who Toothbrush Cowboy is, now you know. It's me. And I'm wearing my badge of honor, but not for very long. Thanks, administrators!

3D Shots of Upcoming Releases!


I don't know about you, but I'm getting especially excited about the release of Adventures in Odyssey Live! this May and Novacom Saga in April! Today, if you head over to the appropriate product pages, you'll notice I've updated with several 3D views of the products. AIO Live features die cuts, something that really enhances the coolness of the product. For those of you who aren't familiar with die cuts, an example of one are the letters L, V, and E cut out from the title. From a graphic design perspective, die cuts can really add to the beauty of a piece if used appropriately. And AIO has really impressed us this time. You won't want to miss out on these new photos of these upcoming releases to see what's in either product.

 

As for showing you that Bookstore window display I mentioned last Wednesday, I haven't forgotten about it. Everything went well for the most part. The best thing is that the project is over with and now I can move on to other things. I'm still waiting around for a chance to take a good picture of it or at least get a digital copy of the design file. Then I can show the world. Keep checking back!
