Does Your Family Listen to AIO??

Post

Though I'm sad to say it, only me and my brother listen to Odyssey. My sister did a little bit at first, and now she mocks me for how involved I am. How dare she?! My Mom knows a tiny little whinsy bit about the characters, but that's it. I know it's so depressing, but if you asked my dad he might not know who Mr. Whittaker is. :cry: :cry: My brother isn't as involved as me, but he still likes it a lot!! Now how about you guys... are you guys all part of a big AIO family??

My dad and I used to, but not that much anymore. Now it's pretty much just my sister and I. my little brother listens to it a bit.

I've summed this all up before, but in case you haven't seen those posts...
Siblings: nuts for it. Only my sister is as crazy for it as I am, but we all listen together almost every single day without fail. Sometimes to three or four shows a day!

Parents: They've never been fans. They kinda tolerate AIO. My mom likes to have silence in the house. I guess it's partially because we live right next to a highway... ;) And my dad is more into listening to music. Which I love to, but I put in an AIO CD more often than a musical one.

My family and I, we absolutley love AIO. Every night after dinner we listen to AIO on the radio and my dad especially likes Cyrin' Bryan Derne! (I think that's the way you spell his name... :roll: )

During the day, it's just me and my three brothers listening to it. On long car rides though, my dad can get quite into the adventure.... When we got the Green Ring Conspiracy, that was our family night for a while. Our whole family sat in the living room and listened to it.

I listen the most.
My sisters listen whenever I listen out loud.
My younger brothers listen whenever they're bored.
My older brothers listen whenever we listen as a family, and they will occasionally stop and listen when I'm listening out loud.
And my parents listen when we listen in the car, and when we listen to it as a family (Like when we listened to the Green Ring Conspiracy and Novacom together :) )
My parents sometimes know more about AIO than I do :o

Yes!! It's always more fun to listen to it as a group, so you can see everyone's reactions and talk about what you think will happen next!!

I actually started listening to AIO because it was just a family activity. Any road-trip, short or long, would generally be accompanied by a couple episodes of AIO. We didn't even really own that many volumes to start with, but we really got into it when we started borrowing albums from another family we know that had the entire collection.

Fun fact: That family still listens to Odyssey every time a new volume comes out, even though the only two people still living in that house are in their 50's.

For the most part it's just me and my sis. Our parents listen sometimes, but not very often, and so we sometimes try to explain the plots to them. And it can get very confusing.

Sparky, I was just thinking... Anna Popplewell is gorgeous, but... somehow, I think she'd look better with... a... I know! A mustache. What do you think?
