Pray for Dave Arnold.

As most of you probably know Dave Arnold the executive producer of Adventures in Odyssey is undergoing open heart surgery soon or maybe he has already had it but I would like for you to pray for him and hopefully everything is going to/went well.  I am kindly asking you to pray for him as he gets ready/recovers.  His family is probably really worried right now because I know that I was worried when my dad had appendicitis(which means he had to get his appendix removed.)  So again I would like to ask you to pray for him and hopefully God gives enough strength to get going again and be able to be the executive producer for AIO.  I again would greatly appreciate it if you prayed.

Sorry!!!!!!!

Sorry I have not posted for so long everyone.  I have just gotten into doing online courses and I have just been so busy with school in all and I have not gotten around to posting on my blog.  It has now officially become a dead blog and I know that and some of you probably think I am very weird for that but we have also been away on vacation and I was spending time with family.  I am going to try to bring this blog alive again and get some of that weirdness out of me.  A lot of you that have blogs that are MUCH MUCH more lively than mine and I just feel so bad and I didn't even want to post on here because most of you would probably make fun of me for waiting so long.  I hope you still like me even though I am so lazy for this blog and I hope yo be posting MUCH more often.  My next post will most likely be on AIO unlike all of my other posts and again I am so so sorry this has become a dead blog.

Best Blogs!!!!

I know that this has become a dead blog and it probably will later on but I decided to do a post about awesome blogs.  If you have not visited The Unofficial AIO Blog you HAVE to check it out.  It is my brother's blog and it is a much better blog than mine.  It has many more episode reviews more interviews and much more posts and it has never become a dead blog like mine.  If you have not checked out Me4theKing you have to check it out.  If you have ever visited the Soda Shop Message Boards then you will probably know who made it.  The awesome created of that blog is HannahJ.  She is a much more creative person than me and has written much more posts.  If you have not checked out JustAnotherAIOBlog you have to check that one out too.  It is so so neat.  And there is also Twists and Turns which you have probably all have checked out it is probably the 2nd best out of all of these.  Out of all of these blogs that I have just listed The Unofficial AIO blog is probably the best Twists and Turns is the 2nd best Me4theKing is probably the 3rd best and JustAnotherAIOBlog is probably the 4th.  No offence to JustAnotherAIOBlog but all the other ones I like better.  I am not saying that your blog is bad at all it is just that I like the other blogs better.  Well the Soda Shop Message Boards is AWESOME and I am on there every single day and probably are all of you that know about it.  I hope you really enjoy this post.

P.S. You can pm me on Th Soda Shop to suggest any changes.

New Albums

Which album is your favourite from 50-56?  My favourite is DEFINITELY album 55!!!!!!  I didn't really like the other ones.  I have not listened to album 56 but tell me what you like better including album 56 because I want to km-now if you think that album 56 is better than album 55.  I think that album 56 is going to be better but I want to know your opinion on what you think.  I didn't really like album 54.  Did you.  It was ok but I didn't really like it and I also didn't like album 51 or 52.  Album 53 was actually probably me second favourite and then album 52 and then album 51 or maybe it is the other way around I am not sure but anyway I would really like you to comment on this to tell me what you think of album 56 The Grand Design.

Adventures In Connelsville V.S. Jason and Mitch secret agents

Which do you like better?  I probably like Jason and Mitch secret agents.  It is so so so so so awesome. Don't you think.  I am so so excited for the next part to be out.  Are you?  If you have not read Jason and Mitch secret agents you HAVE to read it it is the BEST.  Adventures in Connelsville is really good too but I think I like Jason and Mitch better.

Emily

Do you like Emily from AIO?  I don't.  She is annoying.  Do you think she is?  Matthew is AWESOME!!!!!!!  Do you think so.  Do you like the old families like the Barclays and the Washington's or the new families like the Jones and the Parkers?  I like them all but i like the old familys better.  I also wish that they would come back.  Do you?

Campbell County

Did you like Campbell County the way it is or the way it was.  What I mean is by the way it was is it was changed by Bren and Jason.   I don't know if you noticed that or not but.  I like it the way it is.  I thought it looked horrible when they changed it.  At first I thought Jason was evil and was trying to take over the Campbell County but then my brother private messaged Bren asking him why he had let Jason take over the Campbell County.  So he private messaged back saying that he and Jason were doing it together and it made more sense.

Album 56

I think Mitch will be coming back in either album 56 or 57.  What about you?  I also think that one disc will be about a really really secret FBI case involving lots of bad guys.  i can't wait until album 56 comes out in August.  I will also be doing another post about what I think of it when I hear it.  In album 55 there were 2 disappointments for me.  The first one was that Mitch and Connie didn't get married and the second one was that Katrina and Eugene couldn't have children.  Did that disappoint you?  I hope you enjoy album 56.

interview with Paul McCusker

1.Which Passages book is your favourite?

It's hard for me to answer questions about favorite books or episodes, since I have great affection for each one, for different reasons unique to each story.

2.When you made album 55 which album did you think that you would like the best?

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand the question. Did you mean which "episode" did I think I would like best? Album 55 has some particularly strong shows, but I thought Dave Arnold's work on "Sgt York" was excellent.

3.How well do you know all the actors?

In some cases, having worked with some of the actors for 25 years, we've become friends and enjoy our time together in the studio. But we don't tend to hang out at each other's houses, if that's what you're asking :)

4.What made you want to make Adventures In Odyssey?

You may remember that Adventures In Odyssey started as a mandate from Dr. James Dobson, the head of Focus on the Family. He wanted the audio team to create a healthy alternative to Saturday morning cartoons. So Steve Harris and Phil Lollar established the foundation of what would become Odyssey. I joined in early on. My personal heart for Odyssey has always been rather straightforward: to tell compelling stories that make Christianity meaningful and helpful for our listeners.

5.What AIO video do you like the best?

The two that I co-wrote, of course :)

6.Do you like the new AIO or the old AIO better?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Because it is a 25 year old show, Odyssey has been through several periods due to cast and character changes. Some people love the period when Hal Smith played Whit (1987-1994). Others love the in-between time with Jack and Jason, before Whit came back (as played by Paul Herlinger). Some love the Barclays, others enjoyed the Washingtons. Some point to the Novacom episodes as their favorites. And so on. For the same reasons I said I could answer about favorite books and episodes, I can't really say which period of Odyssey I like best.

7.Is the actor that plays Wooton as funny as he is in the show?

Yes.

8.Do you think that Wooton and Penny should get married?

Not in the near future, if ever.

Episode Review

I am doing a episode review on The Labyrinth.  Here it is: I really really like the Labyrinth!  It was probably my favourite  disc in a album 55. The Labyrinth is a really cliffhanging episode.  Sue was really cute and very very clever.  She was probably my favourite girl in Album 55 except for Joy.  I thought Jason was really cool and smart and I wish he would team up with Mitch in album 56.  Agent Billings and Agent Florring make a good team together.  All together this was an awesome episode and I will be posting many more episode reviews on my blog too.  I hope you enjoy this blog a lot.

P.S.  You can pm me on the soda shop if you would like to suggest some changes.
