I know, I know. You thought I fell off the face of the earth. There has been lots of news about AIO and I haven't posted any of it! *Gasp!* Well, I haven't been able to get online on a computer for a long time, but I hope this post will make up for the times I didn't. Ok, here goes:

Some other great news is that the Blackgaard Chronicles is now out! Even if you have all the albums with eps from the Blackgaard saga, there's still a lot of new stuff for you to enjoy! There's a great DVD in the set with a 30-minute conversation between Paul McCusker and Phil Lollar about the creation of the saga. There is also new illustrations of Dr. Regis Blackgaard, Jack Allen, Jason Whittaker, Richard Maxwell, and Phillip Glossman, among others. Also, the collection contains bios of the actors relevant to the saga. It's available online from
Focus on the Family and other online retailers and at Christian bookstores. Oh, and here's the back cover:
Also, if you're wondering what the Spring 2012 season will hold? Well we know what the album will be called: The Deep End! And the summary? We have that, too!
When Jason Whittaker tracks the villainous Mr. Grote to London, England, he discovers another ominous plot. With the help of some old friends, will he unravel it in time? Back in Odyssey, Eugene and Red reveal the story of a World War I hero—Sergeant Alvin York. The last bit of news we have to share is about the Blogcast. This week, Natasha and I will be recording another interview with another very big Odyssey fan. Who is it? You'll have to wait and see! Also, we'll be recording our thoughts about the upcoming season. All of this will be in Episode 23. Be on the lookout for it!
Whew! That was a lot of work! Even though there's a lot happening now, just wait until we get closer to AIO's 25th Anniversary celebration. I'm sure we'll be in for a lot of special surprises!
