In our last Blogcast, we performed a radio comedy show called Skye Weldon & The Crazy Cactus Caper. We had several of our friends and some people on Odyssey act in it.

Well, when Devon Francis sent in his lines for Limpalong Cassidy, he did different voices for all the other characters as well. We thought it was a lot of fun and thought about releasing the whole thing at some point. But when Devon and his sister started the AIO Oddcast, he asked me if he could release it as one of their episodes and I said "Of course!"

So, enjoy this video with the alternate version of Skye Weldon starring Devon Francis, Devon Francis, and...well, Devon Francis!

It's time to stop the music. It's time to dim the lights. It's time to say goodbye to the Adventures in Odyssey Blogcast.

That's right. After 3+ years and nearly 50 episodes, we're ready to say farewell to the Blogcast. Don't be too sad! We've still got one humdinger of an episode to share with you! An interview with Dave Arnold, our third radio drama, a review of the Truth Chronicles, and much, much more are a part of our season 6 and series finale!

Because of the time length (over 3 hours!) and the amount of  segments in the podcast, we're adding the times where you can find everything.

Doest thou remember that British computer virus from episode 42 of the Blogcast? Well, that's me: Sir E! I have hacked into Austin's computer once again and am in the process of stealing the interview the AIO Blogcast did with Dave Arnold. They are not going to release it until March 29th, but I am doing my best to release it ahead of time.

Listen to the audio attached to this post to follow my progress.

Post-production is near completion on our next radio drama, Skye Weldon & the Crazy Cactus Caper! We're really excited to release it! So, to tide you over, here's a quick teaser trailer of the show, along with a list of all the people performing in it. Enjoy!

Dave Arnold has worn many hats in the audio drama world. He was one of the original sound designers on Odyssey, he's directed, produced, and acted in several episodes. More recently, he's been writing some shows (such as A Thankstaking Story & Sgt. York). He's also been a big part of Focus on the Family Radio Theatre, doing many of the same things he's done on AIO, along with hosting most of the productions.

We're pleased to let you know that, in our last episode of the Blogcast, we will be interviewing Dave on that podcast! We want you to be a part of this, so we'd like you to send in some questions for him. It can be about AIO, Radio Theatre, or anything else you'd like to ask him. You can submit your questions by using this form, posting a comment on this post, or email us on our Contact page. Just make sure to only send in 3 questions max and to get them all in by February 1st.

The deadline is past. Make sure to listen to episode 45 of the Blogcast to here the interview!

As we said in episode 42 of the Blogcast, we want you to be a part of our series finale. We want you, our listeners, to tell us what episode of the Blogcast is your favorite, favorite interview, favorite moment, least favorite epiosde, or anything else you want to tell us!

We would love it if you recorded your thoughts and sent them to us. If you do, we'll play it on the last podcast! If you don't feel comfortable or don't have the ability to do that, we'll take it in written form as well.

To send us an MP3, just shoot us an email with a link to the file or attach the file to a PM on the Town of Odyssey or Soda Shop message boards, or send a message to us on Facebook. Make sure to get it in to us before January 16th! We can't wait to hear from you!

Because the Adventures in Odyssey Blogcast is an audio podcast, we don't usually take pictures or videos recording the show. But last month, when we recorded the Season 6 premiere, we took a few pictures to share with you guys.

Getting ready to record (Notice our recently acquired AIO shirts)

This is another reason why we don't take many pictures of us recording. In case you're wondering, the blankets gives the recording a cleaner sound.

This is the program I use to edit our podcasts, Cakewalk Music Creator. By the way, this picture shows some of the production finished on our upcoming radio drama, Skye Weldon.

We hope you enjoyed seeing a peek into the making of the Blogcast. Stay tuned for some more surprises as we head into our final season!

We've got a really fun interview for you guys! We interviewed Jordan, Josh, and Kelli Taylor, the people behind the Blimey Cow YouTube channel! During our conversation, we ask them about their Odyssey fandom, including their favorite episodes and characters. Also, they tell us about the origin and the making of their Christian comedy vidoes, Messy Mondays.
