On Monday, after a grueling afternoon of school and Drivers Ed, I got home and a box containing Take it from the Top was in my room on my desk chair! It couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks Luke F. (I won it in a drawing on the Odyssey Times) for the prize!

OK,you may be wondering, did I give into the irresistible urge to listen to eps that haven't aired yet? Nope, I only listened to the ones I've already heard. I'm not about to break tradition! Plus the album had some great goodies, too. Can't wait to make a WodFamChocSod!

So,have you got your copy yet or are you holding off 'till after the season's over?

We're back for another go-around in the 4th episode of the Adventures in Odyssey Blogcast!

What's in this podcast:
Austin and Tasha's review of The Inspiration Station Part 1 & 2
A new newscast

Oh, I can't believe it's finally here! After 2 years of waiting, a brand new season of AIO premiered today! Today, across the country, The Inspiration Station, Part 1 aired on the radio to countless Odyssey fans, including me!
And for those who missed it on the radio, make sure to listen to it online.

I won't go into detail about my thoughts about this show because Tasha and I will be reviewing both parts on an upcoming podcast.

I can't believe it! Just 3 more days until new episodes air! I can't wait! But while I don't wait, I'd like to share 4 more summaries for some of the eps you'll be hearing soon.

Target of the Week
Theme: The folly of revenge
Summary: Matthew is Vance King's "Target of the Week" – which means certain humiliation at the hands of the bully! Matthew decides to take matters into his own hands by getting revenge on Vance during an Odyssey Coyotes baseball game.

For the Birds
Theme: Responsibility

When You're Right, You're Right
Theme: Pride
Summary: Emily Jones is usually right about everything from solving mysteries to cooking chili. But when she decides to try her hand at matchmaking for her brother Barrett, the singing card she creates may have disastrous consequences. Will Emily have to face a situation where she could be...wrong?

Grandma's Visit
Theme: The importance of family
Summary: The Parker family is in for a bumpy ride. It all starts when their grandmother (or Abuelita) comes to tell them that their Aunt Rosalita has decide to elope...next week...in Odyssey...at their house! Then relative after relative arrives to stay with the family. Where will the chaos end?

Make sure to set your radio dial to Odyssey on March 6!

With just 12 days until the new season airs (can you believe it?), I thought I'd share with you guys a wallpaper of Album 51. As you may have noticed, this wallpaper is different than the other wallpapers I've made. I think the rays add something to it. Do you agree?

Instructions: Click on a thumbnail,right-click the image,select Set as Background and you have it!

The brother and sister duo are back with the third instalment of the Adventures in Odyssey Blogcast!

Today I got a nice surprise. Episode summaries for the first 4 episodes for the upcoming season have been released!

The Inspiration Station Part 1
Theme: Inspiration

Connie loves spending time in Whit’s newest invention, the Inspiration Station. But when a glitch shuts down the machine, her obsession may go too far. Meanwhile, Eugene traces the source of the malfunction to Matthew Parker, who apparently has been "fixing" everyone’s electronics, with disastrous results.


The Inspiration Station Part 2
Theme: Inspiration

Whit is concerned about the Inspiration Station’s strange effects on Connie, but hopes the invention could be just the thing to inspire young Matthew Parker.


Clutter
Theme: Storing up treasures in heaven

After nearly being mauled by the junk in his own garage, David Parker declares that his family is going to have a yard sale. Will the entire Parker family survive parting with their treasures?


Game for a Mystery
Theme: Putting off important things

Simon Jones just wants the hedge trimmed, but his son Barrett can’t tear himself away from his portable video game – until it disappears without a trace! Emily, along with trusty sidekick Matthew, takes this as a case for the newly‑formed "Jones & Parker Detective Agency."

We're really getting close to hearing brand new Odyssey shows very soon. Oh by the way, I'll be posting a new Blogcast soon in which Natasha and I discuss our hopes and thoughts about what we're expecting in the new episodes. You don't want to miss it!

Just a little over 2 months till the brand new season starts!And today several Album 51 details have been revealed.

For one thing,we have a list of all 12 episodes that will air:

The Inspiration Station I, II
Clutter
Game for a Mystery
Target of the Week
For the Birds
When You're Right, You're Right
Grandma's Visit
Finish What You...
The Jubilee Singers I, II, III

Here's the final cover art for Take it from the Top


As you've probably see,the AIO logo is way different than the one we're used to. Personally,I don't like the new logo. The present logo makes Odyssey look professional.While this one takes that feeling away.

So what do you think of these changes? You can post your thoughts here or on several threads about these things on the ToO
