What seemed to be an impossible wish is now a reality! Focus on the Family has re-released
Family Portraits!
Family Portraits was the pilot series for Adventures in Odyssey. It was an experimental radio drama series that was aired in 1987 on the Focus on the Family show to see if the Christian community would respond to a new form of entertainment as an alternative to Saturday morning cartoons. 13 episodes were written and produced, complete with the wrap-around commentary by Dr. James Dobson and co-host Mike Trout.
You can now purchase digital downloads of all FP shows on
iTunes or
ChristianBook.com. When you buy the album, you'll also get an exclusive bonus feature about the creation of
Family Portraits with Phil Lollar, Chuck Bolte and Steve Harris.
I myself would rather have a CD album, but regardless, this is great news for diehard Odyssey fans!
With Family Portraits being re-released, the Official Podcast is giving away a free episode from that album, You’re Not Gonna Believe This…. If you want to hear how Adventures in Odyssey sounded before it became AIO, then you should definitely hear it!
