You read right. We had so much fun doing our live Google Hangout with Phil Lollar that we wanted to do it again with someone else. Who is that person? Katie Leigh, the voice of Connie! On Thursday the 23rd from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm MST, we'll be broadcasting live on YouTube and talking with the one and only Katie Leigh. During the interview, you, the audience, will be able to send questions of any kind in for Katie to ask live! If you can't make it to see us live, you can send us your questions in advance. You may send in as many questions as you want. We'll be accepting them the day before, the 22nd. When we're done with the interview, you'll be able to see the video of the whole thing again.

Hope to see you there!

We've got a really cool interview for you today. It's an interview with the voice of Rodney Rathbone and Mitch, Steve Burns!

We ask him questions about his acting on other things besides AIO, how he got on Odyssey, if he think Connie & Mitch should have gotten married, have him do a conversation between his two characters, and more!

Also, this recording is the first time for us to record with our younger sister, Ashley. She had a lot of fun and so did we! We hope you do, too.

We've interviewed a lot of people on the Blogcast and our YouTube channel. But Tasha & I have never been interviewed together (we have before, but it was never released), on audio or video. Now, Devon & Victoria from the Adventures in Odyssey Oddcast have interviewed us on their podcast!

Some of you, along with our interviewers, came up with some really good questions for us. In the interview, we answer questions about Emily Jones, if the Blogcast will return, who we think Connie should marry, what careers we're looking at going into, and a whole lot more. Of course we get a little crazy and we laugh quite a bit.

We had a lot of fun recording with them. I'm sure you'll enjoy watching it, too.

Today is the day. 5 years ago, a small little blog that hardly anyone knew about was born. It was run and written and run by a younger and amateurish writer named Austin Peachey. Over time, the blog blossomed into a big website with a lot of features and fan interaction. Hopefully, I've become a better writer as well. Even though I have a few other blogs, this one stands out as being the most fun and the most rewarding. I'm overwhelmed by all of your support of the AIO Blog. I am totally blessed by God to be able to do all the things I do through this site. So, on behalf of myself and Tasha, we want to thank you for reading this blog and sharing it with others. You guys are the best!

And, to show our thanks, we're releasing a video of the audio interview we did recently with AIO and Radio Theatre writer, Paul McCusker. We hope you enjoy it!

Here we go! Join us now as we interview AIO's co-creator live! Make sure to post your questions in this post or through our different social media sites.

We bring you yet another interview on YouTube. This time, we talk with popular Christian author, Bill Myers.

In the interview, we ask him about how he started writing, his work on Adventures in Odyssey (he wrote all the Mulligan family episodes and played Mike Mulligan), creating McGee & Me, his favorite books, and lots more!

Even though the Blogcast is over, we still want to interview people connected with AIO. Today, we present what we hope to be the first of many audio/video interviews on our YouTube channel: a chat with David Griffin, the voice of Jimmy Barclay!

In the interview, Dave answers questions about his experiences recording for AIO, what other character he'd like to play, and gives some updates on his audio projects: "Bunker 21" and Edwin & the Orbs."

Be sure to subscribe to our channel. We'd really appreciate it!

Recently, I was approached by Ashley & Cindy Green from the HugeAIOFan YouTube channel. They asked if I would like to be interviewed by them. I happily agreed. In the interview, I answer questions about my Odyssey fandom, working on the new Official Guide, and being a part of a missionary family.

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.

A Christian radio station called CHRI recently interviewed Odyssey writer, Marshal Younger on their book show, Wednesday Bookmark. In it, Marshal talks about his involvement in writing the AIO devotional, 90 Devotions for Kids and what the book is all about. You can listen to the full interview here and you can order the devotional yourself here.

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!
