The Town of Odyssey

Hmm. Being able to pay month to month does change things a little. I guess I'd be willing to use my Christmas money each December to hear the exclusive episodes. Especially the first year, I could hear the Last Chance Detectives for the first time, see some bonus content. All of that. Fifteen dollar...

I genuinely hate to admit it, but after reading jennifertwt's comment on the other thread about giving up AIO for a year, I think she's absolutely right. I've decided that for the first time in 15 years, I'm going to give up all things Odyssey for awhile. I wouldn't call it a total strike, as I will...

I was listening to "Missionary: Impossible" this week where Alex goes door to door to raise money for his missions trip. I absolutely love that when Jason asks him how much money he has raised, Alex answers, "About fifteen. And that's including the money my Grandmother sent me for my ...

You're still thinking like a long-time fan. Set aside for a moment how awesome you already know Odyssey to be and think like a parent who has no interest in listening to/watching a children's program for any longer than his/her own children are in the target age. It doesn't matter to this parent ho...

But that's just it, I'm not only looking at it through the perspective of a long time fan. Of course from that perspective this is a royal bummer. But we don't matter nearly as much as the target range. I understand that. However, if you look back at my many previous posts, you'll see that I make se...

To AIOCREFan, know that I really thoroughly read your post, and admire the stand you are taking on the issue. I think that looking at the issue through a positive perspective is important, and I like some of the pros you made about churches using the club for ministry. But that said, I think this is...

It feels wrong saying it, but those comments made me really happy. I love that parents are just now seeing the cost and realizing how impossible it will be to afford. Here's a question- Do you think Brock likes the idea of the club? It's just an impression from the shout out, but do you think he's r...

Whoa. This is huge. Looking at the posts on the other thread, I just realized that with the OAC, you can only listen online! Okay, so I already knew that, but I didn't realize the implications. Now, the only way kids can listen in their bedrooms is if they have internet... IN THEIR ROOM! Growing up,...

you're missing an option to be an alternating member, be a member for 1 month, get caught up on the episodes, then take a few months off of being a member. If you be a member for 1 month, then take 3 months off from the club and repeat, you'll only ever be 3 episodes behind and the total cost for t...

.. whats your excuse? Excuse for me: Honestly, at age 21, my personal excuse isn't that strong, but it's legitimate. If you disagree, skip ahead to the next paragraph. Now, lets briefly look at it from my perspective. I'm a college student and watch money wherever I can. I put my tithe of about 200...

<t>So, I know that between the "One AIO Season a Year" thread and Facebook, most of us have already shared our thoughts and opinions of the OAC, but I'm curious as to what people are actually going to decide come January. <br/> <br/> Personally, I refuse to sign up. As much as I might want to hear t...

Overall, I really liked this three parter. It's nice to see the show hitting some very difficult issues. It was really great to hear some serious interactions with Connie between Eugene, Wooton, and even Penny. I thought Whit was a little standoffish until the very end, but that was good. Nice to se...

David Hilder from the AIO Update wrote this great editorial about the status of the OAC that says a lot of the same things I feel about this. http://aioupdate.weebly.com/editorial-13.html He really does say it well. What is still just not connecting with me is how the people at Focus honestly belie...

I feel bad for all the kids whose parents are in ministry who just can't afford that price. Talk about alienating your fanbase! Thank you. I'm glad someone else is thinking about that. All I have to say about this is. . AE, we used to pay $90/month for Internet service, sans phone service. Thatisal...

I wonder if people from Focus are seeing our feedback here. I'm sorry, but logistically, this idea just seems to get worse and worse. I'm definitely on the same page as Jonathan. There is no way I can justify spending $15 per episode. It's tough enough justifying the $30 a year for two albums. I cou...

I'm never too fond of change, because it always seems like it changes the personality of the character, but I have to admit, I think I technically like this voice better. It's only lesser because it is not original. If this voice was first, and Sydney's came later, I think I'd have been a lot more u...

Ok, so I'm unfamiliar with this club, so tell me if I got this right. They produce an extra album, and the only way you can get it is to join this club for $180 a year? Doesn't seem worth it to me. Nor does it seem fair, because Focus has gotten a lot of money from me already in the last decade tha...

I might be the only one who felt this, but in my mind while listening to "Your Servant is Listening", I kept picturing the voice of Eli as being played by Hal Smith. It wasn't intentional, and once I realized I was doing it, I could easily recognize that this voice was different, but when ...

Yeah, I sense this too. I'm really not interested in this contest at all. At least the Get in the Show contest connected to, you know, the show. I don't even really check the AIO Facebook anymore. It just seems like it's all a little too much. I'm wondering if it has something to do with Brock's new...
