AIO Thought of the Week: I’m like a million years late but the town of Odyssey being, you know, how it is, would totally fit with all those Ohio jokes people were making a few years ago.
Context you probably know: before Odyssey was set in the nebulous void of Midwestish it was set in Ohio. As seen in the pilot series Family Portraits.
Good morning (or afternoon) and happy Sunday Odyssey fans! We hope you enjoyed your Independence Day weekend! Let’s get into what AIO and its fan community has for us this week.

From Elsewhere on the Block:
What’s New in Odyssey?
The Twilife Zone?
On July 1st, we got a taste of a Kids’ Radio series we haven’t seen in almost two decades…The Twilife Zone. Unlike the earlier ones though, every character in this episode played themselves, and (if you’ll a moment of opinion), felt more like a twisted take on a story in Odyssey more than an otherworldly, spooky tale. Nevertheless, it’s available on the Club now for your listening enjoyment.
Album 79 Goes Two Steps Forward
AIO’s penultimate CD album continued this past week on Tuesday with the release of “Two Steps Forward, Three Steps Back”, an episode this website highly recommends. It’ll wrap up in the coming weeks the Kathy Buchanan-led continuation of Jules’ story arc.
Other Books on the Presses
Last time, we mentioned the AIO authors’ plans to put out multiple Young Whit and Blackgaard books over the next fall. In that, we were remiss to include “Scotch Game” in our announcement, the seventh book of the Blackgaard series that will arrive on March 3rd of next year. It’ll be exciting to get additional insight into the epic “Darkness Before Dawn” side of the arc.
