From Elsewhere on the Block:

What’s Odyssey Podcast Cements Season 2 Release

Yes, we are totally hammering in the self-aggrandizing here at AWB. A press release encouraging listeners and website subscribers to explore the teaser came out this past week. In it is also a small update regarding What’s Odyssey.

What’s New in Odyssey?

Blackgaard’s Books Are Back

By the time many of you read this, The Blackgaard Chronicles Book 6: Bishop’s Block, will be available on Amazon. This is an exciting release long in the making—the last edition of the series was released in 2020, five years ago today. It is set to cover the details focused on that in-between period of “A Name, Not a Number”. On Amazon, it’ll be published in hardcover and on Kindle. The link on Amazon is available here (non-affiliate link).

Eleventh Hour Extends on the Eleventh

Eleventh Hour began airing on the radio this past Saturday, kicking things off with “Crossing the Line”. This is the second-to-last CD album to air on the radio before Adventures in Odyssey switches formats. The second part of the episode will air this weekend on October 11th, and the rest of the Jules-focused album will run through November. Interestingly, this is the second consecutive album opener to use a “cross” pun in the name.

5 Years.

Tomorrow is the fifth anniversary of this organization, which is simply unbelievable. To celebrate, we’ll be releasing a fall line of products and giving some away! Stay tuned! Thank you all for five amazing years. We can’t wait for what’s coming in our sixth.

Conclusion

Thanks once more for reading today’s Odyssey 33. It’s going to be a great fall and a great 2025! We’ll see you in two weeks.
