"Get the whole family together..."

[Dr. Watson]

So each episode begins this way, but I was wondering, how often does your entire family listen to an AIO episode? Or do you mostly by yourself/with a sibling?


I listen to new episodes with Laura, but normally my whole family doesn't listen together. In fact, I can't remember any time that my whole family has listened together.

What are your experiences?

[Laurie]

Since I'm the only one who is interested in and enjoys Odyssey, I listen by myself.

[The Kings Daughter]

We used to a little bit, but not anymore. Unless it's for new episodes of course. And even then...not always.

[American Eagle]

The entire family? That's nearly impossible with eleven members, four of which are married.

My brother, sisters and I usually have it playing around the house (especially since Album 52 arrived), but we don't really sit down to listen very often. It's mostly while we scurry around the house or complete our housework. When new episodes air, I listen to them alone so I'm not influenced by groupthink.

[Catspaw]

I usually listen alone - I used to always listen as I was falling asleep (or trying not to fall asleep so I could hear the rest of the episode) and I still listen that way sometimes. I recently got album 52 and I've been listening in my car on the way to work and back, so again, that's just me alone. Family vacations and car trips are times when my family does listen all together. Everybody enjoys AIO to a certain point, but I'm definitely the biggest fan in the family. It's fun to listen together, but I like listening alone too.

As a kid, Odyssey would play every night at 7:00 Pm, so we would listen as a family while we cleaned up after supper. Then on weekends it was on in the mornings and we would listen while we made breakfast. Now days, my brother and I both listen to the show, but we don't listen together. He doesn't listen to the episodes until we buy the actual album. I can't wait that long So I just listen on my own. We still listen together as a family on occasion on long car rides.

Yep on Sunday's with the new episodes my grandma, sister, and I listen to the whole thing. My parents hear it because it's on but I don't know if that even counts. Other then that my sister will listen to some of my albums once in awhile. At night I tend to listen to a few Odysseys.

[EMBEE]

The only time we listen together as a whole family is in the car. But at home I listen with all of my siblings a lot.

[V-lady]

Back in the day when everyone was younger and more often at home, we would all sometimes listen to the weekend broadcast or on long car trips. Now, it's usually just one or two of us listening.

[Anemone]

I listen alone or with snubs, but a lot of the time it is just me.

[Marvin D.]

Because no one else really loves Adventures in Odyssey, it's always just me or my brother. And of course, Tina, who only knows the word "Odyssey" because our dog is named that.

[Honey Wheeler]

My family used to listen to Odyssey durring dinner. But we don't any more We listen to it together on long car trips
But, I listen to it by myself most of the time.

[TigerintheShadows]

I usually listen to it by myself, because I am the family Lady of the AIO Albums and my word is law. But we listen to it on long car trips, and I used to listen to them each night while my mom was washing dishes (however, as they aren't even playing on my station at all, Saturdays or weekdays, that kind of doesn't happen anymore).

[Boswell]

I listen to new episodes with my sister, old episodes with my friend who's going through the series, and, on those rare occasions when my whole family is in a vehicle together (for an extended period ), in-between episodes.

[Leonard Meltsner]

When my family's in the car, my little sister and I will make sure that we listen to it, and my Mom really likes it. My Dad doesn't mind it, as long as we don't spend the whole trip listening to it. Otherwise, I'm listening to it on my iPod 24/7! Like right now!

[31899]

I normally listen alone because my family is far to lame, except sometime I'll listen with my youngest siblingly.

Sometimes.......sometimes we listen to it at breakfast/brunch on Saturday mornings.

I, and my sister, are the only two who LOVE odyssey....the rest of the family could care less

[Agent 86]

Me and Yanny listen to old eps at home and on Mondays me and my lilttlest bro listen to new eps in the car.

[Sapphire]

When I was eleven, my family and I would listen together. Then I discovered that I could listen to it online. I mostly listen to it by myself, but sometimes my brother likes to listen to it with me.

[The Top Crusader]

In the early days when I was younger my parents would listen in the car once in a while but usually they would make me use headphones.

My brother enjoyed the show as well but we have not lived under the same roof for like 18 years so that is out as well.

And my wife hates the show... so yay I always get to listen by myself, except when I'm road tripping on the other side of the country.
