I've listened to it for about 4 years but how about Y-O-U?

I think I've been listening to it about 21 years. It may have been before that. I don't remember. I do know it wasn't too far from the very beginning.
Uh... 2 or 3 years...

I started listening January 1987 when It was first airing every Monday on the Focus on the Family programs. I was 9 years old and in the 3rd grade. I loved Family Portraits and was so glad when Odyssey USA started that September. And soon AIO was renamed. I have listened from the very beginning.
lets see.. if i remember this..
from stromy weather back when it was grins grabbers and getaways.. we had the blue case.. i remember when i stopped listening was right after twists and turns i believe we listened on the radio has i grew up.. i cared less and less but for personal reasons.. then i picked back up last year.

You listened to Odyssey seven years before I was born?! Suddenly, I feel very young.Jimmy Barclay wrote:I started listening January 1987 when It was first airing every Monday on the Focus on the Family programs. I was 9 years old and in the 3rd grade.

My first Odyssey memory is buying an individual tape of "The Popsicle Kid". That episode aired December 22, 2001, so I'm guessing we picked it up in 2002. Nine years, then?

Since January of 1987 as well. My mom always listened to Focus on the Family so I was like "oh hey a drama instead of that boring old guy talking to a fish!"
I started listening (I think, I honestly don't remember now) in 2000 or 2001.

My family had been listening since the very beginning, but my earliest memories were when I was in third grade (give or take a few years) when the Christian radio station started in my hometown, so about 19 years.
And I've been in love with the program ever since.

I started listening off and on about 9 or 10 years ago, in the middle of Novacom. But I didn't really start getting to know the all of the characters and storylines until about two years ago.

I've been listening for probably 8 or 9 years, I can't remember exactly
I would say 10 years. We've had AIO around as long as I remember.
Almost all of my life........probably about 10 years

Huh.... well, I got my first album in November of 2003... because Becky died in 2004. So... what, eight years? HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG?!!!!
My first episode was "Karen" too... the look of realization on Kathy's face when she realized what she had done. *face palm* I'm not scarred, I promise. lol. It put things into perspective for a eleven year old though. *maybe it has only been seven years... dates are always confusing for me...*
Otherwise, yeah. about eight years. Even though "listening" is a relative word for me.... I don't quite listen much any more. I listened to A Name Not A Number this past week, but before that, I hadn't listened for a while...

My family has listened as long as I can remember, so.... almost 24 years.
We have some early episodes recorded off the radio, like Harley Takes the Case, Part 1, The Price of Freedom, Rumor Has It, and Honor Thy Parents so we started recording them in 88.

I have been listening for about five years I believe.
