Q: How did you start listening to AIO?
Catspaw: My parents got Focus on the Family's magazine and they would advertise AIO in there. I had lots of books and movies from FOTF growing up, and AIO was something that they ordered for me (and my siblings, but I was the oldest!) and before I was ten years old, I was a big fan and always got more for Christmas and for my birthday. My very first album was #10.
Q: How did your leading The ToO come about?
Catspaw: To make a long story short, Shadowpaw created the ToO, ran it for a while, and then had other things to do with his time, so he asked me if I would be interested in taking over for him as the permanent admin. I was a mod multiple times prior to that, as well as an elected admin in term 2, so I guess I seemed like a good candidate. After a little thought, I happily accepted. The rest, as they say, is history!

Q: What is something that this generation might not know about the early days of The ToO?
Catspaw: I used to be a terrible flirt.




Q: What is the coolest place you’ve ever visited?
Catspaw: It's hard to pick one place, but I loved visiting Colorado Springs! I've been there a few times, though not recently, and there are so many great things there. The Garden of the Gods is amazing, and of course the FOTF headquarters and the home of the WodFamChocSod are awesome too!
Q: What board style do you use?
Catspaw: Grayscale. I've used it almost exclusively since the upgrades a few years ago. I'm mostly a creature of habit, and I didn't like the avatars being on the right (or wrong)

Q: What frustrates you?
Catspaw: People who misuse homonyms.

Q: What is your favorite food?
Catspaw: It's hard to choose, because there are lots of things that I like, but I'll go with Red Lobster garlic cheese biscuits. So yummy!

Q: What is your favorite ToO memory?
Catspaw: How could I choose just one?!


Q: How has AIO impacted your life?
Catspaw: I've been listening for over two decades now (yes, I am ancient) and there are so many ways that my thoughts have been shaped by AIO, from knowing details to Bible stories because Bernard told it, to feeling encouragement as I have listened to an episode that speaks to exactly what I am struggling with (and often as a side part, not the main part of the episode, because God is good and works in so many ways that he makes it a surprise sometimes, when I thought I was choosing an episode at random!), to making friends because we discovered we both loved AIO, to people who I haven't seen for years remembering me because of my love for AIO, to lending AIO to people I hardly know because I want other people to have the chance to experience what I have - God's hand at work through an amazing audio drama.
Q: What is the best life advice you could give someone?
Catspaw: Walk with God, because he loves you and wants to speak to you through his Word. Life gets busy and other things crowd in, but choose what is most important. It won't solve all your problems, but knowing that God is with you through it all is even better in the long run. I can't claim to have lived every second of my life this way, but I know this to be the truth.
