Hmm... I first listened to Odysseys at my friends house and then I was hooked!

I was listening to my local Christian FM station and they ran an ad for their kid's programming. The on air personality came on and mentioned AIO and said that she listened to it. Out of curiousity I listened and have been hooked ever since.

Hmm. Well untill recently I thought that I was probably 7 but then realized I was more likely about 5. My friend let me borrow an album, I pretty clearly remember, it was volume 7.

I think I was seven and I was riding in the car on the way home from Grandma's (or something) and my parents turned the station and found this radio show--someone named Grimm was chasing this boy in a spaceship...and then Nagle told him that he had fallen and that Grimm was the Grim reaper ( I didn't know what that meant) and that he had to go through this door and then he woke up in the hospital. That, of course, was Someone to Watch Over Me. I liked it but didn't listen regularly after that. Then we found out when Odyssey was on and we began listening every night at 6:00, and taping programs when we were gone, and getting albums.

That's how I got into Odyssey!

(btw, I just figured out that Nagle is an anagram for angel... Always thought that was a strange name..)

I can't remember my first because I have listened to it all my life but I remember it always helped me when my parents were going threw a hard time I would listen to AIO and it would make me feel allot better.

I grew up listening to Odyssey, so I can't really remember what originally got me hooked. I do remember my aunt and uncle giving me a whole bunch of Odyssey albums on tape (Albums #7-15)

I first heard the radio series when Chick-fil-A gave out Adventures in Odyssey tapes with their kid's meals. However, I only heard ones like "Isaac the Procrastinator" and "Why Don't You Grow Up?"

I got my first album when I borrowed "In Your Wildest Dreams!" from my pastor's library. Needless to say, I really didn't like this album, as it was in the "era of the splits", and found Adventures in Odyssey as nothing more than a way to get to sleep faster at night. The only episode that really stuck out to me was the powerful "No Boundaries".

But, I decided to give the series a chance and checked out more albums. I quickly discovered albums like "Twists and Turns", "Other Times, Other Places", and "Flights of Imagination". (He later let me keep half of them, and I'm very thankful. $\:D/$ )

Anyway, that's how I was introduced to Adventures in Odyssey.
