Problems with listening online

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

Problems with listening online

Post by zmster »

Hi,
Anyone else finding it neigh impossible to listen to the current eps. online? Its seems like a lot of times the link to Today's episode doesn't work. In the past I worked around that by going to Oneplace but apparently Focus has dropped their arrangement there (more cost cutting?) Today for instance (09/13) clicking on Today's ep gets you Thursday's ep instead. That's all that comes up for Friday too. It almost seems like they've buried the "listen" link on the new website as well. I'm not a fan of the redesigned Focus homepage either. I spend a lot of hours online and I still find their sight nearly impossible to navigate successfully. In other words, what would seem like the logical path to something is usually not the correct one. To be fair, Focus isn't alone in this. When Family Life redesigned their site the results were much the same. This is also true of both organizations logo redesigns IMO. I have a little (very little) bit of background in this and it puzzles me how organizations go from logos that were actually created by a designer/artist to ones that are merely done by arranging existing fonts and perhaps adding a tiny bit of today's equivalent of clip art. Ugh! :) Although to be fair Focus' is much better than Family Life's non logo logo. Sorry! My grumbling will end for now,lol.

ps, how did I end up with "why u donat (sic) me monies" by my name?

while there is no solution to the part of episodes not being uploaded for listening on time there is an easier way to find the links to listen to episodes, on www.aiowiki.com on the left hand side there is a link for recently aired episodes, click on it and a drop down list of the last week's episodes, just click on the link to listen.

Oh, awesome! Thanks, Reddo, I didn't know about that. That's nice because you can sort them to some extent, you can look at them by age.

Blame ek for the terrible grammer. Unfortunately, you're stuck with that. :( You have the option of changing your title to whatever you want, but it costs you $75.

Your other option is just to wait. ;) You have an automatically given title that is based on the number of posts that you have. As Jellyfish said, you can go to the Shop on the top menu bar, select Odyssey Specialty Shop (it's on the bottom) and pay to choose a new title of your own, but otherwise it will change every now and then as your post count rises. :D

Has everyone seen the How to Listen Online link at WhitsEnd? All the Jimmy Barclay fans out there shouldn't have missed it, considering it's his image on the home page!

I will never think of or hear that episode in quite the same way again thanks to two other people. ;)
