some of my AIO ramblings, plus my latest Odyssey acquisition!
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!

- Gifts for Madge and Guy: I'll admit it, I never used to like this episode much, mostly because it was silly, and when I was little I often didn't get (or appreciate) most of the humor. Now, however, I like it a lot more. One line still baffles me, though: "Ethel was lying where the porch used to be."
How can you not understand that? It's simple. They sold the porch and she probably forgot, so when she tried to go inside, she fell on the ground where the porch used to be. lol.
Oh, I understand how she got there; what makes me frown in puzzlement is why she was still lying there a considerable amount of time later. I guess it's just one of the oddities of the episode!

I actually recently listened to it while mowing the lawn and caught some things that I had previous missed.
You listened while mowing your lawn?!
Loud..........

My original reason for starting this topic was to talk about my new rare Odyssey tape, but now I have another reason, so this thread isn't entirely purposeless
At one point there was a thread where somebody posted a site that had almost every really lost episode on it. There I heard "Career Moves", I think it was "Sticks and Stones" (Goes and gets the official guide) and also heard "Lights out at Whit's End"
It was like "Odyssey fan" something or other I think. If only I could remember the site.
Yeah, that's it. I found it in my bookmarks. Tried putting it up here, but for some reason it didn't show up on the page.
I agree about feeling kind of guilty, listening to the episodes on here and stuff, but how else should we listen to these long lost episodes?

Hunt them down. I've written to Focus, and they assured me that I can'y get any of those episodes from them. However, them gave me Christmas Around the World, and BTV: Grace. I also search ebay very often for new finds such as the Odyssey USA album I found.
In fact, there is a rare lot ending in 35 minuted that I'm current;y bidding on.
There is nothing illegal or wrong with listening to the episodes that are rightfully available on odysseyfan's website. Since those episodes are not and will never be purchaseable and the AIO staff knows about the website and hasn't asked to have the episodes removed, there's nothing wrong with it.

Agreed, but aren't all episodes their copyright?
At the end of every episodes chris says, "Adventures in Odyssey is a presntation of Focus on the Family"?

Just my opinion...
Right, but they've been released to the public and are no longer being sold, therefore he has the right to do with them what he wishes, unless they ask him to take them down, that would be where their copyrights come into play: they have the right to ask him to remove them and if he didn't comply, they could take legal action, however since they haven't asked such, he has the right to share them due to the fact that they're not being sold anymore.

Actually, it is illegal and Focus can ask him to take the site down at any time. They've done this in the past; a few years ago there was someone selling bootlegs of the entire Odyssey USA album; Focus asked them to stop.
On the other hand, Focus (or its representatives) clearly know about the site; several AIO staff writers watch this forum as well as the entire AIO online community. Clearly they aren't that concerned about the site.
Whether or not it is immoral to download from this site is up to your conscience I suppose.
If I may, I suggest that, if you download from this site (or get AIO episodes anywhere for free), you send Focus a donation of at least $2 for every episode you get.
