How old were you when you first heard AIO?

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!

I can't remember life without AIO. I have no idea how old I was, but I was too young, but I shared a room with my older sister, and she wanted to listen to them so I did too.

Or above the target range.

Well, ok, not many of us were, but that's not the point.

I THINK I was 5 or 6. But really, it seems much longer than that. My family has been listening to them for a long time, but the first time I listened to them by myself, was when I was 5 or 6. :)

I don't remember exactly how old I was, but I used to listen (and still do listen) to Adventures in Odyssey every night as I'm falling asleep. It's my way of settling down at night. So every once in a while, as I'm cycling through tapes I'll get this dejavu feeling that this might be one of the first ep's I listened to. But I don't exacltly remember. Probably fourish.

I don't really remember, somewhere between 8 and 11 I think. I loved Connie and still do.

I'm not trying to exclude you! I saw there's a few people well past 12 when the first listened but most of the posts here have people who were younger than 8 when they first listened.

I have four older siblings, so I have listened to AIO all my life.

I think that I was around eight or nine - I'm not sure. It was a long time ago, and I have a bad memory, so I don't know whether I heard the tapes or saw the movies first.

They used to show us the movies in my elementary school but I must've heard the tapes first because the movies weren't out when I got my first AIO tape. :)

When i was around nine or ten, we were at FOTF in colorado and they had a few older albums on sale. my mom thought they looked good and bought them. they became family favorites so we began adding to our collection. my brother and i are huge fans, and i listen almost every night. my dad listens to episode on the radio coming home from work.

I listened to it when I was extremely little- not sure how old, but I learned a lot of English from it when I was still about a baby I think.

I remember listening to AIO when I was really little and I though Laurence's mom was really mean because she didn't like his ultra-weird imaginations. I was probably about 4 or 5.

Well, I think I was about six, but it might have been earlier.

I was about six years old and at first I didn't like it, I guess I was too young, but now I love it
