Hi Odyssey fans, I'm Jesse, editor of Focus on the Family Clubhouse magazine.

And I'm Bob, producer of the Adventures in Odyssey Club.

Welcome to the official Adventures in Odyssey podcast.

First up on the podcast today, we're chatting with Natalie Lander.

Natalie plays Zoe Grant, Olivia's best friend.

She first appeared on the club's story Take It On Trust and she's had a bigger role in

album 63 and 64.

Let's hear from Natalie about singing as Kevin in a homolo musical,

playing a cheerleader on the middle and her dad playing a character on a classic sitcom.

Wow, we interview such interesting people.

Let's do it.

Natalie Lander, thank you for joining us in the podcast.

Oh, thanks for having me.

Now Natalie, you're an actor and you're from a long line of actors and artists.

In fact, your father, David Lander, played a role who I loved watching growing up squiggy

on LeVernon Shirley.

Oh, yeah.

And your mother, Kathy Fields, is an actor and photographer.

Plus, many of your other relatives are in the performing arts.

So was there any time growing up where you thought you'd do anything other than being an actor?

No.

Very simple answer.
