Hi, this is Paul Hurliger. I'm the voice of John Avery Whitaker, and I want to welcome everyone to this podcast.

Welcome to the official Adventures in Odyssey podcast. I'm your host Jesse,

editor of Focus on the Family Clubhouse Magazine, and this is the November 1st 2006 edition.

Coming up on the podcast, we'll have a Q&A with some of the writers of Adventures in Odyssey,

well, we'll ask them some of your questions about the show. We'll also hear a preview of

an upcoming episode, and maybe have some surprises too. Well, without further ado, here's Nathan.

Well, thanks, Jesse. I'm here with Odyssey producers Marshall Younger.

Good to see you, and Dave Arnold.

II, then he's probably in his mid 80s now. But the real answer to that question is that Odyssey

time does not make sense. I mean, yes, Connie has been on the air for 20 years now, and hasn't

really changed the image. She's aged a couple of years. She's aged a couple of years, but not 20

years. And so Odyssey age just does not make sense, and I'm kind of done trying to make it make

sense. As long as people don't go backward, I'm happy with it. Yes. Oh, well, yeah, if Connie suddenly

turned 12, that would be it. There's your answer, Jeremy. I hope that answered that question for you.

Our next question here is from Denise age 41, who is a little outside our target age range,
