Hi there, Odyssey fans. Welcome to the official Adventures in Odyssey podcast. I'm Bob.

And I'm Jesse. Well, Bob, here we are at the end of another album.

Yeah, album 57 was certainly an eventful one. We had Camilla visiting Samuel in the

Imagination Station. Connie and Penny in Eugene's chemistry class.

Jay, teaching Riley how to make friends? Yeah, teaching is one way to put it. Emily and Matthew

investigating a mystery at a circus. Connie, adjusting to life after her mom passed away.

Ah, that was emotional for me too. And finally, Jeff, Ava and Lily going on an adventure to South

America. Well, now that the album's over, you know what that means. It's time for the Avery Awards.

Yep, it's been a year since our last award show. So if you've never seen or heard one,

it's our listeners chance to vote for best episode, best actor and actress, best sound, best scene,

and best script. And to tell us what they thought about the season.

Voting for the Avery's opens today and we'll be announcing the nominees later in the podcast.

So be sure to keep listening. Now Jesse, it also wouldn't be an end of season here on the podcast.

If we didn't talk to Dave Arnold and Paul McCusker.

Yeah, I just wouldn't feel any closure for the season if we didn't hear from them.

We asked for questions. And as usual, you delivered fans sent in questions about album 57,

upcoming albums and everything going on at Odyssey. So now let's hear from Dave and Paul.

Paul, I think most people know that I'm the executive producer of the show. They may not know what

that means, but most people have no idea what your title is, which is Creative Director or what

that means. So why don't you give us a little bit of a clue about that? Well, that's a very good

question, Dave. And as soon as I come up with an answer, I'll get back to everybody on that.

Actually, I think my job is to direct people to be creative. So let's do that now.
