Classic Episodes of AIO now playing

February 14, 2008

I have always been a fan of Adventures in Odyssey. It started all the way back when Focus on the Family aired their “Family Portraits.” I remember listening to those early shows on the radio as well as one tapes of recordings we made. My family listened faithfully every Saturday morning at eight (right after “Kids of God’s Kingdom” and “Your Story Hour”). And when the “re-runs” starting playing weekday evenings we listened to most of them as well.

By the time I has in highschool, I started to hit and miss the new weekly shows. New characters were introduced and new story lines were developed. Ever since then I have had a hard time getting back into it.

Adventures in Odyssey is now celebrating 20 years, and that makes me feel really old. Since my favorite episodes are the old “classics” I am excited that they are starting to play them on the daily show. This past week they played “Whit’s Flop,” “The life of the party,” “Connie comes to town,” and “Promises promises,” episodes 1, 2, 4, & 7. In the coming days the schedule includes “The Tangled Web,” and later this month “Family Vacation 1 & 2.”

Since I am stingy and don’t care to purchase these shows (and since I have a long history of recording them off the radio) I have found a way of capturing the streaming audio and creating my own MP3s. I use a little toolbar application called Freecorder. Needless to say, I am recording as many of these old favorites as I can so I can share them with my kids; I hope they like them too.
