ODYSSEY OWL (interview with the Perilous Pen)

Greetings and Salutations to my new blog post series, the ODYSSEY OWL.

Today I will be interviewing my fellow AIO fan, The Perilous Pen ! And without further ado, here is my interview with The Perilous Pen.

When was the first time you started listening to AIO?

Okie. I’ve been listening to AIO since I was born. My dad listened to it a bit on the radio in college and got it for my oldest brother. We’ve never stopped.

Ooo nice.
What made you want to have a blog?

I first saw the idea of an AIO blog from the blog/podcast Welcome to Odyssey . I thought the idea was super cool and I started looking into it more. I loved these ideas, and since I already did alot of the ‘post’ ideas at home for my best friend, I figured ‘what if I just make a blog, and post them there?’

Cool! Have you ever had a crush on a character or actor from AIO?

100% There have been a few lol but I think the first one was Jared.

I think most of us have.

Lol, yea.

What’s your favorite episode(s)?

Umm.. I’m not sure I have a favorite episode, but the Novacom episodes and any episode with the Washingtons are high on my list.

Novacom episodes are the best!

Yes, 100%.

If you could change something from AIO what would you change? And what do you want for the future of Odyssey

I would say I would change Mr. Whittaker. Whit has always set the tone of the town and has been the ‘God/Aslan’ figure of Odyssey. But his character/the way he’s been writing has changed so much, and it’s more of an ‘I’m right, and can do no wrong’ instead of ‘I’m going to be a servant-leader’. I’m not exactly sure what I want for the future of Odyssey, but will say that I think the writers should take note from the Novacom/Hal Smith/Paul Herlinger era of Odyssey.

Yes, I totally agree. I also would say it has do with a lot of the directing.

What villian would you like to see come back?

While Richard Maxwell is no longer considered a villian, definately Richard Maxwell. (A common oppinion I know.) He was one of the best, slimiest characters, and I definately grew to absolutely hate then love him. But villian wise, 100% the ‘chairman’ from Novacom. They can do so much with his character still.

Ahhhh I love Richard Maxwell!!

Ik! 🙂 (it’s been your status for like a week lol)

Yeah…😅 {Status from discord. If you want to join a group of AIO Fans come to the discord chat AIO Hangout, created by the owner of the AIO Insider.}

Here’s the last question, What do you want to see more from Odyssey?

I’d like to see more Imagination Station adventures/Bible stories. Also it would be INCREDIBLE if they brought back O.T. Action News. I think it would be a cool bonding experieve for the kids in Odyssey to do a project like that together (not to mention Jay would receieve his every so desired spotlight.) I’d also like to see more of the original Whit’s End. “Where Kids (of all ages) can be kids.” Becasue it’s been changed so much recently. It seems like there is ’a dark cloud over Odyssey’ (to quote Jack Allen) And their expecting kids to grow up sooner than they should. I’d also love to see more family episodes, with families doing things together, and the kids doing normal things, like homework, and hanging out, and bored games, and just normal kid stuff. (Sorry that was a long answer lol)

It was long, but I do see your point. I hope they make more Imagination Station adventures, they are some of my favorites.

Same, I love those episodes!

Any last words for my readers?

I hope you enjoyed this post! Mel, you’re great and thank you so much for letting me do this post with you! Rock on 🤟
and this is your daily reminder to try not to get into fights with alligators.
