It’s Always an Adventure When You’re in Odyssey

A long-running Christian audio drama is moral without being moralizing.

Many of us have unrealistic bucket-list items, and these could range from a desire to meet Aslan to flying in a P-51 Mustang piloted by Tom Cruise. One of mine? To eat raspberry-ripple ice cream at the counter of Whit’s End and have a long chat with the owner, John Avery Whitaker.

Whit is a central character in Adventures in Odyssey, a family-oriented audio drama produced by Focus on the Family that’s now well into its third decade on the air. Commanding the vocal talents of Katie Leigh, Hal Smith, Will Ryan, and many others, as well as the writing abilities of Paul McCusker, Phil Lollar, Marshal Younger, and more, the show captures hearts and imaginations in delightful ways.
