We take a look at Goliath: King of Shadow Valley from the Paws & Tales series today. This is a short story arc consisting of 5 episodes from the show which were repackaged into a stand-alone album. Goliath tells the story of PawPaw Chuck's early days in Wildwood. Also in this edition of the podcast we respond to some feedback from Michael, Richard and Darren. And we take a few moments to mention our 4th birthday! But before all of that, Roy gives another packed newscast.

We discuss the question of whether or not a full cast audiobook is the same thing as an audio drama production. As we go through our own thoughts on the issue, we weave in some feedback from Jerry Robbins from the Colonial Radio Theatre on the same topic. Jerry shared some writing samples with us that we decide to perform as an illustration. We also answer some questions from Christopher and Will. And for those of you who endure to the end...well...you'll just have to listen.

Focus on the Family Radio Theatre released C.S. Lewis At War: The Dramatic Story Behind Mere Christianity at the end of 2013 and that is our topic of discussion today. This audio drama is very different from any previous Radio Theatre production and while it may not appeal to younger listeners, we think that it is an amazing story that adults and teens will still find entertaining. Roy also has a newscast that is chock-full of Adventures in Odyssey news. And we check out some feedback from Jane and Christopher. Lastly, Andrew gives a review of the Odyssey Adventure Club.
