Promo for the audio sitcom, Greenhorn Tales.

"Autumn Fires" was first published in 1885 in a volume titled Penny Whistles which contained over 60 poems, including "My Shadow", "The Lamplighter", and "The Land of Story-books". The collection was later re-titled A Child’s Garden of Verses and has been reprinted many times. Robert Louis Stevenson is, of course, well-known for his short stories and novels, such as the pirate adventure story, Treasure Island, which was published two years prior to the aforementioned poetry collection.

Tom Swift returns in Tom Swift and His Motorboat from the Colonial Radio Theatre. This nearly hour and a half audio dramatization of the classic novel is the main topic of conversation in this episode. The CRT did a wonderful job on this second Tom Swift audio drama and we really enjoyed it. We also have a jam-packed newscast from Roy, a few audio drama tidbits (including some free audio drama) and we address feedback from Lee, Sarah Grace, Amber and Rachel.

While she wrote dozens of poems, Emma Lazarus is most known for "The New Colossus" and information about much of her other work is scarce. Indeed, information regarding "Afternoon" is almost nonexistent online. This beautiful, narrative piece is filled with vivid visuals that draw the reader into the scene. It takes very little effort to feel as though one is walking alongside the unnamed "her" in the poem. Whether the woman Lazarus refers to is herself or if it is a more general usage of the pronoun we may never know. Regardless this is a wonderful poem which conveys an emotion that most of us can relate to in some way.

We review Album #62 of Adventures in Odyssey titled "Let's Put On A Show!" in this episode of the show. Be aware that this episode contains spoilers! Roy played hooky today so JD and Andrew are joined by Andrew's wife, Rebecca to help us talk Odyssey. We also have a few tidbits to share including a fun piece of audio that Austin Peachey produced called "You Might be An Odyssey Fan If..." The newscaster duties are handled by Andrew and we respond to some feedback from Amber and Angela.

American born, Jewish poet, Emma Lazarus wrote this now famous sonnet in 1883 for the purpose of aiding the Bartholdi Pedestal Fund for the Statue of Liberty as Lazarus notes on the original manuscript of the poem (pictured below). Unfortunately, she never saw the poem enshrined on Liberty Island as the plaque bearing the poem's text was not affixed to the pedestal wall until 1903; over a decade and a half after Lazarus' death in 1887. The title of the poem is a reference to the Colossus of Rhodes, a statue of the Greek sun-god, which was one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World.
