In this podventure, we discuss the episode “But, You Promised,” in which Robyn Jacobs gets herself into a series of messes because of some seemingly innocuous fibs. Mess #1: her bike is stolen. Mess #2: her friends get mad at her. Mess #3: two nice Italian men are arrested and interrogated by the police. We’re gonna be honest, it’s not one of AIO’s finest. Also, high context/low context cultures, vibe check folly, and corporate LIES (not that kind).

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “That’s Not Fair,” in which Connie, Oscar, and Donna each share their own tales of unfairness with Whit. Whit, in his wisdom, has just the sort of scheme to show them what “fairness” truly means. Also, Connie loses her human alarm clock, Oscar becomes big brother, and Donna learns that sometimes, homework assignments are more than just homework assignments.

Editor's Note: This episode was recorded prior to the year-long hiatus.

In November 2021, we decided to go on a nice little winter hiatus. And what a long winter it has been! But at last we emerge out of hibernation, shaking the snow off our backs and the dust off our microphones. Listen in to this update for more details!

Here's another quick life update from the Podventures Team! Wow, it sure has been awhile, hasn't it? We're here letting you know what some of those life events are which kept us from podcasting for so long. Don't worry, this is still just a hiatus, we don't plan on stopping until we've delivered all that sweet Odyssey recap content. Though we can't provide an exact date on when we'll return just yet, just know that we're taking steps to make recording again a real possibility!

Hello, Podventurers! We hope you've been faring well during our absence and wish you all the best. While we're still hard at work on our end setting things in order so we can get back to podcasting, in the meantime, we wanted to share a little treat with you all.

This week, we're bringing you something a little different. Some of you may remember us talking on the podcast about taking a pilgrimage to Whit's End. Well, at the end of last summer, we finally made it over the mountains and into beautiful Colorado! This episode is a collection of audio clips we recorded during our trip, capturing moments of adventure, discovery, and excitement along the way. Also, lots of amateur foley work.

We hope you enjoy coming along as we explore Colorful Colorado.

We've also shared pictures from our journey through Colorado on our reddit, if you would like to follow along there.

Just a quick life update from the Podventures Team! We're going to be taking a brief winter break in light of the Christmas holidays and other various life events going on. This will give us time to rebuild our episode buffer so we can deliver the best quality possible of those sweet, sweet recaps and discussions.

We will make another announcement when we are approaching the end of our hiatus. In the meantime, go back and listen to those episodes you skipped (we know you all went straight to the Blackgaard arc - so would we), find another Odyssey podcast and give them a listen, or just enjoy some classic Odyssey episodes!

See you in the new year, Cat's Paws!

Editor's Note: Emilee took a nap and forgot to schedule this episode, so it's a few hours late.

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “Elijah, Part 2,” in which Robyn and Jack continue their separate adventures through 2 Kings, culminating with the most famous scene in the book. But the drama doesn’t end there. Queen Jezebel is still out to get those kids! Will they survive the wrath of the queen? Good thing this is all taking place in the Imagination Station. Also, appropriate biblical censorship and some home-style discussion questions.

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “Elijah, Part 1,” in which Robyn and Jack take the brand new two-seater Imagination Station for a spin before it’s ready, with unintended consequences. They’re dropped separately into the middle of 2 Kings, Robyn into the hands of the evil queen Jezebel, and Jack into the company of the prophet himself. Also, hilarious dungeon comedy, increasing ominosity, and an outtake we should have taken out but didn’t.

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “Heat Wave,” in which Jack learns a lesson in not letting his imagination run away with him. When the days are hot and the kids are bored, super sleuth (or average gumshoe) Jack Davis sets his sights on the trail of a mysterious kid with an armload of lumber and a knapsack. Also, internal monologues, bias in artificial intelligence, and universe-breaking meta jokes.

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “Good Business,” in which Robin attempts to make money without having to work for it. To that end, Robin hires Jack and Oscar as lawn mowing employees at her major corporation, Robin’s Rotors. But when her employees go on strike, Robin has to learn a hard lesson about the value of hard work. Also, labor unions, the value of administrative work, the difference between work and toil, and American hustle culture.
