Return to Odyssey

Hey, we're back!

This week, Josh and Rachel bring you another Connie Kendall episode titled "Promises Promises," which explores the reality of sin nature and still manages to be a lighthearted romp. We delve into airport panhandlers, classic riddles, and the importance of the gospel for Christians as well as those not saved. There may or may not also be a serenade from the eighties.

Hi Everyone!

We recently collaborated with Lee Acim of AIO Audio News to review the episode "Light's Out at Whit's End."

Check it out here: https://aioaudionews.com/2020/08/29/review-lights-out-at-whits-end/

They can't all be winners, we suppose. In this episode, Josh and Rachel encounter the first Odyssey episode they've truly disliked, "The Day After Christmas." Along the way they discuss toy fads from the '80s, the danger of stereotypes, and the importance of character motivation.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. We had a crazy couple weeks. But, we're back to critique another episode: "Gifts for Mage and Guy," a personal favorite in both Josh and Rachel's memory. Will it stand the test of time? Subjects covered include principles of comedy writing, hastily abandoned characters, and discrepancies within Biblical genealogies.
