118 - A Whit In a Manger [Whit’s Endless Summer 31]
Added 2023-12-20 07:00:06 +0000 UTCThe lads celebrate the peak of the Arguing Season by returning once again to Odyssey for more adventures in being called to the ministry, making a radio drama, and visiting Bethlehem just so you can be harassed by Roman douchebags. Topics include the vanishing of the Barclays, the brilliance of Will Ryan, and what it means to celebrate the Nativity while Gaza turns to rubble.

My headcanon is that all the No No Door sacrifices are in preparation for Eugene's ascension to the church

2024-06-05 08:05:56 +0000 UTCAlso, as a former girl who still wants to fuck richard maxwell, I didn’t expect to be scalped and gagged in my own home. Which one of you fuckers commented on at least two (2) of my aio hornyposts advertising this podcast? It worked, but hey 😠

2024-01-04 05:07:44 +0000 UTCI mean, if Whit isn’t gonna fuck Digital Blackgaard… it’d be a shame to let that go to waste. (Also I’m starting a rumor that Scott Cawthon definitely stole the idea for Glitchtrap from aio, now that AJ has made the prediction it’s not spoilers)

2024-01-01 13:27:26 +0000 UTCBrian’s whole speech at the end was BEAUTIFUL. I think more people need to hear it. Merry Christmas to all .

2023-12-28 20:07:26 +0000 UTCIn reference to the mazel tov misunderstanding. I got to around 16 or 17 thinking molotov cocktails were called mazel tov cocktails, just based on the pronunciation and assumed they came to notoriety as a weapon by Jewish fighters in World War 2

2023-12-25 07:56:33 +0000 UTCWeirdly, the stories of the Judges are almost always presented as Kids Radio news stories, like in the Sodom and Gomorrah episode.
The Worst of all Possible Worlds
2023-12-23 19:18:01 +0000 UTCThis raises the question, is there an imagination station setting that would make a child participate in the conquest of cannan or killing Philippines with the judges.

2023-12-22 13:51:23 +0000 UTCDid not expect to get triggered listening to some nosey church busybody asking a child in That Tone® when they were going to start in the ministry, yet here we are. Can also anecdotally attest to the difficulty they're having finding replacements for pastors at these small evangelical churches that are really just entrepreneurial adventures for A Certain Kind Of Man® who has confused being "clever," vaguely charismatic, white, and (usually) tall with Having Heard From God. And they're confused as to why they cannot seem to breed their way to sustainablity...
shinji's got the yips
2023-12-22 03:10:04 +0000 UTCHappy Holidays to you and your Gokus

2023-12-21 23:49:19 +0000 UTCOmg. I had Back to Bethlehem on cassette tapes when I was really young, so hearing this is going to bring back so many earworms

2023-12-21 23:49:01 +0000 UTCI actually grew up with the cast recording from the '92 Donny Osmond revival of Dreamcoat on rotation with Odyssey & Veggietales & other evangelical media as if it was of that same ecosystem - I'm not sure I even knew it was a play instead of just an album - and I'm sure I'm not alone in that experience. In fact I suspect Dreamcoat's pop-culture pastiche and non-heretical irreverence is a formative wellspring for a lot of the American protestant kid's media playbook - at the very least I don't think it's a coincidence that every Veggietales episode that tells a bible story is more of a riff on Dreamcoat than it is the Bible; ditto for those horrible cursed megachurch plays and the whole Vacation Bible School industrial complex. I'd love to hear an episode from y'all on it not just because of this angle but because I'm always interested to hear theater people's take on this show, because most theater people have a history with it too but a totally different parallel history from mine.

2023-12-21 23:47:00 +0000 UTCDonna truly is the Susan Pevensie of Adventures in Odyssey. spectacular episode lads, please do not make them all like this

2023-12-21 15:34:25 +0000 UTCI really, really hate these people’s idea of how Jews speak

2023-12-21 10:42:54 +0000 UTCWell done Bryan <3

2023-12-21 10:29:26 +0000 UTCThis might be the best episode so far. Love the chaos energy
Yura
2023-12-21 06:51:02 +0000 UTCAlso where did you get the organ recording of Imogen Heap
Morgan Byrd
2023-12-21 04:14:26 +0000 UTCAs the owner of an actual pipe organ emporium I just want to say that you should please come in and play the older models - those are my resume!
Morgan Byrd
2023-12-21 04:13:55 +0000 UTCI love how you guys are explaining the background of Adventures in Odyssey to potential new listeners but none of your bits. Brian keeps doing the setup to his leather bar joke with no payoff

2023-12-21 02:42:15 +0000 UTCRIP James Randy, a couple of his friends do the podcast Oh No Ross And Carrie, which does some awesome investigations into various pseudo sciences and cults.
im so daddy i havent slept in a year

2023-12-20 20:59:55 +0000 UTCI fucking cried. Thanks, Brian.
On Borrowed Time
2023-12-20 18:06:12 +0000 UTCWe didn't have a TV growing up but I would listen to just the audio of the Simpsons on my dad's ham radio. It absolutely works as a radio drama. I remember the sounds of groundkeeper Willie chasing Lisa through a junkyard in the episode the girly edition to this day.

2023-12-20 17:43:42 +0000 UTCI really appreciate how Lorne is haunted by Imogen Heap in the interstitials. I've gained a whole new love for that song.

2023-12-20 16:54:48 +0000 UTCThe "we're all wearing turtlenecks" and "gotta do something about all these broads in church" bits had me cackling.

2023-12-20 15:29:57 +0000 UTCYou can tell that Katrina's family aren't Christian because they eat brunch. I think it's proof of Will Ryan's charisma and skill as an actor that he has me thinking "We love a guy who says 'heretofore'" "The PTA Disbands" is a straight banger of an episode
