I am confused to.What is this for??
Olivia on May 20th, 2010 - 10:18am
I think you totally didn’t get the right voice for Emily, no offence. She has too high of a voice to play Emily. When I read their stories in Clubhouse, I never picute her having a squeaky voice. She has a nice voice, but WAY too girly to play Emily.
Nen on May 20th, 2010 - 10:21am
Eugene Meltsner is the best of all!
Kyle on May 20th, 2010 - 11:30am

Reese on May 21st, 2010 - 7:51pm
I can’t wait for part 3 of the Jubilee Singers
jonathan on May 22nd, 2010 - 12:23am
the one that i like is the inspiration station when Connie Kendall wants to stay there and she finds out that God doesn’t want her to. this show made me cry very hard at the end. Katie Leigh did a great job of bringing out what we all feel at times. at the end she finds out how much she has grown-up and how much god has done through her life! I thought the acting was great.
YOUR fAN!!! on May 22nd, 2010 - 6:49am
Mandisa is awsome! She truly has a heart to serve the Lord. I enjoyed listeneing to her podcast. I first saw her in concert two years ago, and I have listened to her ever since. She is great!

Odyssey LOVE on May 22nd, 2010 - 5:01pm
I think the best scene is in “Basset Hounds” when wootin inherits his grandpa’s desk chair. I can’t decide if Connie or Whit though.The best line of dialog is when {in “Basset Hounds” wootin yells “Score !!!” THe best episode is “Basset Hounds” as far as sound script and everything. It’s soooo cool!
Abigail on May 22nd, 2010 - 5:44pm

i like the jubillee singers!
Jaguar J on May 24th, 2010 - 7:39pm
It’s really hard because I like all the album 51 episodes. I’d have to say,though that the episode Clutter stood out for me. I don’t know the name of the actor who plays Mr. Parker but I like how he portrayed the character not yelling even though his kids were and in general just his overall tone.
Jaguar J on May 24th, 2010 - 7:45pm
The most memorable scene for me was when the sprinklers went off during the garage sale! That was a really good touch.
Also from Jubilee Singers 1 when Olivia first meets Fred Douglas (the portrait).
And props to Andre Stojka as Whit! I think he’s doing a great job adding a new dimension to the character while retaining the same basic “whit” feel. That really came out in the first two episodes.
PRASILLA on May 24th, 2010 - 9:58pm
i LOVE adventures in odyssey 🙂 cause my name is in one of the epposodses:) keep doing what your doing and god bless every one and be ready for the rapture cause you dont want to be left behind:)
MATT on May 24th, 2010 - 10:06pm
They should be called the “Oddy Awards”. It has a triple meaning. First, it’s the first part of Odyssey. Second, they’re “odd” awards. And third, it’s homophonous with the “Audie Awards” which, FOTF Radio Theater is currently vying for.
Rebecca on May 25th, 2010 - 12:18am
I think my favourite episode would have to be The impossible and favourite actor is Eugene!!!! he is amazing!!!
God Bless you
Katy on May 25th, 2010 - 8:19am
Sammi-Kate,
OK so I’m a little bit confused by the whole awards thing too…it seems almost like, I don’t know, like they don’t really tell us what the exact point is. Anyway, I took the link to aiowiki and put my answers there. You can ust tell them what your favorites (actor, actress, etc.)are and then I guess we’ll all be voting starting June 2nd! 🙂

Oh, i didn’t get it b4. Has eugene’s hair grown back yet?
Lu on May 27th, 2010 - 10:51am
Best Actor: EUGENE!
Best scene: ALL OF THEM!
He is a VERY talented actor! Some of u may not know this but, did u know that Will Ryan talked the voice of Chris at the beginning and end of one of the episodes because Chris was sick-I am not sure I have actually heard the episode, but I heard a clip from it and Will Ryan spoke her part with such preciseness. Will Ryan should get this award. He has been long deserving it. All the best to Will Ryan!

Princess,
Someone may have alread answere ur question and u did ask this a while back but, sometimes, the episodes get posted on the wrong dates. So, it might have looked like the part 3 was there but maybe it wasn’t.
Hope this helps,
Lu
bROOKE on May 27th, 2010 - 2:54pm
Woo-Hoo Mandisa. I have your CD and I love it. I love the way you shared the Gospel with Simon after he made fun of you on American Idol. You are a great roll model for all of us.
God Bless,
Brooke

I think the awards name should be “The Odyssey Awards”
Lisa on May 29th, 2010 - 8:58am
I really enjoyed the episodes with the Fisk Jubilee singers. I was a wonderful walk through history. I did not know about the Fisk singers, but I knew about the University. I’m also an amatuer musician, I’ve been singing in choirs all my life. Well anyways it was a pleasant and wonderful suprise and ending to the season. Hope that you will do more episodes like this in the future. I still miss the imagination station, but the talking photo was still good. Well look forward to the next season.
marie on May 29th, 2010 - 2:33pm
I love whit and ugene and wooton their so funny lol hahaha

Joe B on May 29th, 2010 - 5:18pm
Mandisa is one of my favorite music artist… when is the next album going 2 be released?
I think the best episodes were the Jubilee Singers. I enjoyed the Inspiration Station series 2.
Best scene was in the inspiration station 2 when Connie felt like no one cared for her and she realized how much she inspired others.
Best actor (i’m assuming you mean the new actors)i actually like the Abuelita the most
Joe B on May 29th, 2010 - 5:19pm
Oh and the best line of diolouge is when Mr. White was encouraging the jubilee singers
MIACHIC!! on May 29th, 2010 - 5:23pm
Best episode is Best of Enimies
HORSE LOVER on May 29th, 2010 - 5:34pm
Best scene: When Connie accepts Jesus into her heart.
Best actor and actoress: Eugene and Connie of course!
Best line of dialog: Hmmmmmmm……… Can I wait on that one?
Thank you!

Joshua on June 1st, 2010 - 7:30am
Odyssey Team, I was looking at buying album 51 around the 21st, and it was on sale at 12.49. And I was going to wait a day to see if that was really what I wanted, but the sale went down so now it is more expensive, and I’ve been waiting to buy it because I knew there would be a better sale after it got done airing on radio. Don’t get me wrong it is a great sale right now ($14.99) but I wanted to buy it at 12.49, so what I am asking is could you make the price what it was for even one more day.
Sorry, but we’re not able to change the price. If you have questions requiring a personal response, please write us at questions@whitsend.org.
josh on June 1st, 2010 - 9:56am

I know it’s too late to vote, but I just want to say I LOVE the scene in “Nothing but the Half Truth” where Wooten tries to record the voice message. I actually made the part about the Christmas tree in mine, and my friends think it’s HILLARIOUS!
josh on June 16th, 2010 - 12:00pm
Like I said before, I think Wooton is the best
actor! I love the episodes with him in them!

candace on June 19th, 2010 - 6:01pm
Is it true that you are going to make a Blackgaard saga, Or do you have one already? I thought I herd it somewhere.
I hope you are going to.
marcos on June 30th, 2010 - 9:57pm

capt.marvel on December 18th, 2013 - 12:11pm
i think that Iron Man Captain America and Thor together are unbeatable.I mean,you have Captain America’s tactical knowledge and martial arts skill,Iron Man’s technology,
And Thor’s super strength and Hammer together they can take on anybody.

Iroman on December 19th, 2013 - 5:25pm
Good Black Widow your probably the only one who’s listening to me and not fighting like Thor, Hulk, and IronmanBlack Widow is it Loki? I hope not though. If it is, than start getting the hellecarrier ready we need to stop him…. Again. We need agent Collson, were is he? Hulk, Thor, and ironman stop fighting for the 2nd time or you guys might destroy the hellecarrier.
