AIO Writer’s Block Newsletter- January 11th, 2025
AIO Thought of the Week:I don’t like Derek. Also, it was such a weird decision to make his last name Barkley. He’s a new character they didn’t have to. Also, am I the only one who kinda shipped Donna with Eric Myers? I know most people liked her and Jack, but setting aside that, they could ha

My Snow Day Episodes
We’ve never published a content guide for January, and that’s not necessarily an accident. Our Christmas guide has always included winter episodes, so the need to add a separate guide would be duplicative. Additionally, this month has a unique absence of its own holidays, with the exception of o

“Better Buck Next Time, Part 2” – A Rant.
Phew! It’s been a while since an episode has made me want to slap characters in said episode! (I’m normally pretty chill about things.) So here goes my chocolate-fueled rant about the nonsense that went on here! I want to start by saying, I didn’t like Marla from Part 1 Polehaus can

Four Years Ago… 😱
*pops out from quicksand pit to make this post* It’s hard to believe that the start of this was four years ago. That’s…that’s the time it takes someone to get a bachelor’s degree! To finish high school! Wow! I feel honestly underqualified to be making this post because I have barely

Editorial 73: A Christmas Compilation
Adventures in Odyssey does a great job with Christmas episodes. It’s hard for me to separate the holiday from the show, because so many of my Christmas memories are associated with Odyssey. (And not just because I would get the albums as gifts.) When I think of Christmas, I can’t help but

The Ultimate Adventures in Odyssey Christmas Episode Guide (2024 Edition)
