OAC Club How can it Be made better?

 


    I think the club is great, I have never owned an album because I never bought one and just listened online. What got me were the bonus episodes, and I also like the magazine subscriptions. So I paid the money and got access to almost all the episodes and I listened to all the club episodes. However the Club can be infuriating to people who do not have access or do not want to pay 100 dollars, or have almost all the albums and do not want to pay. 


1. Lower Priced Tier 

    This price would allow access for about three dollars to hear only the Club episodes, and maybe the magazine. This would allow for a price of 3*12mo = 36 dollars a year.  A good price for people who already own the albums to pay and get the extra episodes for around 30 dollars. The price of a new album is around 15 dollars. A new album has 6 episodes so two albums 6*2=12 episodes 12 episodes = 30 dollars. (Nowadays if you were to buy an old 12 episode album it is around 20 dollars) This seems like a fair price. 


2. Free Downloads

    One of the gripes of the Club is that you do not own the episodes, you just stream them. If Odyssey gave you the ability to get 12 free albums to download per year, and then get them a a discounted price (say 5 dollars). I was thinking 1 dollar but I found out the price of an album is 15 dollars. I believe that this would allow people to be able to quell fears of not being able to own episodes, and it would be a nice perk of the club. 12 albums are priced at 15 dollars would be 180 dollars So this would add good value to the 100 dollar club. Also this is digital media, so the price would not be dictated by the price of materials. 


3. Allow Club Episodes on Radio

    In stead of keeping club episodes only in the club, AIO could allow a few of the Club episodes (the latest and best albums on the off times that AIO is not producing albums. Instead of running through all the old episodes over and over again. My favorite episodes are There and Back Again, which is in the club. The club would still have value if they offered digital downloads and the magazine. (The magazine should be digital in the club adding even more value.) 


4. Allow episodes to be longer. If an AIO episode has to be cut for time for radio that's fine, but the Club is paid and does not have limits, so that would improve the Club immensely.   


5. Less Club Episodes

    The Club could have 6 instead of 12 episodes. This would allow the albums to have at least 8 or 12 episodes in an album. This would allow for more character development across the board. 


Thanks for reading. 



      Jesus Loves You 


    Sin doesn’t go away on it’s own. Somebody has to pay for it. Who could it be? God knew there was only one choice: His own Son Jesus. Jesus came to earth and did something we could never do: He obeyed perfectly. He never messed up. He never even had a bad thought. But He still took the horrible punishment for sin by dying on the cross. God put all of His anger on Jesus. Jesus didn’t deserve that! Why did He take the punishment for something He didn’t do? He did it so that you and I don’t have to. You mean we don’t have to pay for our own sins? Now that’s GOOD NEWS! 

    Jesus didn’t stay dead. After three days He rose again to show everyone He has the power to give eternal life. If we trust in Him, God has no more punishment for us. Instead He offers us eternal life in heaven. When Jesus takes the sin out of our hearts He puts something else in it’s place: His perfect life. God sees Jesus’ goodness in us instead of our badness. Jesus’ good days cover all of our yucky days.

   
He takes our bad out and puts His good in. Do you still mess up sometimes? Me too. But now we can have something we didn’t have before: forgiveness! Pray and ask God to forgive your sins because of what Jesus did. Instead of being guilty you’ll be forgiven. Now that’s not just good news – that’s the BEST news! Do you know how to look up verses in your Bible? Give these a try to read more about the best news ever. 

    John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Accept Christ today by admitting you are a sinner. Believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose again. Choose Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You are now a new Christian!!

Episode 602: Boy Was I right

Let's talk about episode 602. As some of you know, I think about school in a geopolitical sense all the time. This, and my work with the agency, has caused one of my most famous phrases, "Teenage dating is a threat to national security." Also, most of my values are rooted in AIO episodes!! I just re-listened to AIO episode 602, and boy does this episode prove me correct. The episode starts with a scene between Mandy and Trent at lunch. They talk, have some corny jokes, and Trent leaves to talk to Max. Trent wants to tell the truth about the Valentine to Mandy. Max then threatens Trent with blackmail. Trent then tells Connie about his crush and the Valentine he delivered on behalf of Max, and Connie writes it down, at the behest of Trent. Mandy then steals the essay, turns it into class, then it gets printed in the paper, Max finds out, goes on KYDS Radio, and Mandy, Trent, Liz all go to try to stop him. They argue, tell secrets about each other until they all realize the ...

Does Odyssey...Know What The NSA Does?

 The NSA, is America's famed digital spy agency.  Up until recently, the government denied it existence. However, we now have information about what they do and don't do. However, does Odyssey know this? Their go-to spy character, Jason Whittaker, works for the NSA but does the job of the FBI, NSA, CIA, and potentially the DIA.      Jason Whittaker plays a pivotal role in the Balackaard saga as a counter-terrorism agent investigating Red Scorpion in a Name not Number. The NSA does not really have counter-terrorism agents traveling all over the globe, however, they do have agent swho travel to spy on the communications networks of other countries. Tasha could have been doing thas and the agency sends Jason over there to rescue her so that is feasible.      In another episode, Jason produces a device that can hack into a computer via an IR port. WHile I have never seen such a device, the NSA does have devices that are not available to the public. It...

The Heavens Declare: Tech

             The Heavens Declare...that AIO is full of overlapping technology. Adventures in Odyssey released their latest episode 'The Heaves Declare' to the club on Friday. However, the tech used in the episode is interesting.       Rene Carter talks about the new gallery, which is enhanced with Imagination Station tech. This turns the talking picture frames....into a really big room with people in it...but why when the Room of Consequence already exists?? The episode has Rene talking to various historical Christian scientists, but it doesn't make sense that the room of consequence could not be used for that instead. Very interesting. Also in this upcoming album 'The Smouse Show' will be released with Jay in the Room of Consequence.    Jesus Loves You Sin doesn’t go away on it’s own. Somebody has to pay for it. Who could it be? God knew there was only one choice: His own Son Jesus. Jesus came to earth and did someth...
