bring <strong>the</strong> whole family toge<strong>the</strong>r. It hosts<br />
an extensive library of award-winning<br />
audio dramas, which is <strong>the</strong> main draw<br />
for members. Episodes began being<br />
produced in 1987 and now span 36 years<br />
of stories about <strong>the</strong> people in <strong>the</strong> town<br />
of Odyssey.<br />
The weekly comic strips are a new digital<br />
benefit for being an Adventures in<br />

members. In it, you’ll meet John Avery<br />
Whittaker, Odyssey’s resident inventor<br />
and <strong>the</strong> owner of a soda shop<br />
called “Whit’s End.” Lovingly known<br />
as “Whit,” Mr. Whittaker dispenses ice<br />
cream and biblical advice. Meanwhile,<br />
Bart Rathb<strong>on</strong>e is <strong>the</strong> shady owner of<br />
<strong>the</strong> Electric Palace, an electr<strong>on</strong>ics store.<br />
Rodney is Bart’s s<strong>on</strong>, <strong>the</strong> local bully.<br />
Whit’s End is also home to <strong>the</strong><br />
Imaginati<strong>on</strong> Stati<strong>on</strong>. This exciting device<br />
teaches life less<strong>on</strong>s and places kids<br />
directly in <strong>the</strong> middle of historical events.<br />
We hope you enjoy reading this short<br />
comic adventure as a family.<br />
