Colorado Springs, CO (January 20, 2025) – Focus on the Family is proud to announce the release of the 1,000th episode of the beloved audio drama Adventures in Odyssey. The episode, titled “Kris-Crossed, Part 1,” will be featured in the 78th album of Adventures in Odyssey, At Face Value, set to release in March 2025.
Since its inception in 1987, Adventures in Odyssey has provided families with stories that combine biblical truths, moral lessons, and memorable characters. Through the residents of Odyssey, millions of listeners worldwide have been encouraged to deepen and become rooted in their faith. The series has sold over two million physical copies and currently airs on 1,148 radio stations, reaching an estimated 290,000 listeners each week.
As Adventures in Odyssey approaches its 1000th episode, the show’s creators reflect on this achievement. Marshal Younger, a writer on the show since 1992, shared, “If you look at a list of dramatic TV or radio shows that have reached the 1000th-episode mark, that list is very, very short. A lot of really incredible things have to happen in order for a show to have this kind of longevity. That is definitely true of Adventures in Odyssey. There is no other explanation for it other than that God has had His hands on us as the creators and on the loyal audience as its listeners since the beginning. It is one of the greatest honors of my life to have been a part of it.”
