This time the focus of the show is the Jonathan Park series of audio dramas. The three of us are new to this series, but we jump in and review the most recent album Jonathan Park Volume VII - The Voyage Beyond. As always, Roy brings us up to date with a newscast. And, of course, the show is sprinkled with a typical dose of humor and wisecracks.

This episode picks up in the mailroom. We had so much mail last time that we couldn't get through it all. After the mail, we jump into our review of LifeHouse Theater On-The-Air's production entitled Hiding In Plain Sight. This is a great audio drama that you won't want to miss out on. Finally, we cap off the show with Roy offering up the obligatory newscast. (And a fine job he did too.)

Today, Roy delivers a stellar newscast, we review Lamplighter Theatre's stellar production, Teddy's Button, and then we head down to the mailroom to read mail from our stellar listeners. Of course that is an over-simplification of this stellar episode so you'll just have to listen to it to experience it for yourself.

We return after our hiatus with (almost) a full hour of ATC goodness. Or something like that. Anyway, we give our opinions on Adventures in Odyssey Album #54 Clanging Cymbals...And the Meaning of God's Love, we share how we voted in the Album 54 Avery Awards, we tell about the forthcoming ATC Playlist (a list of essential audio dramas on a road trip), and Roy offers up an outstanding newscast.

Roy brings lots of news for the Top 3 on this episode. JD, Roy, & Andrew also introduce you to the Spirit Blade Productions' drama called Pilgrim's Progress: Similitude of a Dream, which is, of course, based on the John Bunyan classic. This is the first part in a series which will cover the entire story of Pilgrim's Progress with a bit of a sci-fi twist. We also interview Paeter Frandsen, the founder of Spirit Blade Productions and writer/director of Pilgrim's Progress.UPDATE: We need to correct something that we said during the review. We mentioned that the name for God in Pilgrim's Progress, "The Absolute", was also used in the Spirit Blade Trilogy. That is, in fact, not correct. The name for God that is used in the Spirit Blade Trilogy is "The Only." Thanks for catching our mistake, Paeter! -JDWhat are your thoughts on the topics we addressed in this episode?
