  110. “Excelsior” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

    Sat, 04 May 2019 22:07:20 -0000

    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote the poem "Excelsior" in the early morning hours of September 28, 1841, and it was published for the first time in a periodical four months later. Excelsior is a Latin word which loosely translated means "ever upward" or "always higher". With that in mind, this poem could be interpreted as a sort of allegory on perseverance and always striving against the odds, or alternatively, blindly following your own desires without heeding the advice and counsel of others. Either way you choose to read the piece, it is beautifully written with lots of vivid imagery as the narrative unfolds.

  120. “Christmas At Sea” by Robert Louis Stevenson

    Sat, 22 Dec 2018 19:58:26 -0000

    First published in a periodical just a few days before Christmas in 1888, "Christmas at Sea" is a vivid narrative poem that pulls the reader into the scenes. The stark contrast between the warm, domestic scene and the freezing weather onboard the ship is very poignant and is the most interesting part of the piece to me. While the Scottish writer is known more for his novels, he also wrote three volumes of poetry with the first one, A Child's Garden of Verses, being the most known to casual poetry fans.

  126. "In School-days" by John Greenleaf Whittier

    Thu, 29 Nov 2018 00:18:46 -0000

    Born in rural Massachusetts in 1807, John Greenleaf Whittier began to write poetry at a young age with his first poem being published in the summer of 1826. Shortly thereafter, he began working as an editor of various periodicals. The poem "In School-days" was written in 1869 and Whittier may have drawn a bit on his own experience as a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse. The poem was praised by the public as well as by other poets with Henry Wadsworth Longfellow commenting, "There is something more in education than is set down in the school-books. Whittier has touched this point very poetically in that little lyric of his." Oliver Wendell Holmes said of the poem in a letter to Whittier, "...I had no sooner read them [the lines] that I fell into such ecstasy that I could hardly find words too high-colored to speak of them to my little household. I hardly think I dared read them aloud. My eyes fill with tears just looking at them in my scrapbook, now, while I am writing."

  139. "O Captain! My Captain!" by Walt Whitman

    Fri, 20 Apr 2018 03:36:02 -0000

    Probably the most well-known poem by Walt Whitman, "O Captain! My Captain!" is a moving metaphor for President Abraham Lincoln's leadership of the country during the Civil War and his assassination which shocked the nation. This poem is actually only one of a handful that Whitman wrote in honor of Lincoln, whom he greatly admired. "O Captain" was written in 1865 shortly after the death of the President and was published later the same year in a small booklet containing a collection of 18 of Whitman's poems.

  142. "The Crucifixion and Resurrection. An Ode." by Mary Leapor

    Thu, 29 Mar 2018 02:20:12 -0000

    Mary Leapor was a young poet born into Britain's working class. She died at the young age of 24 and therefore her body of work is not very large, but it contains some lengthy pieces which are quite respected and have received much acclaim to this day. Published posthumously in 1748, "The Crucifixion and Resurrection. An Ode." is a beautiful and vivid depiction of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. Leapor recounts this event in her signature style and the poem's first three stanzas seem to focus on the effect Jesus' death had on the natural world and then in the second half she shifts to show what His resurrection means to humanity.

  144. “Eldorado” by Edgar Allan Poe

    Wed, 21 Feb 2018 04:53:21 -0000

    The poem "Eldorado" was first published in 1849 in the Boston-based periodical, The Flag of Our Union, a publication which also printed works from Louisa May Alcott. Incidentally, this poem was published just a little over five months before Edgar Allan Poe would meet his untimely–and still unexplained–death. Poe is, of course, known for his melancholy and dark writings and although there are some gray undertones in "Eldorado", they are far less overt than those in many of his other pieces. The text of the poem has been set to music in its entirety as well as adapted into song by many musical acts over the years.

  145. ATC102: Review of Jonathan Park: The Dreamer’s Tomb

  146. Springsgrow Chapter 1: A Tale of Bygone Years

    Sat, 06 Jan 2018 04:41:00 -0000

    Nestled gently beneath the boughs of ancient oaks, so small that it is often overlooked on most maps depicting the vast forest of Elderwood, lies the tiny squirrel village of Springsgrow. Most would find it a quiet and pleasant place to live out one’s years. Most would be content to do exactly that. But for a young squirrel named Chester Brushwood the idea of living a life of such tranquil predictableness is a terrifying prospect. After all, with a world as vast and mysterious as Elderwood before his paws, how can a creature ignore the chance at such wondrous adventures that are so sure to be had? There must be some evil to root out, some voracious dragon waiting to be slain, some distant land in need of a hero to take up a legendary sword and shield? To be a hero. Yes..... But what does it truly mean to be a hero?

  151. "Autumn Fires" by Robert Louis Stevenson

    Thu, 23 Nov 2017 03:33:20 -0000

    "Autumn Fires" was first published in 1885 in a volume titled Penny Whistles which contained over 60 poems, including "My Shadow", "The Lamplighter", and "The Land of Story-books". The collection was later re-titled A Child’s Garden of Verses and has been reprinted many times. Robert Louis Stevenson is, of course, well-known for his short stories and novels, such as the pirate adventure story, Treasure Island, which was published two years prior to the aforementioned poetry collection.

  152. ATC99: Review of Tom Swift and His Motorboat from the Colonial Radio Theatre

    Tom Swift returns in Tom Swift and His Motorboat from the Colonial Radio Theatre.

  153. “Afternoon” by Emma Lazarus

    Sun, 15 Oct 2017 22:08:00 -0000

    While she wrote dozens of poems, Emma Lazarus is most known for "The New Colossus" and information about much of her other work is scarce. Indeed, information regarding "Afternoon" is almost nonexistent online. This beautiful, narrative piece is filled with vivid visuals that draw the reader into the scene. It takes very little effort to feel as though one is walking alongside the unnamed "her" in the poem. Whether the woman Lazarus refers to is herself or if it is a more general usage of the pronoun we may never know. Regardless this is a wonderful poem which conveys an emotion that most of us can relate to in some way.

  156. "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus

    Fri, 01 Sep 2017 01:18:00 -0000

    American born, Jewish poet, Emma Lazarus wrote this now famous sonnet in 1883 for the purpose of aiding the Bartholdi Pedestal Fund for the Statue of Liberty as Lazarus notes on the original manuscript of the poem (pictured below). Unfortunately, she never saw the poem enshrined on Liberty Island as the plaque bearing the poem's text was not affixed to the pedestal wall until 1903; over a decade and a half after Lazarus' death in 1887. The title of the poem is a reference to the Colossus of Rhodes, a statue of the Greek sun-god, which was one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World.

  161. “A Psalm of Life" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

    Thu, 27 Jul 2017 01:15:00 -0000

    This popular poem by American poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, was first published in the literary magazine, The Knickerbocker, in 1838. The following year, this poem was collected with several other early Longfellow works and published in a volume titled Voices of the Night. Longfellow revisits the idea of likening poems to psalms as well as other themes from “A Psalm of Life" in subsequent works on several other occasions, including one entitled "The Reaper and the Flowers" which was originally subtitled "A Psalm of Death".

  165. "The Charge of the Light Brigade" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

    Thu, 15 Jun 2017 04:16:00 -0000

    Written and published in the winter of 1854, "The Charge of the Light Brigade" memorializes the story of the British soldiers who fought in the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War. The battle, in which the Russian forces had soundly defeated the British, had just taken place less than two months prior when Tennyson wrote this poem. One survivor of the defeated cavalry regiment, the 11th Hussars, Private Thomas Williams, remarked later in a letter to his parents, “I could see what would be the result of it, and so could all of us; but of course, as we had got the order, it was our duty to obey. I do not wish to boast too much; but I can safely say that there was not a man in the Light Brigade that day but what did his duty to his Queen and Country.”[1] Tennyson later edited the poem and included the new version in a volume of works published in 1855. The revisions were not well received so he restored the text back to its previous iteration for subsequent printings. We have chosen to produce the original and more well-known version of this poem.

    American lyric poet, Sara Teasdale, was born in 1884 in Missouri. She published her first poem in a newspaper in 1907 followed by a volume of her poetry later that year.

  170. "Crossing The Bar" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

    Mon, 15 May 2017 01:54:00 -0000

    Written in 1889, when Tennyson was about 80 years old, "Crossing The Bar" is one of his last pieces of poetry. The elegy embraces similar themes as many of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's other works as he once again uses references to the sea; this time to make his point about the ending of life on earth. Tennyson seemed to view the piece as a bookend of sorts to his work and requested that this poem be placed last in all future publications of collections of his poetry.

  172. "The Village Blacksmith" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

    Sun, 09 Apr 2017 02:58:00 -0000

    First published in 1840, "The Village Blacksmith" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is a wonderful example of a short, narrative poem. It not only tells the reader a story, but it is one which many can relate to since it is really a story of the "everyman". After its initial publication in a periodical, "The Village Blacksmith" was then included in a volume of Longfellow's works entitled Ballads and Other Poems, published in 1841, which included other now well-known poems such as, "The Wreck of the Hesperus" and "Excelsior".

  176. "Florence Nightingale" by Emma Lazarus

    Fri, 17 Feb 2017 02:41:03 -0000

    Emma Lazarus was an American poet who was writing during the late 1800s. She is most known for her sonnet in honor of The Statue of Liberty, "The New Colossus". Her poem, "Florence Nightingale", was written on March 7, 1867 and was first published in 1871. There are conflicting opinions about the accuracy of this poem's portrayal of the woman known as "The Mother of Modern Nursing" and "The Lady with the Lamp", but regardless, it is a wonderful piece which honors Nightingale's contributions to the field of medicine.

  178. "The Best Thing in the World" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

    Sun, 29 Jan 2017 21:58:16 -0000

    English poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning was born in 1806 and is believed to have written her first poem at the young age of 6. Unlike many classic poets, Barrett Browning was quite well respected and her works were well received during her lifetime. Among the admirers of her work were Emily Dickinson and Edgar Allen Poe; the latter even dedicated a volume of his poems to her in 1845. Perhaps most known for her sonnets and especially the very famous piece, "How Do I Love Thee?", Barrett Browning was a very prolific poet. "The Best Thing in the World" was included in the volume entitled The Complete Poetical Works of Mrs. Browning and was published as a short, 12-line piece of verse. Although there are many sources online which have a version which omits two lines, we have chosen to produce the full poem.

We are also joined on the show by stage actress and theater director, Abigail Bourne from Pennsylvania. Abigail attended the 2016 Lamplighter Guild and we chat with her about the Guild, working with Jess Harnell on Lamplighter Theatre, and the differences between stage acting and audio drama acting. And Roy delivers a newscast full of audio drama goodness. Merry Christmas!

  182. ATC86: Review of Jimmy and the Star Angel from Family Time Audio Theatre

    Mon, 07 Nov 2016 10:30:00 -0000

    Family Time Audio Theatre released their first audio drama in October 2016, Jimmy and the Star Angel, a fun, endearing Christmas story that you're sure to enjoy. We review this wonderful audio drama in this episode, respond to an Odyssey-related question from Sarah Grace and chat about a new audio stories website we recently discovered. Roy also has a newscast and we finally announce that The Cross Maker is finished!

    Producer's Note: Unfortunately we had a bit of an issue with the audio in this episode. We cleaned it up the best we could and we hope you will still enjoy the show. Also, JD misspoke when he mentioned the duration of Jimmy and the Star Angel. It is actually 1:48:29.

  186. "The Eagle" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

    Fri, 30 Sep 2016 07:46:25 -0000

    "The Eagle" was first published in 1851, shortly after Tennyson was appointed as Poet Laureate of Britain in 1850; a position he held until his death in 1892. In spite of its short length, "The Eagle" still contains a lot of meaning. It is packed with beautiful imagery and the iambic tetrameter Tennyson employs allows the words to flow off the tongue in an easy rhythm. It is simply a delightful piece to read and contemplate.

  187. ATC83: Review of Ben-Hur from Focus on the Family Radio Theatre

    Mon, 05 Sep 2016 11:00:00 -0000

    Although released several years ago, Focus on the Family Radio Theatre's adaptation of Ben-Hur is still one of our favorites and one of the best audio dramas ever produced. Since this story is at the forefront of people's minds right now we figured it was the perfect time to discuss it. We also address some feedback from Michael D., Rachel, Sarah Grace and Elisabeth H. Roy has another newscast and we dive deep into who we voted for in the Finnian versus Whit election. We also manage to bring up fish pneumonia and much more!

  192. "My Shadow" by Robert Louis Stevenson

    Sun, 31 Jul 2016 18:40:00 -0000

    Perhaps better known for his fiction works such as Treasure Island and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson was also a prolific poet, publishing a handful of collections of poems. "My Shadow" was first published in 1885 in a collection titled A Child’s Garden of Verses. The poem is a wonderful snapshot of childhood wonder and innocence.

  196. "The Children's Hour" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

    Sun, 19 Jun 2016 18:34:00 -0000

    American poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, wrote "The Children's Hour" about his relationship with his own three daughters, even using their names in the piece. It was first published in 1860 in the Boston-based magazine, The Atlantic Monthly. Subsequent publishings were often accompanied by a portrait of the three girls. The poem is a beautiful look at a father's love for his children, but also contains the bittersweet tones of the realization that the childhood years are fleeting.

  197. ATC79: Review of Adventures in Odyssey #60: Head Over Heels

    Mon, 06 Jun 2016 11:00:00 -0000

    We do a deep dive into Head Over Heels, Adventures in Odyssey's 60th album, in this episode of the show. JD, Roy and Andrew have very differing opinions on many of the episodes in this album which makes for an interesting discussion. We also share several various AIO related tidbits, Roy is back with another newscast, we address some feedback from Rob and Sarah Grace, and we get a voicemail from Elisabeth with her thoughts on AIO 60.

  198. "Evening Solace" by Charlotte Brontë

    Tue, 31 May 2016 01:21:36 -0000

    English writer, Charlotte Brontë, is probably best known for her novel, Jane Eyre, although she wrote a handful of other novels as well as many poems. For many years she wrote and published her works under the pseudonym, Currer Bell. The poem, Evening Solace, was first published in 1846 as part of a collection of pieces by Charlotte and her two sisters, Emily and Anne.

  199. ATC78: Review of The Brinkman Adventures, Season 4

    Mon, 02 May 2016 11:30:00 -0000

    Season 4 of The Brinkman Adventures is the topic of conversation in this episode. With this latest season the team has kicked things up a couple notches with great acting and writing as well as each episode's music being composed by Aaron Fullan and Jared DePasquale. This is their best season yet! Also in this episode are several audio drama tidbits. Not quite enough to make a newscast, but still interesting nonetheless and Roy enjoyed taking a break from the strenuous work of reporting. In the feedback segment, we open a piece of snail mail from Elisabeth H!

  200. "To Be A Pilgrim" by John Bunyan

    Sun, 17 Apr 2016 02:26:12 -0000

    This poem was originally published in 1684 in Part 2 of the well-known allegorical novel that Bunyan wrote, The Pilgrim's Progress. The text was later modified and set to music in the early 1900s and sung as a hymn in churches. There are a few textual variations of the piece and it has also been known under several different titles including, "He Who Would Valiant Be" and "The Pilgrim". We have chosen to use the original text for this reading.

  203. "Ballad Of The Tempest" by James Thomas Fields

    Sat, 26 Mar 2016 05:10:01 -0000

    This beautiful, narrative poem was first published in 1849 in a volume titled "Poems", just a few years after James Thomas Fields became a partner in a Boston publishing firm. Several of Fields' works reference the sea which may have been due to the fact that his father was a sea captain, although he died when Fields was quite young. After James Thomas Fields' death in 1881 at the age of 63, two of Fields' contemporaries, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and John Greenleaf Whittier, wrote poems in his memory.

  204. ATC76: Review of Frozen Fire from Lamplighter Theatre

    Mon, 07 Mar 2016 11:00:00 -0000

  205. "London Snow" by Robert Bridges

    Thu, 03 Mar 2016 22:27:13 -0000

    Before beginning to work full time on his literary interests, Robert Bridges worked for 8 years as a physician in several London hospitals. "London Snow" was written several years after he left the medical field and is a beautiful poem full of imagery which details how enchanting a fresh snowfall is for young and old alike. Bridges served as the Poet Laureate of England from 1913 until his death in 1930.

  206. "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost

    Mon, 22 Feb 2016 17:32:38 -0000

    After working for many hours on a poem in 1922, Robert Frost stepped outside and was suddenly inspired to write "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening". He said later that he was able to complete the piece in just a few minutes. Published in 1923, it is a beautiful poem which depicts the wonder of watching the snow fall in winter and along with "The Road Not Taken" has become one of Frost's most well-known works.

  207. "The Sky Is Low The Clouds Are Mean" by Emily Dickinson

    Tue, 16 Feb 2016 18:00:19 -0000

    The personification of nature that Dickinson employs in this poem is simply beautiful. As always, she uses a few words to articulate so much and does it so well. It's so easy to visualize in one's mind's eye the scene that she is describing. And then with the last few words, Dickinson brings home the true point of the piece with the comparison of nature to humanity.

  208. Do Unto Others

    Wed, 03 Feb 2016 22:14:00 -0000

    In this comedic skit Joe and Henry show us how we often abuse the golden rule by shedding light on what Jesus really meant when He said “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”

  212. "Christmas Bells" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

    Sun, 20 Dec 2015 08:35:04 -0000

    Written on Christmas Day in 1863 during the heat of the Civil War by American poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "Christmas Bells" is perhaps more well-known in the form of the Christmas carol "I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day". Organist John Baptiste Calkin set the poem to music in 1872 and it has been since performed and recorded by dozens of artists.

  213. "A Slash of Blue" by Emily Dickinson

    Sat, 12 Dec 2015 13:00:04 -0000

    Emily Dickinson was a master of saying much with a few words. In these few lines she paints a beautiful word picture of the amazing canvas of the skies. Some scholars contend that this poem is a reference to the American Civil War, and while that may be the case it still stands on its own as a beautiful piece even if taken literally.

  214. "Fall, Leaves, Fall" by Emily Bronte

    Tue, 08 Dec 2015 04:55:47 -0000

    Contrasting the sadness and beauty of the changing of seasons, Emily Brontë also leaves the reader with a sense of anticipation of the cooler weather in this short work. The vivid imagery she uses seems to leap from the page and make the piece come alive. The fifth of six children, Emily was a quite capable poet as evidenced by this beautiful depiction of autumn, but is more known for her novel, Wuthering Heights.

  215. ATC72: Review of Adventures in Odyssey #59: Taking the Plunge

  217. "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae

  219. "Chartless" by Emily Dickinson

    Sat, 17 Oct 2015 11:00:24 -0000

    This piece is one of Dickinson's most recognizable works and it is one of the few which has been titled by an editor as Emily Dickinson did not title her poems. "Chartless" was first published in 1890 after her death in 1886 by a few of her personal acquaintances. The version of the poem we used here is the edited text which is slightly different from Dickinson's original.

  220. "If--" by Rudyard Kipling

    Sat, 17 Oct 2015 05:20:11 -0000

    Mon, 25 May 2015 11:00:00 -0000

    We dive deep into The Brinkman Adventures 3rd season in this episode of the show. This series focusing on missionary stories just keeps getting better and better and we are really enjoying it.

    Producer's Note: At around 27:25 in this episode, JD mentions an "African warrior" in reference to the story of Steve Saint. This is obviously incorrect and JD knows that this story is set in the Central American country of Ecuador; it was a simple slip of the tongue and/or brain. Please forgive the mistake.

    Mon, 27 Dec 2010 11:06:00 -0000

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! -JD
