When, if ever should AIO end? If it does, how should it end? Jay and John discuss this topic in an upcoming podcast episode, and you can listen to an excerpt in this video. Listen to our previous podcast: https://www.adventuresinopinions.com/006. When it’s uploaded, the full episode will be available at https://www.adventuresinopinions.com/007.
When Should Adventures in Odyssey End? | Podcast Clip
Adventures in Opinions 
I have not listed to this in full before.
The amount of loose strings means that Odyssey would have to actively plan the ending which they are not because they are investing money in the Club and magazine’s and are (probably) making money off it. There also are not as many good and polished alternatives to AIO, because Discovery Mountain is new and is not as polished and Starkeepers is way too out of this world and is for people already watching eKids. Jonathan Park is off the radio, so if you pay for JP you are most likely Christian and deeply cemented in the worldview. Also this would cause Focus to loose a while targeted space. (children and teens) It is likely that AIO may move away from radio and just do internet radio (Keys for Kids), online, and Club. This is not acceptable because, then you can’t listen in a car.
If Odyssey were to shutdown, what happens to paying club members. I would expect tht if AIO that don’t the club would become free, and album sales would continue.
I just think that it would be very sad if AIO would shutdown, and will not for a long time.

Yep, I definitely hope it won’t happen soon. Did you watch/listen to that clip?
If so you know that we were talking about when it ends, because at some point every radio program has to come to an end. I agree that it doesn’t look like that’ll be happening any time soon though.

I have not listened yet, but not every one has ended. Unshackled has not ended.

That’s absolutely correct.
However, you would agree that every series has to come to an end at some point, right?

I guess, but the problem with AIO ending is there are way too many loose ends. With DGL all the children grew up (I guess I have not heard the ending) and because new characters were not introduced, the show was over. But I really want Red Rock Mysteries to come back, I liked that series. It was realistic, but unrealistic at the same time.

Speaking of Unshackled they are making their own drama for kids. Airs at 7 AM Sat. https://unshackledradio.org/schedule/ -Source Audio Theatre Central

Oh, interesting. I didn’t know about that (I don’t think I’ve ever listened to an episode of Unshackled).

I’ve read the Red Rock Mysteries books, so I’m guessing they only made audio dramas covering what the books had covered and so that’s why they didn’t continue. It’s a similar thing that happened with the Left Behind audio dramas? Have you heard those?
Yes, we’d want the AIO team to tie up loose ends before ending Adventures in Odyssey. We discussed that in the full podcast episode, https://www.adventuresinopinions.com/007, if not in the short linked on this page.

No, I have not. I’m sorry, I’ve been busy. I just took another look at it and it would be good if you could add 5 more “reasons” to the post as it’s quite short right now and I try to keep Adventures in Opinions listicles to having at least 11 bullet points in them.
Thanks!

Here are my 5 points.
When you know “A Simple Reminder” is basically Everything New from Kids Corner.
Whenever you find money lying around, you look around for an old lizard spying on you.
When you think Liz has a flip phone.
When you track the progressions of tech through kids corner. Desktop Computer -> Flip Phone -> Smartphone
When you are confused by Spikes Dad being nice in one episode, the always yelling at Spike in all the other episodes.
