Blog, Podcast, and more

There's a new blog hitting the scene called The Odyssey Tattler. So far it looks great. Can't wait to see what becomes of it.
Also another fairly new blog, is The Changing Times. It's well written and a lot of thought and time is put into each entry. The style of writing it contains is well thought out and well put together.

Also the Whits End Podcast #61 is up with some great surprises. I won't give away much more, but it's  definitely worth listening to.

Album 52 starts airing this Saturday. I'm so pumped. The season starts with the Mystery of the Clock Tower Part One. This episode is getting a lot of hype, and with it being a two parter, we shouldn't be let down.

I plan to try to review an episode at least once a week, maybe sometimes more. Starting with album 50 and working backwards. At least during the week. On the weekends starting this Saturday I will review the new episodes as well. I'm going to try to make my reviews a little longer...But we'll see how that goes. With that said,  may start later today, tomorrow, or sometime this week.

Thank you for clicking to CCC, This is Freddy Jay saying "Have a great Day."

So the line-up of this season looks really promising. Four mysteries, three of which involve Emily doing the investigating.  The themes as well look promising.  I'm particularly interested in Opposite Day because it sounds like it touches on the "internet friends" which is an important topic in our day of the internet. I can't wait for the upcoming season, which once again starts Oct. 2nd.

There's a new podcast out as well that includes an interview with the voice of camilla, and also it includes another scene from The Mystery of the clock tower as well as a trivia tidbit about album 52. Don't miss out.

I'm gradually approaching my 100th post. What does that mean? Do I have a little surprise? Well you'll have to be sure to be here for it when it comes.

I think that's all for the moment. This is Freddy Jay saying "Catch ya later."

Cover art news

Album 52 has arrived. This album has me really excited. I can't wait for them to start airing. The darker border with the cover art has a nice effect to it.

Also, we have some glipmses of the new cover arts for albums 1 and 5 which will soon be available as well.

 <---- Album 1
For the most part it stayed the same, but it has an awesome effect to it that seems to pop more.

<------ Album 5 Once again art that pops. It shows us a back head of Whit. And....Who is that standing on the hill top? Is it Regis? Or maybe it's Richard. Either way, this artwork has found it's way onto my top five favorite cover arts.


That's about all I have for now. This is Freddy Jay saying "What will we find out next?"

Album 52 Back cover!

I realize this is sorta late...BUT, on the Scoop, Jacob posted a pic of the back cover that looks legit. Click on it to the left to see it larger. It has  the complete list of episode titles, as well as their themes. Not only that, but it also reveals the bonus features that will come with the album. A special video feature. If I wasn't already planning on getting this album (which I was) I definitely would be convinced to get it now. The themes themselves are intriguing too. The theme for The mystery of the clock tower sounds great. "Be sure your sins will find you out". That one sounds like a great action filled mystery. It also sounds like a great season opener. This whole season sounds great. I can't wait until October 2nd. And that looks like all I have for now. This is Freddy Jay saying catch ya later.
