Katie Leigh has played Connie Kendall since AIO episode #4 in 1987. Will Ryan has played Eugene Meltsner since 1988. But they‚’ve never appeared together on an Adventures in Odyssey podcast. It‚’s time to change that as the two of them share how they met, the truth behind their banter in the studio, and what they‚’ve been up to recently.
He’s provided the voice for 60 different characters in Odyssey, but you know him best as the voice of eccentric brainiac Eugene Meltsner… actor Will Ryan tells all! Also includes news of a special Call-In show coming soon.
Dave and Paul answer your questions: Are Penny and Wooton really getting married? When will the wedding take place? Will they meet Penny’s parents?

Will you ever have another contest like Get in the Show or open casting calls? Plus, hear the first scene from “Words from the Wise,” the first episode in the upcoming Album 60: “Head Over Heels.”
The title cast members for “Gifts for Madge and Guy” (Will Ryan, voice of Eugene and Guy, and Chris Anthony Lansdowne, our host and the voice of Madge) stop by for a hold-onto-your-hats chat. The original episode aired in 1987, and more than thirty years later, “Part 2” is available in the Club now. Plus, Dave Arnold gives the inside scoop on the Odyssey Character Survey.
Cast members Shona Kennedy (Jules), Karen Kennedy (Lena), Katriona Kennedy (Teena), Pat Fraley (Karno), Robby Bruce (Buck), Andre Stojka (Whit), Will Ryan (Eugene), and crew Phil Lollar (writer/director) and Christopher Diehl (engineer) record the songs for the musical episode “Legacy.”
Officer David Harley appeared in a number of early Adventures in Odyssey episodes. He was voiced by Will Ryan, who later went on to voice Eugene Meltsner. Harley was a bumbling policeman and the producers loved him for his comic potential, but not everyone felt the same way. After parents complained that he gave a bad impression of law enforcers, the team decided that Officer Harley should leave the show. Many of his episodes were later rewritten, retitled, and rerecorded without him. A few others were dropped completely and never aired again. Over the years, we’ve looked for a place to re-release these episodes as interesting curiosities, so fans could hear the originals. And now, with the Adventures in Odyssey Club, we’ve finally found the perfect place. Enjoy these episodes that haven’t been heard in more than twenty years!
