What's Odyssey? With Joshua Mensah-Woode

Summary
What's Odyssey? With Joshua Mensah-Woode, stylized "What's Odyssey?" or simply The What's Odyssey Podcast, is an educational podcast produced by AIO Writer's Block and hosted on Spotify Podcasts. The podcast is advertised as "not your typical Adventures in Odyssey podcast," featuring interviews with both Odyssey fans and non-Odyssey listeners, tying Adventures in Odyssey in with real-world connections. The podcast trailer was released on February 19th, 2024, and the show's first season premiered on March 8th, 2024.
Development
During AWB's visionary release at the end of 2023, Donald Treply announced the future production of an AIO Writer's Block podcast. An AIO Writer's Block podcast had unfinished developmental roots as early as 2021; however, nothing substantial emerged from it. In the plans for this podcast, Odyssey writers would come on and discuss their works in a style not unlike the podcast "Your Fellow Odyssians." This podcast would also include candid episode reviews with guests, like many current Odyssey podcasts. When Joshua took over the project, he decided to lean more into an education style filtered through the Odyssey. Writing for the show began within the first weeks of 2024, and music production went into early February.
Episodes
The What's Odyssey Podcast and AIO Writer's Block began producing episodes at the beginning of the year. Four are upcoming or have been released, and three, four including the show's first special, are in pre-production or development. The show's first season, including one special, will have a total of ten episodes.
