Hi! We’re Adventures in Absurdity, but you can call us Chaos!

We strive to produce content that is appropriate for the target age of Adventures in Odyssey.

Sometimes our discussions cross mature themes. For older listeners, we have created a Tumblr edit that you can find at @adventuresinabsurdityblog. If you are under the age of 16, we recommend avoiding the tumblr edits or asking a parent first.
