Default "Jonathan Park" Audiostories for kids?

Anyone ever heard of "Jonathan Park" a story on CD Christian series? My kids love Adventures in Oddysey, wondering if this is similar?

We have several editions that we bought primarily for Bible and science based learning that fits with our family's views. My kids like JP (so do I, as do many of our homeschooling friend/families). JP can sometimes come across as sounding canned when it comes to Bible/world view statements where as Odyssey doesn't go as deep (IMO) but feels more natural/organic in it's storytelling approach.

I've mostly enjoyed them but would absolutely pre-screen them. One left a really bad taste in my mouth when they were talking about roles of men and women.

Thanks--do you happen to remember which episode or album it was?

I've previewed a few. I couldn't figure out what made them sound off, maybe it's just we're not used to listening to overacted radio drama or the canned worldview tinge mentioned above, but I did not end up buying in to the series.

We love them. We have series 1 & just ordered series 2. This particular set is about Creationism & if you're not young earth or at least tolerant of the idea, you probably will not enjoy this particular set. I think the first couple of series belong to the same theme/category. I forget what the next theme/category is.

I don't recall anything objectionable in the parenting styles of the two main families.

No, sorry, I just hear it in the radio sometimes. Part of the story line was one of the girls being trapped in a cave with a feminist...

Was it anti-feminist or anti-traditional roles?
