Bart Rathbone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bart Rathbone is a major character in the Christian-themed radio drama/comedy serial Adventures in Odyssey, voiced by Ed Walker (sometimes credited "Walker Edmiston").
Rathbone is known as a cheap and schemish businessman, always plugging "The Electric Palace", an electronics store he manages, pushing questionable sales promotions, and launching half-baked entrepreneurial ideas (such as "Rathbone's Electric Castle and Rock and Roll Instruments of Destruction" in episode #164: "Sixties-Something". He is also known for his ill-fated campaigns for the Mayorship of Odyssey. In episodes #286 & #287: "Tom for Mayor, Parts 1 & 2", he faces off against Tom Riley; in episodes #380 & #381: "The One About Trust, Parts 1 & 2", he runs against Margaret Faye.
Rathbone and his son also spent time in jail due to their negative actions during the Blackgaard saga.
Now that Walker Edmiston is dead, Bart Rathbone now longer has a voice. Whether the character of Bart Rathbone will continue or be discontinued is still unknown.
