- About The Show -
Has the Percy Jackson series been slept on by society? Join Mike Schubert as he journeys through the Riordanverse for the first time with the help of longtime PJO fans to cover the plot, take stabs at what happens next, and nerd out over the Greek mythology throughout. Whether you're looking for an excuse to finally read these books, or want to re-read an old favorite with a digital book club, grab your blue chocolate chip cookies and listen along. New episodes release on Mondays wherever you get your podcasts!
I LOVE that you like this book SO much, because for some weird reason, the first time I read the books, the longest reading break I took was during Son of Neptune and weirdly enough on my second read-through (this time not in German, but in English, which by now I prefer xD also, that read-through started around the same time I discovered this podcast :D And now this is the podcast I'm waiting for the MOST every week xD) recently, the first and veeeery long (like... half a year maybe? 😅😅🤣 idk why xD) reading break I took after rushing through PJO in less than a week was AGAIN in Son of Neptune (specifically [without spoiling anything, because it's just one word that won't mean ANYTHING to Mike if he hasn't gotten there yet, but after that it's very obvious what scene I mean] at this part: Grains. That's vaguely specific enough 🤣) and I have NO IDEA why I always take the longest to read exactly THIS book, because it's a great book and I KNOW that, but for some weird reason, I always hesitate on this book. I genuinely do not understand why. The only guess I can take is that my autistic ass hates change and meeting new characters in a (for me) comfortable setting felt more acceptable than meeting new characters AND a new location (as incredibly happy as I was to see Percy and also Nico back), like that combination might have been too much change for me, I have no idea 😅🤣 I love Frank and Hazel and they have SUCH interesting backstorys and I can't wait to see all of the different connections between all of the characters to play out (old and new ones) and I'm really annoyed at myself that I somehow always stop at this book 😅🙃
But after I finally picked it back up, I raced from there until my next long reading break which for some freaking reason is towards the end of House of Hades, but probably only because I remember SOME of the stuff coming up (while I had forgotten almost all of MoA xD) and barely anything of the last one except some specific details and after that I'll finally reach new territory (even tho sadly some important stuff has been spoiled for me...) but that also terrifies me to not have that comfort blanket of knowing what happens anymore, i don't know, this is all very weird, my brain is weird 😅😅🤣🤣🤣
.....where in Tartarus was I planning to go with this comment..?? 😅🤦♀🤦♀🤣🤣🤣🤣
woooooo
Rhodes is in Greece btw
As a Brit, just a quick comment on the Tikka Masala thing, it’s not quite full cultural appropriation as the dish Tikka Masala was actually invented in Scotland (though still very much inspired by South Asian curry)
oh yeah I was most just making a joke lol
I thought it was, just wanted to say it as I think it’s an interesting fact
I didnt realize there was more at the end, so I was very confused to hear Mike start talking again...
oh oops that's not supposed to be there! let me see if I can trim but I don't think I can since I had this ep pulled from the RSS feed...
@newestolympian I quite enjoyed the insight into your process, even if it was an accident
haha a peek behind the curtain!
Boston pog
A thing that is interesting is that you assume a god must get in a heterosexual relationship to have a half blood, we have already learned that for example children of Athena are simply mind babies so why would that relationship for example need to be straight? Frank does point out that his godly parent apparently is a god and not a goddess here but it is still a thing to keep in mind :P
I guess just because in the books, so far we've only seen heterosexual relationships, which is why that's my train of thought. Not trying to be heteronormative, just trying to follow the structure of the series. Even Annabeth being a mind baby had a straight relationship in her parentage. Hopefully this changes as the books go on!
