He’s also very hungry and we can’t blame him because honestly that’s our main priority most days. Then they’re marching along, they’ve got confidence (see: delusion), they’re (not) cooler than a pack of peppermints, and Kate can’t stop quoting the Trolls movie. Percy and Annabeth play adjudicators for the debate between Kelli and her friends about who should be their leader until Kelli plays the ‘I’ll murder you’ card and then Bestie Bob saves the day.

Jason is (somehow) actually contributing, at least to the worship of statues lol, and Hazel is once again the only one caring about Nico!! Like, how?!!

Jason is feeling useless (valid and expected and deserved), Percy is out of breath and also worried about drowning (also extremely valid if not confusing to everyone else around him), and Piper for once is actually using her big girl brain and bringing something to the table that isn’t ‘oh my god but have you heard about my bOyFriEnD Jason?’ (unexpected and actually pleasant wtf?). Meanwhile we aren’t really paying attention to any of that because the TBOSAS movie came out and it’s all that our brains can handle rn!! (No seriously, spoiler warning for the last 20 minutes or so, listen at your own expense… There is also a spoiler warning in the episode itself

xx Kate & Jo

MOA. Kill It With Fire!

Welcome back to our Riordanverse readalong and analysis podcast!! Here's SZN14 Episode 10, where we discuss chapters 33-40 (XXXIII-XL) of Mark of Athena! Annabeth is FINALLY taking on her solo quest and absolutely crushing it (and by crushing it we mean she’s adopting all of Percy’s impostor syndrome but also manipulate, mansplain, and manslaughtering her way through underground Rome).

We hope you'll join us next week for chapters 41-44 (XLI-XLIV) of Mark of Athena.

Welcome back to our Riordanverse readalong and analysis podcast!! Here's SZN14 Episode 7, a very special bonus episode, in which Kate gives you all her first unfiltered and very jumbled thoughts about Percy Jackson and the Chalice of the Gods!! Jo isn’t here for this episode because she has a weird hang up about reading this book out of timeline order (wtf, right??!!) and refuses to read this until after we finish Heroes. (Yes, I have already made the argument that she has ALREADY READ HEROES but that doesn’t seem to be convincing her, lol). In this episode, I discuss literally everything I could think of. My likes, dislikes, general stream of consciousness, you know the drill!! We hope you'll join us next week for chapters 25-28 (XXV-XXVIII) of Mark of Athena.

Welcome back to our Riordanverse readalong and analysis podcast!! Here's SZN14 Episode 3, where we discuss chapters 9-12 (IX-XII) of Mark of Athena. Rick can’t call it a dick measuring contest but make no mistake, that’s exactly what this section is. Piper is being insufferable and Jason is incredibly delulu. both parties in this couple think they can just talk badly about Percy and get away with it? Hell no, bitches.

Hotman McShizzle or whatever the fuck his name is is here! He's here and in full force and apparently creating a heartthrob is as easy as slicking your hair back and doodling some tattoos on your arms with a sharpie, no otherwise discernable talent necessary. In this episode Jo is proving to everyone once again that she doesn't understand how casual conversation works; Kate, apparently, is British now; Zeus is once again wreaking havoc and being a bad dad, this time in goose mode; Echo is pressing the mute button forever; and delulu Leo is going with Plan A despite Plan A never working.

Welcome back to our Riordanverse readalong and analysis podcast!! Here's SZN13 Episode 11, where we discuss Son of Magic. Rick's kid wrote a story and it SLAPS! for real, it's so good, and this is that story. What would happen if someone in the Riordanverse had a gun? What would happen if Haley introduced the coolest character we've ever seen and then Rick never mentioned them again? What would happen if some bogeyman lady came to eat your kid during the night? These are all questions we maybe/maybe don't answer in this episode lol. We hope you'll join us next week for chapters 1-4 (I-IV) of Mark of Athena.

SON. Dive For Cover In The Loincloth Sanctuary.

Welcome back to our Riordanverse readalong and analysis podcast!! Here's SZN13 Episode 9, where we discuss chapters 37-44 (XXXVII-XLIV) of The Son of Neptune. I like big blue butts and I cannot lie; that is where we shall hide. When the gryphons rip the roof off your train and try to eat your brain you go HIDE! No for real this episode is chaos. Gryphons and horses have beef. General Shang is on the brain. And giant blue butts. Honestly its a miracle the two of us didnt just talk about Ice Planet Barbarians or Avatar the entire episode. We hope you'll join us next week for chapters 41- (XLV-LII) of The Son of Neptune.

SON. Jailbreaking A Geriatric.

Welcome back to our Riordanverse readalong and analysis podcast!! Here's SZN13 Episode 8, where we discuss chapters 33-36 (XXXIII-XXXVI) of The Son of Neptune. Mostly we’re just comparing this section to the cinematic masterpiece that is Shrek Forever After. No seriously, there’s too many parallels for it not to be our only discussion topic. Frank’s grandmother is also a Grade A asshole, and Mars isn’t much better. Percy slays, obvi. We hope you'll join us next week for chapters 37-40 (XXXVII-XL) of The Son of Neptune.

SON. Enslave Men, Make Millions.

Welcome back to our Riordanverse readalong and analysis podcast!! Here's SZN13 Episode 7, where we discuss chapters 29-32 (XXIX-XXXII) of The Son of Neptune. COME ON JEFFREY YOU CAN DO IT! This feels poetic that this episode is coming out on the heels of the Barbie movie and we wouldn't have it any other way. Basically, Hazel is being a massive slay for the entire section, and so is Hylla. The girl power TM is unmatched. Jo also does her best to imitate a leaf blower. We hope you'll join us next week for chapters 33-36 (XXXIII-XXXVI) of The Son of Neptune.

We're discussing rainbow tie dye bumbags; Frank's aversion to walking up hills (we can super relate, it should honestly be classed as an allergy for Frank at this point); and Frank is just in general, unable to process literally anything and is just flying by the seat of his pants in all situations and we love him for it. Hazel also trauma dumps but thats besides the point. We hope you'll join us next week for chapters 25-28 (XXV-XXVIII) of The Son of Neptune.

SON. Octavian Has No Rizz.

Welcome back to our Riordanverse readalong and analysis podcast!! Here's SZN13 Episode 4, where we discuss chapters 13-16 (XIII-XVI) of The Son of Neptune. As you’ve seen from the episode title, Octavian has no rizz, however Reyna has the opportunity to be rizzalicious. Percy is claiming that his girlfriend just goes to another school when Reyna offers him a job; Camp Jupiter is apparently very happy to just give weapons to six year olds; and Hazel and Frank do the absolute bare minimum when it comes to chores, and Percy is the one being called un-Roman here? Make it make sense. We hope you'll join us next week for chapters 17-24 (XVII-XXIV) of The Son of Neptune.
