Ch. 29-37, Pure Percy and Annabeth POV with returning guest Ola Amokomowo! Percy is feeling like maybe he's not the main character anymore, getting humbled by every new challenge he faces, and wondering if, given the chance, he'd save Annabeth... or the quest. Annabeth on the other hand is being #AnxiousAvoidant, getting ready to go solo on her near impossible mission to locate and rescue the Athena Parthenos. Together, they have a lunch date on the river Tiber, our last calm Percabeth moment for, well, a while. Plus, perhaps the greatest Riordanverse Villain intro of all time! | |||

| The Lost Hero Part 2: Leo + the Villains | 13 Jan 2021 | 00:50:01 | |
Join Erica, Carter, Jackson, and Ola as they begin to unpack Leo, Hephaestus, and why the hell Medea wasn’t brought back to Camp Half-Blood to teach witchcraft. In this episode, we mention some retellings of the Medea story, which you can check out here:
As critical as we are of Rick’s portrayal of many of the female mythological figures in this book in particular, we do want to acknowledge that is the original myths themselves, inextricable from the patriarchal societies in which they were originally told, that first created harmful tropes and stereotypes these Riordanverse characters have occasionally fallen into. And we are so looking forward to Disney+ to give the screenwriting team a chance to rethink and reimagine many of the characters that appear in the Riordanverse. And as always, we highly recommend Helen Morales's Antigone Rising for more on this. Today’s unofficial sponsor is Fedwhich, a sandwich shop Ola and Jackson would like to receive free food from.

| The Lost Hero Part 1: Piper | 05 Jan 2021 | 00:58:43 | |
Join Carter, Erica, and special guest Brayden Stallman (Return to Camp Half-Blood) as they discuss Piper McLean’s journey through The Lost Hero, femininity, #internalizedmisogyny, and what it really means to be a child of Aphrodite. Towards the end of this episode, we begin to ask questions about the kind of representation Piper brings into the Riordanverse. As Carter mentions, we are by no means a “qualified panel” to be discussing this, but we felt it was important to at least begin the conversation.
