Description

• We kick off the episode talking about our anticipation (or lack thereof) for the Super Bowl, plus our excitement for Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros.
• Have you ever listened to a graphic audio before?
• Do you have a spreadsheet for all the books you’re reading this year?
• Happy belated birthday to Walker Scobell!
• Filming for season 2 has officially wrapped, and we speculate about the possible release date.
• Walker won the Rising Star Award at the 2025 SCAD TVfest!
• Speaking with TV Insider, Walker says the beginning of Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 will start in a slightly different place from the book—but we’re not worried.
• We’re so ready for more action in season 2, and we’re excited to see what more they add to the show that isn’t in the books.
• Sometimes we forget how long it takes for Annabeth and Percy to actually get together. They have a looooong road ahead of them.
• Tyson is SO important to this series, and it sounds like Daniel Diemer has impressed Diehard Percy Jackson Fan Walker Scobell.
• We’re also excited there will be more practical sets, and we’re curious how the Volume will come into play this season.
• Could we see Director Walker Scobell some day!?
• Rick answered some questions on Goodreads recently, and he’s said Clarisse will have a sizeable role in season 2 and that Dior is bringing her A game!

• Okay, let’s jump into Chalice of the Gods chapter 30.
• Where did we last leave Percy and where is he headed now?
• Percy takes in the sights as he heads toward the kitchen.
• Did we see the street-cleaning rhinoceros in the TV show?
• We’re obsessed with the fact that satyrs give botanical directions.
• Percy is smart to question why the gods have kitchens full of staff, and the reason makes SO MUCH SENSE.
• Did you catch the Ghostbusters reference!?
• It must be so uncomfortable to sweat Greek Fire.
• There was A LOT of detailed description in this chapter.
• How many of you knew what a conversation pit was?
• We play a pretty easy game of Two Truths and a Lie.
• It’s time to talk about our favorite lines and favorite moments from this chapter!
• Next up, Chalice of the Gods chapter 31.
• It might be cliché, but hiding under the pastry cart as his new BFF Barbara wheels him into the banquet hall works wonders.
• And in exchange, all Percy has to do is provide Barbara with an Annabeth Chase meet-and-greet opportunity.
• Do nymphs and dryads see demigods as celebrities?
• What’s scarier—facing down a lion or Percy’s future mother-in-law?
• Really, Athena spotting him is best-case scenario because any of the others might’ve caused trouble for Percy.
• We appreciate that Rick doesn’t shy away from how gross Zeus actually is.
• Imagine what TOO MUCH praise would mean to Ganymede?
• Did you figure out what a demi-bag was?
• Did we want more of a scene in the banquet? Would it have worked out for Percy if there was more of a confrontation?
• Sometimes Percy is a little lucky!
• Time for our favorite lines and favorite moments from this chapter.

• Solomon wonders if Annabeth could give Percy his third quest.
• It’s an interesting question, and we have a theory of our own!
