Camp Half-Pod: A Percy Jackson Podcast

Nico and Will finally make it to Tartarus! Erin uses the word penchant. It triggers Manasa. We spend a while insulting Nyx and her methods. Gorgyra gives Will and Nico couples therapy. They still need more couples therapy tbh. Nico and Will make the fall via the river of pain, and land amongst bones and acid rain. Will tries to help while Nico takes a nap, but instead gets taken captive by evil birds. Also! If you want to read Erin’s book!

It’s time to learn all about Nico’s experience in Tartarus, the first time. We miss the dumb giants from Gaea’s army. Nyx has a lot of babies, including hordes of children, which is fun. Manasa accuses Erin of being a Nico. The timeline in this book is confusing, ngl. We spend a long time discussing it. We meet a gay farmer demon (slay). Then Will meets Persephone, who is incredibly hot. ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod JOIN OUR DISCORD: https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr MERCH: https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

Nico and Will are heading deep into the underworld. We are heading deep into Care Bear lore. We’re introduced to Epiales, the nightmare demon, and then get to see our favorite not-frogs, the Troglodytes! Manasa gives us some history on Care Bears. Erin reveals her personal Care Bear lore. Editor Sammie makes a cameo to correct said Care Bear lore. Will and Nico eat shoe lace soup. We discuss mud pie. ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod JOIN OUR DISCORD: https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr MERCH: https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

We’re baaaaaack! By popular demand, we are reading The Sun and The Star. We catch up on our break from podcasting, and then dive into discussing our favorite emo boy and his sunshine boyfriend. Topics include Star Wars villains, literary structure, Sally Jackson, and trauma. Nico’s culture is not your costume. ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod JOIN OUR DISCORD: https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr MERCH: https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

It’s the final episode of the Disney+ Percy Jackson adaptation, “The Prophecy Comes True.” Cue the tears! The iconic battle between Ares and Percy comes to life on the screen (that giant wave? SO cool). Percy goes to Olympus, and we get to meet Zeus and Poseidon. Percy returns to camp, only to be betrayed by the real lightning thief. We spend a long time talking about portal swords. Percy reunites with Sally, and Gabe gets what he deserves. Thank you both new & old listeners for joining us on our watch-along, we’re saving our final thoughts on the season as a whole for our next episode!

This week, we’re going down below to the Underworld in episode 7 of the Disney + PJO adaptation, “We Find Out The Truth, Sort Of.” Percy and gang heads down to the Underworld, and we nerd out about the design choices (upside down castle?? How COOL is that???). Erin teaches Manasa the word “stalactite.” We spend a long time talking about the implications of this version of asphodel. And also…. What the heck is Annabeth’s regret? Hades is introduced, and he’s honestly kind of a dork. Percy makes the ultimate choice to be a hero, and leaves behind his mother. Speaking of Sally, we spend about half this episode gushing over her and the flashback scenes. Then Manasa ends us off with a really lighthearted fun Lightning bolt question about regret!

VEGAS, BABY!!! This week is all about episode 6 of the Disney+ adaptation, “We Take A Zebra To Vegas.” Erin vows to make as many Hamilton references as she can in honor of Lin Manuel Miranda. The trio makes it to the Lotus Casino and Grover loses the plot pretty quickly. We meet Hermes for the first time, and get some fun insights on parenting from him. Our new favorite scene is the parking garage scene. It lives in our minds rent free. We gush over how adorable the trio is and how fantastic their bond is. They make it to Santa Monica, only to be let down by Poseidon. Erin decides that Manasa needs to stop letting her speak. Includes behind-the-scenes interview audio clips from Dan Henna (Production Design) and Tish Monaghan (Costume Design).

It’s tiiiiiiime! We’re talking all about episode 5 of the Disney+ adaptation, “A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers.” We recorded this at 10pm so start off by apologizing for probably getting things wrong. We meet two gods in this episode — Ares and Hephaestus. It’s packed full of Percabeth moments, with the Tunnel of Love and a brand new scene involving a golden throne. We discuss the changes and theorize about why some of them were made. Includes behind-the-scenes interview audio clips from Eric Henry and Jeff White (VFX Supervisors)!

This week we are joined by The Newest Olympian’s very own, Mike Schubert, to discuss episode 4 of the Disney+ adaptation, “I Plunge To My Death.” We dive DEEP into discussion about monstrosity, and how this show is honing in on the theme of who is/isn’t a monster. Kronos is theatrical, as always. Echidna is a Karen chihuahua mom. We talk about all the changes made to the St Louis arch scene, and how they almost had us with Percy’s little sword switcheroo.

This week, we’re discussing episode 3 of the Disney+ adaptation, “We Visit The Garden Gnome Emporium.” It’s Medusa time!!! Our iconic trio sets off on a quest, complete with trials and tribulations, such as disagreements over the voting system, fury (not furry) attacks, and Grover singing! We discuss IN DEPTH the changes made to Medusa’s character and the way this show lends itself to conversations about monstrosity and what/who we consider monsters.

Apollo went through his trials…now it’s time for us to put him on trial. For his crimes (and just generally everything he did that offended us). In a mock-debate style, we take turns defending and prosecuting Apollo for all the terrible things he did in Greek mythology. We discuss Daphne, Cassandra, Hyacinthus, Midas, and more myths. We use the straw man argument frequently. Please note this is all very satirical and we actually think Apollo sucks for all these crimes. Enjoy the chaos! **** CONTENT WARNING: mentions of rape and suicide in the context of Greek mythology. ***————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod JOIN OUR DISCORD: https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

It’s here. It’s time to finish the last book in the last series (so far) in the Greek god universe. We can’t believe it’s been 3 whole series and 3 whole years. Erin claims that we are the Taylor Swift of podcasts. You’ll have to listen to try to understand that logic. We get sappy talking about the show and friendship, and all you amazing listeners. Apollo too gets sappy, visiting all his friends. He visits Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter. Percy got into college!! Piper is queer!! Hazel is no longer cursed?? Apollo gets a sweet moment with Meg in the end. Then we rank all 5 books and discuss our overall thoughts. We wish Apollo had overthrown Zeus, but otherwise, we love this ending. Thank you all for joining us for this series, and we’ll be back with a bonus episode next to put Apollo on trial for his crimes! And then the countdown to the show begins… ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod JOIN OUR DISCORD: https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

It’s the second to last episode of Trials of Apollo, and things get intense. But first, we talk about the actors strike ending, and how excited we are for the show. Erin can’t stop debating with herself this episode. She blames the cheese puffs. Apollo destroys Nero and his fasces, but the battle isn’t done. He has some sweet moments with Meg, and then thinks about generational trauma! Then heads down to Python via Nero and Python’s love tunnel. Python and Apollo fight. The Arrow of Dodona, our favorite stick with a tragic backstory, saves the day. May he, and the ukulele, rest in peace. Apollo and Python fall into Tartarus together, fighting. Python is defeated, and Apollo is met with the goddess Styx. She actually never wanted to punish him — he learned his lessons during his time as a mortal. Apollo then returns to godhood. Manasa’s predictions were all very true and accurate!! ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod JOIN OUR DISCORD: https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

We are approaching the end of the Tower of Nero… so naturally, it’s time for a full out battle. Apollo beats up some IT guys. All of New York can be destroyed with a single button. Nero gives another evil villain monologue, but this time it’s on Zoom. We wish this was written a few years later because Nero definitely would have had a funny background. Apollo confronts Nero in the throne room. Meg fights back, Nero can’t find his remote, and Nico once again comes to save the day. Also, Nero can’t remember names, even when his life depends on it. We discuss Nero as a villain and how he’s scarier and not as fun to read as Kronos or Gaea, because he’s so real. We also give ourselves Troglodyte names. Introducing: meep-Erin and AHHHHHH-Manasa. ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod JOIN OUR DISCORD: https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support
