To help us wrap up our analysis on #PJOTV season one, we finally found someone in our life with zero prior knowledge of Percy Jackson!!! After identifying and locating Sam, we recorded a pre-interview with them, asked them to watch all of season one, and then interrogated them for a full hour on their thoughts, opinions, and specific feedback moving into season two (as though we were literally writing season two. lol. erica and carter need to go outside). Join us!!

Customer Reviews
Best podcast ever
I have no words
ABSOLUTELY MY FAVOURITE
I’ve been listening to this podcast for years and it is INCREDIBLE!!! Carter and Erica are such interesting, well-read, and engaging people. Their interpretations and perspectives on the Percy Jackson (and extended Rick Riordan universe) books are so rich and add so much to my experience of the fandom. On that note, this is my favourite corner of this fandom. It is the perfect combination of nostalgia and community created by this podcast. Their interviews with people like Jorrel Javier, Mark Oshiro, and the creatives behind the Disney + show are so so well done and leave me smiling from ear to ear. Additionally, the audio is always of such high quality. Highly, highly recommend this podcast to like literally everyone ever.
So good. Like soooo good.
Really awesome, it’s great to be able to hear so many different peoples opinions and thoughts on all of these series and even though I’ve only just started listening I’m already inthralled. This podcast (and the people who made it) are truly a blessing to our fandom.
