Jane and Jacqueline, the Unwise Girls, are reading through all of Rick Riordan's mythology-based book series, from Percy Jackson to Magnus Chase and everything in-between. Jacqueline's read a lot of these, and Jane's read just a couple, so have fun on the journey with us!

161: Strong Male Friendship
The Ship of the Dead, ch. 25 to 30
This week on Unwise Girls we talk about the unfortunately platonic-seeming relationship between Hearthstone and Blitzen, the confusing trajectory of gay(?) anti-Irish(?) misogynist (that one's not in question) Halfborn Gunderson, pawns of prophecy, the best things to do while pissing, the emotion of inheritance, and the apparently inherent evil of helping people for the wrong reasons.
Come back next week for The Ship of the Dead, ch. 31 to 36!

160: Own Goal Car Bomb
The Ship of the Dead, ch. 19 to 24
This week on Unwise Girls we talk about Jane's big travel mistake, a pretty dead-on depiction of York, the psychology of TJ, the troubles with assuming someone's gender, also just The Troubles, triage, Seinfeld, things you probably can't actually blame on Loki, Riordan's signature childhood animal trauma, and highly conspicuous Tolkien references.

Nectar of the Pods: Episode 69 - Big Red Tequila
Tres Navarre, Book 1: Big Red Tequila
while the janes are away (on vacation), the jacquelines will play (by putting up the first episode of our coverage of rick riordan's ORIGINAL series, tres navarre, on the main feed!!!!). please enjoy! here's the original description:
well well well. this has been a long time coming. you thought you could just roll on back into the Patreon feed and everything would be like it was?
well you're... mostly right. it's still two dumbasses with dubious critical faculties talking about Things We Noticed, but this time it's for a whole-ass book! specifically, Big Red Tequila, Rick Riordan's debut novel from 1997, a noir-style PI story that shares a surprising amount of DNA with the Percy Jackson books. marvel as we talk about Rick Riordan's vivid descriptions of his hometown of San Antonio! groan in tandem with us as we address the weird racist shit in this book! cheer as we come out the other end thinking that despite some flaws, this is pretty good!
our theme is "Open Galaxy" by Sir_NutS on OCRemix!

159: Thank You, The British
The Ship of the Dead, ch. 13 to 18
Remember feet? We used to laugh about feet. Nowadays, when feet come up, all we can do is sigh and shake our heads. This week on Unwise Girls we talk about how Jane has sold out, Loki's greatest trick yet, gawping at toes, what place honor and goodness have in worldbuilding, workplace psychopathy, Alex's favorite anime, internalized anti-Irish prejudice, expanding your worldviews, and transphobicparents.mp4.

158: The Orange Man Bad Cometh
The Ship of the Dead, ch. 7 to 12
This week on Unwise Girls we pull into the very first stretch of our final adventure and discuss the very first Orange Man Bad moment of Rick's writing career, comforting yourself with structure, pots of mead and/or honey, unfunny hipsters, green-haired Flanderization, TFW, effective safeguards against alcoholism, and super sexy foot stuff.

157: Magnus's Cousin's Boyfriend with the Prius
The Ship of the Dead, ch. 1 to 6
If you haven't trimmed your toenails yet, this book may yet be your reminder. We've entered the final book of Magnus Chase! This week we discuss our general enthusiasm which is partially propelled by a perfunctory and performative but still pretty pleasant Percy appearance, a trip into Randolph's dirty laundry, the hallmates finally (maybe?) getting to become characters, Jane's life converging with the book, cisphobia, the disappearance of the valkyries, and a return of our least favorite Cover Corner special feature: Oops, There's Whitewashing!
