Welcome to Monster Donut! A chronological deep dive into the Percy Jackson series and all of its following spin-offs. Hosted by Phoebe, who professionally analyzes creative work as a dramaturg & story consultant, & Emily, a writer & classicist with a degree in Greek & Latin. Every two weeks, Phoebe & Emily (along with some occasional special guests) will analyze every book, short story, and odd narrative blog post in the order in which they occur within the PJO/HOO/TOA timeline. While they chat, Phoebe will sketch whatever characters/scenes are speaking to her. Those sketches will be posted on our Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok (@PJOPod on all accounts). New episodes every other Tuesday!
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Customer Reviews
Your skipping stuff
I just started listening and I’ve read the series and I’ve noticed that you aren’t covering everything(never mind that I love you guys you are awesome and i understand that you can’t fit everything in one podcast episode
Great recap and analysis
Thank you for sharing your recap and analysis of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. It’s entertaining and provides some fresh perspective. I enjoy your interest in the mythology you bring to the podcast. I hope you continue through Kane Chronicles and Magnus Chase.
HOW??????????????
