    This week, Connor and Jack talk about one of the best chapters in the novel. Chapter 11 features Percy Jackson entering the lair of Medusa in a horror-mystery style encounter that creates some amazing character interaction and allows this classic monster to shine before Connor breaks down everything you need to know about Medusa in this week's myth section!

    Chapter 9: I Am Offered a Quest | The Lightning Thief

    Please note: we had some technical issues causing Connor and Jack's audio to overlap as you get toward the end of the episode. Apologies for any sections that sound like we're starting a sentence while the other person is still talking! Percy Jackson is getting a quest! Join Connor and Jack as they talk about the prophecy for Percy's first quest, create new headcanon about demigods at Woodstock and of course, chastise Chiron. All of that is followed up by a myth section featuring the history and mythology of the Oracle of Delphi. The Oracle's Visions!

    Chapter 8: We Capture a Flag | The Lightning Thief

    It's time for capture the flag. That's right everyone! It's time for Connor and Jack's most anticipated chapter of Percy Jackson and the Olympians so far! Join in the excitement as they talk about the incredibly well written tragedy of Luke's setup as an antagonist, Camp Half-blood shenanigans, and an important conversation with Grover, and of course, don't forget that this all leads up to capture the flag! And after all that, Connor does his most in depth myth breakdown yet as this week's entire myth section is dedicated to the history and mythology surrounding the fearsome hellhound...

    Chapter 7: My Dinner Goes Up in Smoke | The Lightning Thief

    Join Connor and Jack as they discuss Percy Jackson's first week at Camp Half-blood before sitting down to talk some history and some myths.

    Chapter 6: I Become Supreme Lord of the Bathroom | The Lightning Thief

    As Percy Jackson gets his tour of Camp Half-blood from Chiron, Connor and Jack rapidly flip between discussing the things they love about the setting and yelling at Chiron for refusing to give a straight answer at literally every possible opportunity! Alongside that, this chapter features the proper introduction of Annabeth as well as Luke and Clarisse. And to round things out, Connor discusses some of the mythology of the Hermes, patron of travelers and thieves and carrier of a magical snake stick! The Oracle's Visions!

    Chapter 5: I Play Pinochle with a Horse | The Lightning Thief

    Listen in as Connor and Jack go on a variety on tangents in this slower chapter of the novel. Will Connor pronounce Pinochle correctly in this episode? No! Is he wrong about how many times Argus appears in the book? Yes! All that and more as they discuss the food of the gods, Nectar and Ambrosia, and introduce you to the watchful Argus as well as Camp Half-blood's director, Dionysus, just like Chiron does for Percy Jackson.
