Customer Reviews
Listen 👏 to 👏 this 👏 show
I've probably listened to every episode at least 3 times, Carter and Erica are so entertaining and it always just feels like you're hanging out with other Percy Jackson nerds!!
Love y'all, also which demigod from HOO do you must closely identify with?

i love this podcast so much Erica and carter you have done an amazing job and I just wanted to say thank you for this podcast !!!
lovely podcast of lovely people <3 plus a QUESTION!!
hi!!!
okay so. i could probably write a five paragraph essay on why i love this podcast but honestly that would just waste time in which YOU (yes you) could be listening to seaweed brain. so ill just say that seaweed brain and its two lovely hosts are genuinely one of the best things ive discovered in the past few years and have brought me SO much joy! and honestly has shaped the way i interact with the fandom and think about characters and plot and stories and !!! its also just a wonderful time if you havent reread the books in a while because you get to dive back into content you love—and might have forgotten about—with a critical and comedic (and gay) lens :)
i apologize to all my irl and online friends for referencing this podcast constantly mwahaha but thank you erica and carter for putting such positive energy out into the world AND encouraging critical thought and nuance, especially about our favorite things! so excited for the pjo show and to relisten over and over to you all rewatching each episode clip by clip >:)
anyways, my question is… not really a serious one 😭 but (and no spoilers i promise) have you seen that one scene in the new shadow and bone season where wylan throws dust in his attacker’s eyes JUST LIKE ANNABETH WITH THE EMPOUSAE IN HOH!??! i screamed. anyways yes i did just waste my one question on bringing your attention to a niche wylan annabeth parallel I HOPE YOU BOTH HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY <3 much love
