Camp Half-Pod: A Percy Jackson Podcast

This week, Nico is diving into his trauma and healing. We are diving into the Blemmyae! Back at camp, Nico connects with Savannah over their grief, and gets to be the supportive figure he always wished he had. Hazel is still stuck in the invisible park prison, but a mom comes to the rescue – Naomi Solace! Naomi tells the campers what’s going on with the mythics and Hazel, and they concoct a plan to save the day. Hazel talks about redemption and guilt with Asterion, while her friends make their way to her. Podcast Links: SUPPORT US ON PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOIN OUR DISCORD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MERCH: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod

We’re at the meat of this story – Nico, Will, and Hazel find out what’s been going on with the Court of the Dead. The mythics are being judged for being different. Erin is judging the plot of this book. The Court of the Dead hates change, and charges Asterion and our girl Hazel with Crimes. Manasa gives us some lore on Bloody Mary. Hazel is taken away by the Court and Nico has some really sad dreams. Then, we get to see where Hazel and the monsters have all been taken to. Manasa gives us a deep dive on the Griffin, and Erin thinks about Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer again, for some reason. Podcast Links: SUPPORT US ON PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOIN OUR DISCORD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MERCH: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod 

The campers all band together to come up with a plan to capture whoever is taking the mythics. Erin and Manasa get distracted talking about Barbie Fairtyopia. Erin’s dogs are playing so much during this episode that we didn’t bother to edit them out. They are a part of this. We deep dive on Laverna for a moment. Hazel, Nico, and Will head to downtown San Francisco to go to court. It's time for Riordanverse SVU (dun-dun). Then, Erin tells Manasa all about the myths the Karpos are based on, one of which is quite sad! Potatoes are the fruit of the earth. <3 Podcast Links: SUPPORT US ON PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOIN OUR DISCORD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MERCH: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod

Erin and Manasa begin their Percy Jackson podcasting by debriefing the Big Animorphs News, naturally (perchance… a new podcast idea??? Stay tuned). Will there now be explicit Animorphs references in the Disney+ PJO adaptation? Crossover musical episode? Just kidding (unless…). Erin points out that the plot of this book is just like Halloweentown 3, Halloweentown High. The mythics have a hard time fitting in with the demigods. We find some more plot holes. They learn about some mysterious threats plaguing the mythics and Nico. And then… the mythics start to disappear. First Arielle, then Quinoa. Then, Manasa gives us a deep dive on the Empousa, our favorite hot weird-legged woman. PS - there were some funny bloopers edited out this episode. It was a bit of an editing beast to fix. Please enjoy the snippet at the end after the outro ;) Podcast Links: SUPPORT US ON PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOIN OUR DISCORD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MERCH: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod

Erin starts off with pretending like she never was weird about the Minotaur. She’s gaslighting herself. We wonder if this is the same story as The Sun and the Star but with lower stakes. The mythics struggle to fit in at Camp Jupiter. Mr. D provides some telehealth therapy. Then, we are joined via audio messages by a listener Chloe, who gives us a super thorough deep dive on the Minotaur’s name. Erin provides our Minotaur Deep Dive (naturally) and spends a lot of time discussing the labyrinth and the minotaur in pop culture. We love to see it!Episode References:Monstrous Women Podcast Pasiphae Episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1Xc8cV3h4TofRJJX5Q1mK9?si=CpXdnVKxS-Kdgns-nBwSJg Article about the Minotaur and violence: https://lithub.com/the-beast-inside-what-the-myth-of-the-minotaur-reveals-about-human-nature/ Reverse Minotaur: https://deciphermedia.tv/assets/imgs/misc/reverse_minotaur.png Minotauromachy: https://aestheticrealism.org/terrain-gallery/art-history-criticism/chaim-koppelman-on-picassos-minotauromachy/Podcast Links: SUPPORT US ON PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOIN OUR DISCORD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MERCH: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod 

We're back!!!! Finally, we tackle Court of the Dead, the sequel to The Sun and the Star. We have a lot of questions. First of all, who gave Mr. D a license to practice therapy??? Also, why is he suddenly nice? The premise of this book is juicy and hilarious, and we get to meet this new version of the Minotaur, or should we say, Asterion. Erin doesn't find him as hot now that he's a good guy. We don't need to talk about what that says about her. Manasa gives us a lesson on Cacodemons, which are, naturally, much weirder in Greek mythology than Rick leads on.

SEASON 2 FINALE!!!!! (screaming, crying, throwing up). This week, we're discussing Disney+'s Percy Jackson and the Olympians Episode 8 of Season 2, "The Fleece Works Its Magic Too Well." We discuss the art of adaptation and adjusting themes to be relevant to current times. What do we do when our leaders aren't standing up for us? We protect our own, that's what. There are lots of changes in this one, and we're on board with them. Manasa's question about the fleece is answered. We both sing Sally Jackson's praises. Erin compares Luke to Zeus. We love how this ended, and can't believe we have to wait for season 3 now!Be sure to follow us on socials to see reels and memes to go along with the episodes! @camphalfpodLinks:SUPPORT US ON PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOIN OUR DISCORD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MERCH: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod

It's time to invade a cruise ship, everyone. This week, we're discussing Disney+'s Percy Jackson and the Olympians Episode 7 of Season 2, "I Go Down With The Ship." Let it be known we're not entirely sure what ship is being referred to here. This episode deviates from the book the most, and we go deep into our thoughts on each change. Some? We like. Some? We're holding our breath. Manasa asks questions nobody else has about the fleece and skincare. We both crash out about Luke and continue convincing ourselves that we hate him. Clarisse gets the Annabeth. Percy gets the fleece. Two sides, and whatnot.

The gang is all here on Polyphemus's island (and it's not a tropical, relaxing island vacation). This week, we're discussing Disney+'s Percy Jackson and the Olympians Episode 6 of Season 2, "Nobody Gets The Fleece." Percy's fatal flaw is out and about this episode, and we aren't complaining. We say the word "interesting" like 37 times and work on our pronunciation of Thalia. Percy and Annabeth's plan to save Grover and Clarisse doesn't go super well. Tyson reappears and steals all our hearts.

This episode may be our new holy grail of Percabeth moments. We too would burn it all down for Annabeth!!! We talk about all the deviations they made from the books, and why they may have done that. What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be hero? This episode gets into so many of the themes we've been tracking. Sally Jackson is constantly haunting (positive) the narrative. We give Vanilla the guinea pig their flowers (#GiveVanillaAnEmmy). Also, Polyphemus is smart now? Didn't see that one coming.

Buckle up, folks, because this might be our favorite episode yet. Chalked full of flashbacks, Percabeth moments, and killer special effects, we're discussing Disney+'s Percy Jackson and the Olympians Episode 4 of Season 2, "Clarisse Blows Up Everything." We ~dive~ into discussions about Clarisse and her loyalty, Percy's complete trust in Annabeth, and Manasa's fear of pronunciation.

We are in for another treat with this episode! We discuss Episode 3 of Season 2 of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Disney+ show, "We Board the Princess Andromeda." This episode is about Clarisse, and also about Luke's MLM. WHO is the head of Kronos's marketing team? Also, what is Allison Sims's backstory? This show has successfully converted us into Clarisse supporters. They won't get us yet on Luke, though.

EPISODE 2!!!! We're so excited to talk about Episode 2 of the Disney+ Percy Jackson and the Olympians show, "Demon Pigeons Attack." We love the chariot race scene, and Mariah Carey to the rescue. We, naturally, spend a while talking about Percabeth and the tension between Annabeth and Percy. Clarisse gets a quest, but it already isn't going to go as planned. Percy tries to run away. Lin Manuel Miranda distracts us. RIP George and Martha. Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson set out on their quest aboard a ~rainbow~ raft.

SEASON 2, BABY! We are here to discuss all the good stuff in episode 1 of season 2 of the Disney+ show, "I Play Dodgeball With Cannibals." We chat about all the changes, and are obsessed with the new way the empathy link is described. The Percabeth moments in this episode are to die for, and we're only on season 2.

On our final Sea of Monsters re-listen episode, we finish up the last two chapters of the book and make final predictions for the second season of the show. We reminisce on how much we love the ending of Sea of Monsters. We ask important questions, like what kind of punk is Thalia going to be in the show?, Do trees have dreams?, and How the heck does an empathy link work?

We're at the climax of the book! Neither of us have great memories, so it was fun to revisit how this book ends. Percy and friends defeat Polyphemus. Manasa has a theory about our three brains, which we both completely forgot about. Is Percy a colonizer? Is Polyphemus a colonizer? Actually, why does Polyphemus even have the fleece? Clarisse gets to have her hero moment, and we discuss how much we love her arc. Luke delivers one of many evil villain monologues, which Percy livestreams to camp. Erin gets a dolphin fact wrong.

It's time for the fatal flaw episode! This was one of our favorite re-listens to date. It's full of lots of deep conversations and analysis, Spongebob references, and silly debates about Thalia's time as a tree. We spend a long time discussing the sirens, both in our old episode and in our new content. We revisit our discussion about our fatal flaws nearly four years later. Can your fatal flaw change over time? Or is it always the same? Is Annabeth's fatal flaw still hubris in the later books?

Our takes in this episode were frankly, all correct. While many things may have changed, we still have the same adoration for the Sea of Monsters. We listen to our past selves crash out over the anatomy of a hydra. We talk about Clarisse, and if there should be the dead army of confederate soldiers on the show. Percy gets turned into a guinea pig, and we discuss female villains.

This episode uncovers the beginnings of our Spongebob is Percy Jackson lore. Percy meets Hermes, gets his quest, and discovers Luke's new evil lair. We miss how dramatic Luke was as a villain, and theorize about how that will play out in the show. We still are not fans of cruise ships. Some things never change...

We’re back with another relisten, for Sea of Monsters Ch 4-6! This week, Erin apologizes for everything she’s ever said about Chiron. We bring back nuance in 2025, which is in character for discussing PJO. Topics include our thoughts on CGI Tyson, casting (or lack thereof, cough cough, Silena), and Taylor Swift’s apparently controversial album. A ton happens in these chapters, including Chiron’s weird music taste, an introduction to a new camp director, and the chariot race. We get pumped to see the chariot race on our screens!

We are SO excited to be re-reading (or re-listening?) to our Sea of Monsters episodes with you all to prepare for Season 2 of the Disney+ show! This episode includes over 30 minutes of new content and reactions interspersed with our original audio from Episode 10: What's Up With Dodgeball? We discuss chapters 1-3 of Sea of Monsters and pinpoint the things we are most excited to see come to life in the new season of the TV show. We also give answers to our old lightning bolt questions, nearly 4 years later, and see how much we changed. We had a lot of fun recording this and relistening and hope you all enjoy it as much as we do!Timestamps: 8:17: Old Episode Audio Begins23:19: Updated Chapter 1 Reactions39:20: Updated Chapter 2 Reactions49:35: Updated Chapter 3 Reactions59:51: Some More Chapter 3 Reactions1:04:07: Lightning Bolt Questions Old & NewSUPPORT US ON PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOIN OUR DISCORD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MERCH: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod

*drumroll please* we have finished another series! This marks our FOURTH series we've completed on this podcast. Magnus defeats Loki with the power of friendship. While we thought the flyting was a bit anticlimatic, we also thought the message was really sweet and true to Magnus's character. Loki is delivered back to the gods, and Magnus returns to Valhalla. The series wraps up nicely with Magnus and Alex opening a youth homeless shelter, and also kissing again! We give our overall thoughts on the book, and read lots of emails from listeners.

We have reached the romance! FINALLY! We naturally bring up Pirates of the Caribbean. Alex and Magnus cozy up in the cold. They meet up with Skadi, who helps them on their way to the Naglfar. Magnus drinks the mead and feels nothing. Manasa comes face to face with her shame about the ship indeed being full of the dead. There is a lot of fighting with the undead. People are invisible, and we get slightly confused about that. Magnus begins his flyting (rap battle) with Loki, and physically shrinks from the insults. SUPPORT US ON PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOIN OUR DISCORD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MERCH: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod

We welcome back third time guest Mal from Demigod Debut to discuss these Mallory-centric chapters! Mal offers her insight on being a Mallory. We think Frigg's power is kind of useless. Frigg gives the gang some guidance, and then they go murder giants. This is their second giant murder in this book alone! Rick brings up loincloths again. Maybe we should have a loincloth counter. They get the mead that they need to fight Loki, and then head towards Niflheim, where everything gets cold. Check out Mal's podcast Demigod Debut wherever you get your pods, both of us have been on her podcast!

Magnus, with the help of Jack, defeats the Dragon Daddy in a strange but effective way. It’s all very deep and traumatic. We learn about nissers, or hobs, who are cutie little sprites. Magnus volunteers to damage his soul to save Hearth. They get the whetstone that they need, and then Hearth drops the plot twist that he’s planning to eat his father’s heart! Metal. Fortunately, Magnus drops the heart and nobody has to eat it. Then they head back to the Big Banana and arrive in Flam. We learn more about Mallory’s backstory and discover her godly parent. We also get a deep dive on Irish history thanks to a listener!

It’s time for the weird giant battle. One of these seems to happen every book, and it’s where we get super confused. Alex’s clay creation, Pottery Barn, battles a lumpy clay giant, while TJ battles Hrungnir. Magnus just kind of stands there. Relatable king. We both wish we got to see more of Alex and Magnus’s relationship developing. They defeat the giant and his clay friend, and are told to travel to Flam and take the train. But before they can do that, Blitz and Hearth return. It’s time to face Hearth’s father once again. They go to Alfheim and Alderman’s home is not how they left it. Instead of a mean dad, they must face a mean dragon. We get a bit too deep because of Manasa’s Thor’s Rumbling question. Erin’s question is silly, per usual.

Manasa apologizes for the aforementioned strong opinion in the last episode. Erin has discovered sound effects on the recording platform they use. Get ready for lots of “ballpark!” Magnus learns all about Kvasir and his mead. Hearth and Blitz set off to find the location of Bolverk’s whetstone, while Magnus and his friends head towards England. TJ has an insane take about thanking the British. Erin’s history minor and liberal arts education comes on strong. Rick is a Civil War guy, unfortunately. Erin also mentions Animorphs twice this episode, and is in peak form. Manasa’s set of chapters feel like an entirely different book. They get to York and find a giant to battle, who tells them that Alex needs to create a clay sculpture giant. We get some more background on Alex and her family. SUPPORT US ON PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOIN OUR DISCORD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MERCH: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod  

Manasa has a strong opinion about the title of this book. It’s 100% because she hasn’t finished the book yet and doesn’t know the full context, but shhh, don’t tell her. Once again, Magnus has run into shenanigans with giants. Magnus and friends are captured by nine large giant water women, who are all daughters of Aegir. They are taken to Aegir’s palace, where they discover that Blitz and Hearth are being held hostage. Magnus, Sam, and Alex use dietary restrictions to save Hearth and Blitz. They ask Aegir a lot of questions about mead, and he gives them some clues for their next task. He lets them leave, however, gives his daughters permission to attack, and once again Magnus finds himself fighting giant women. Magnus calls for help from his dad, and his grandpa, Njord, shows up. Njord has a weird thing with his feet. If Greeks are Horse Girls and Romans are Furries, the Norse are Feet Guys. Magnus learns he has to challenge Loki to a flyting, which is basically an ancient roast.

Time for the final book in this series! We start off as all good books should begin, with a cameo from Percy Jackson. Manasa thinks that Jack was created specifically to anger her. Erin thinks that Jack is actually delusional and living in a false world. Percy helps Magnus train for his journey on a ship, and then Magnus and Alex go to clear out Randolph’s house, where they find some clues, and also wolves! Fenrir is the Taylor Swift of wolves. Just as we’re the Taylor Swift of podcasts. Magnus heads back to Valhalla and finds his floormates ready to launch their expedition on the sea. The boat is yellow like a banana and for some reason this really embarasses Magnus. We are pro-yellow boats. SUPPORT US ON PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOIN OUR DISCORD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MERCH: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod

ONE MORE BOOK DOWN! We finish up the final chapters of Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor. They end with a bang -- Alex shatters some pottery and Magnus asks prying questions. Then Magnus regroups with Sam and connects with our very favorite, Annabeth. We go on a long tangent about toxic relationships and how one is supposed to know when to cut someone off. We wish life gave us breaks in between major plotlines, like children's books do. Then, we wrap up with some messages from fans, including a fan made Otis and Marvin quiz!Want to take the quiz?

We are here at the climax of this book, and as usual, things get funky. Sam and Alex do a switch-a-roo on Thrym. Erin claims that Rick stole from Animorphs, again. The ceremony is at a secret second venue, Loki's cavern! Nothing says wedding like ominous bubbling liquids and a man being poisoned. Loki frees himself from his chains, and the Aesir gods show up just in time to not be very useful. At least Thor gets his hammer back. Magnus makes a hard case against jigsaw puzzles. Manasa makes a case against Boggle again. Erin comes down hard against... Crocs? Only one more episode to go for Hammer of Thor!

FINALLY, we get to see Otis and Marvin again! But first, Utgard-Loki has to encourage Magnus and friends to do some critical thinking. Sif comes to the rescue and takes them to her home. They meet up with Thor and update him on their progress so far. Otis and Marvin are there and it's very special. Sif gives everyone a makeover. Magnus continues to be down bad for Alex.

We're back with another chunk of classic Riordan fever-dream chapters! Sometime around 2016, Rick started getting silly with his side quests. This is the perfect example. Magnus makes Alex share more about her personal life. Blitz uses the power of fashion to make a magical bag. They arrive at Utgard Lanes and are challenged to a competition by all the giants. Magnus can't stop murdering giants for some reason. Somehow Blitz once again uses the power of fashion to win his competition? Sam faces fear head on. Magnus and Alex sending bowling balls to New Hampshire. Erin wants to send bowling balls to her enemies. We decide this series is actually just Ella Enchanted.

Magnus and friends climb up the rainbow (happy pride month) and visit with Heimdall, who loves a selfie. Once again, Rick dates this as solidly 2016 with selfie sticks and Vine (RIP). They are summoned to Jotunheim via a mysterious bowling alley sign, and get roped into trying to carry a giant bowling bag for giants. Apparently Jack can sew, what can’t the sword do!

Magnus and Hearth have a run-in with a fish dwarf (and possibly commits ecoterrorism). We learn about the inspiration for the Ring of Power in Lord of the Rings. Erin talks about dream journaling. Magnus and Hearth bring Mr. Alderman the treasure, and he goes crazy with power and possibly becomes a dragon. The retrieve the stone and leave Alfheim to meet up with Sam and Amir, where Sam nearly breaks Amir's brain exposing him to the world of norse mythology.

It may be episode 169 (nice), but the topics of these chapters are distinctively Not Nice! They're actually quite sad! Sam flies a plane (notably, without a license, which stresses Erin out) to drop Hearth, Magnus, and Stone Blitz off in Alfheim, to see a guy about a hot stone. The guy with the hot stone is unfortunately Hearth's abusive father. We hate Mr. Alderman. He would probably be into the Alpha Male culture if he was a human. We get to learn a lot about elf culture and society, and get a glimpse into Hearth's not-so-nice childhood.

Fresh off an hour-long yap session, we are ready to yap further about Magnus Chase. Magnus and Sam meet up with Hearth and Blitz, and traverse into the Wight's Barrow. The mummies are very democratic. The Skofnung Sword is hot, and also afraid of women, apparently. Can Jack see? How does he know the sword is hot? Also why are the swords gendered? Rick, we have questions. Erin talks about her trip to Iceland multiple times. Magnus battles a bunch of undead mummies and then Loki and Randolph show up. Blitz almost dies and in order to save him, they must go to Hearth's childhood (or, according to Manasa, biological) home and face his trauma.

It's time to fight a giant worm! And also get to know Alex better! We discuss the merits of being an introvert vs. an extrovert. Is Magnus more extroverted or introverted? What about Percy? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! Erin thinks lindworms sound kind of cute. They'd definitely get into the Salt Spitoon. Alex murders Magnus (they're off to a fantastic start). Magnus has some weird dreams, and learns about an impending wedding that's about to mess up Sam's life. Jack can fly people around like a broom now (Manasa hates this). We get to see Alex's badass death, which is nothing like Magnus's from last book.

We're back, baby! Starting off book 2 of the Magnus Chase series with the return, and consequent murder, of our favorite goat, Otis. Manasa brings up Hoodwinked this time. Magnus has a wild chase with a goat killer. Jack is really into pop music now and has had a lot of personality development. Jack is now Manasa's enemy. We get to meet Alex Fierro, a character we have long-anticipated, and see her in weasel form. Magnus is yearning immediately. Erin suggests watching both Hoodwinked and the Spongebob Movie for research purposes.

We are finally finishing this book! Magnus gets to meet his dad, who sounds hot. We get the big reveal of this book -- X is actually Odin, and was this whole time. Manasa doesn't like this plotline. She also got X confused with Halfborn for half of this book. Erin sees herself in Odin's love for a good PowerPoint. He walks us through the prophecy line by line (probably with crappy PowerPoint animation). Magnus meets up with Annabeth again, and then the book ends on quite the cliffhanger, where we see Randolph and Loki scheming. We discuss our overall thoughts on this book (hint: they're positive!) and wrap up with some final thunder bolt questions for Sword of Summer.

Sorry to our Luke lovers about the title -- if anyone can change our minds, it will be Charlie Bushnell! This week, Magnus is finally facing off with Fenris, The Wolf. We create a new character, Fernis, the nerdy brother of Fenris. Erin and Manasa decide they like The Wolf. He's very funny. He has pizzazz. We meet up with the floormates, and Gunilla dies. We're not all that sad about it. We compare Gunilla to Luke, even though they're not the same character at all. Also, we make fun of Blitz's chainmail ascot.

This week, we come to the unfortunate realization that we are Otis and Marvin. Or perhaps we are just both Otis. The jury is still out. Erin brings up giant welfare in Ella Enchanted. We both think Magnus is actually in the wrong because he killed all three of Geirod's daughters. We both hate on Gunilla. Then we meet Hel briefly, who gives Magnus a difficult choice. Then they find some dwarves to sail them to the island of Fenris wolf.

Today is Manasa's birthday episode --- wooohooo! We start off the birthday episode with a made-up fan story about the notorious Mrs. Gibson the serpent. Then we discuss the great Chris debate. We get to meet Thor, who is a bit of a himbo. Jack defeats a giant by going up it's nose. Manasa gives us a deep dive on Sleipner, the horse with 8 legs. Erin argues that self-driving cars are actually our attempt as a culture to get back to horse riding. Magnus and friends agree to help Thor look for his hammer at Geirrod's home. Then they murder his daughters!! We end by discussing popular 2015 TV shows.

We start off this week by discussing a fan-made Norse godly parent quiz (link below!) and having some deep self analysis. Then Blitz has a crafting contest and wins, thanks to Sam's animorphing powers. The gang escapes the angry dwarves, and in the process, they discover that the Sword of Summer can talk! We have PTSD because of the Arrow of Dodona. Erin proposes a theory about Rick's fixation on speaking objects in 2015. Magnus gets to see Loki again via dream, and then we meet our new favorite character, Otis the goat. Otis is the GOAT. They head to find Thor and figure out where Fenris wolf is.

We are running out of references, folks. Somehow we bring up Spongebob, Lord of the Rings, Taylor Swift, Rudolph, Jimmy Neutron, and Stardew Valley, all in one episode. Magnus and friends navigate the world tree and face the giant squirrel. They end up in Folkvanger, and meet Freya, Blitz's mom. Magnus lowkey has a crush on his aunt, but we aren't going to think about that too much. They get what they need for their quest, and finally get to Nidavellir, where all the dwarves hangout. Apparently, dwarves love Taylor Swift. Blitz finds himself entered into a crafting contest to save the world against his arch-enemy, a dwarf named Junior.

This week, Magnus and pals set sail with a strange man named Harold to see a goddess about a sword. Rick pulls his favorite trick to get two characters alone to bond. Rick also attempts to teach us about diversity. We meet Ran and get the Sword of Summer (which has yet to begin speaking). We find out who Big Boy is, and deep dive a little on Utgard-Loki. Erin talks about her Sims-induced psychosis. Then Magnus, Sam, Hearth, and Blitz find a way to the World Tree through some cute lil duck statues!SUPPORT US ON PATREON: ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true⁠⁠SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: ⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod⁠⁠SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: ⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod⁠⁠JOIN OUR DISCORD: ⁠⁠https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr⁠⁠MERCH: ⁠⁠https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod

This week we are joined by repeat guest, Mal from Demigod Debut podcast (@demigoddebutpod)! We discuss childhood shows and Mal's brother's Wiggles T-Shirt. Magnus has to face his dead body (which subsequently makes us bring up The Haunting of Hill House for the 5000th time). Annabeth finds Magnus at his own funeral. If she had a nickel for every time she's attended a funeral where the dead person shows up, she'd have two nickels... Magnus then makes a deal with Mirmir, and then gets his falafel stolen by an eagle. Mal helps us out with the timeline. Much like Rick, we do not understand the timeline of this universe. Manasa reveals her Boggle-related trauma.

Magnus dies for the second time in this book on the battlefield, and has then has his second encounter with Loki. Manasa might actually be a child of Loki, based on her penchant for mischief. Magnus gets a tour of Hotel Valhalla from Gunilla, who we don't like. Blitz and Hearth show up to rescue Magnus and take him back to the human world, but they must hurry! Or else The Squirrel will get them! Magnus gets back to the mortal world, and heads in the direction of his own funeral. Manasa and Erin both spiral out about attending their own funeral.SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=trueSUPPORT US ON KO-FI: https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpodSEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/CamphalfpodJOIN OUR DISCORD: https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgrMERCH: https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod
