We are all super excited to see Percy’s brother make his appearance, especially since his role is so pivotal to the story.There are also tons of moments we’re looking forward to seeing, from tentpole to tender.We want to see Percy working on his fighting, both swordsmanship and harnessing the power of the ocean.If Percy Jackson and the Olympians inspires some competition, we hope it comes in the form of diverse mythologies. (And I mean, there’s a whole imprint’s worth just waiting for their chance in the sun.)Serwa may (or may not) be coming out on November 5th, 2024, but stick here for all the latest updates, because that is one story we are DYING to get our hands onWe lose our cool a little, telling Rosie about how much we love the Serwa Boateng series.Time to beg a little for a teaser detail or two for Serwa Boateng’s Guide to Saving the World, and Rosie kindly DELIVERS.Writing a book 3 is tough work.There aren’t any projects on the horizon that Rosie can tell us about right now, but she does regale us with a list of all kinds of books she’s been reading lately.

We now live in a post-Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 world.They really just punched us in the gut with that opening line, didn’t they?When did that training scene take place?This was a great segue back into the Ares fight.Someone really needs to get Annabeth up to speed.Percy and Ares certainly know how to get under each other’s skin.Does it make sense that Percy was holding his own against the god of war?Ares found out exactly what Perseus Jackson is capable of!!Adam Copeland is literally perfect in this role.How come they heard Sally’s voice as soon as Annabeth picked up the helmet?Did Percy offer the helm in good faith in the hopes that it would score him some bonus points with Hades?Alecto has a lot of reverence for Hades and his artifacts.It’s probably not the smartest idea for Percy to walk into Olympus, but he’s done running from monsters.THE LOOK ON PERCY’S FACE AS ANNABETH GIVES HIM HER NECKLACE.Luke is so excited Percy is picking up what he’s putting down.Did Luke betray Annabeth by telling Percy she’s afraid of spiders?Why didn’t we get to see what book the security guard was reading!?Did you catch all the different architecture that makes up Olympus?Why did Percy have to climb that hill??The silence as Percy handed over the bolt was SO LOUD.We’re obsessed with Lance’s portrayal of Zeus and the musicality of his delivery.It maybe wasn’t the smartest thing in the world to stand up to Zeus, but the guy really needed to hear what Percy had to say.Poseidon surrenders in order to save his son!!And he gets a little manipulative by bringing up Thalia’s bravery and how it inspired Percy to do the right thing with the bolt.We loved hearing the Ancient Greek.Oh, Zeus, you’re gonna be seeing A LOT of Percy going forward.The meeting between Percy and Poseidon very nearly broke us.The sea does not like to be restrained.Poseidon’s face when Percy asks if he dreams about Sally–OMG.That was an unceremonious exit if we ever saw one.Was Percy supposed to end up in the ocean?He’s a whole different person now, and Camp must feel like a totally different place.Were those the Stohl Brothers!?Annabeth has changed a lot too!!When did Annabeth figure out that Luke was the one who betrayed them?It was very helpful when Percy went back through the prophecy line by line.Luke really didn’t want Grover to get hurt.It’s SO easy to empathize with Luke’s feelings, even if we don’t agree with his actions.Did you catch the glint in his eye??Anyone else forget that Backbiter could open portals??Luke does NOT want to hear Percy’s excuses for the gods.What did that letter H represent?Percy’s got some smooth moves!Poor, poor Annabeth. At least Luke knows not to take her on, too.Kronos might be very, very persuasive, but Percy is very, very stubborn.We’re glad we got to see Mr. D again.Annabeth looks so pretty in her final scene!Of course Grover’s searcher’s license is an actual flower.Did anyone figure out Percy’s reunion with his mom was actually a dream?This is our best look yet at Kronos.Whatever you do, don’t call Kronos “Grandpa.”We’ve said this before and we’ll say it again—Sally Jackson is the best mom ever.Blue pancakes!!Did you catch the after credits scene?Did Hermes do that on purpose, knowing what would happen?Feedback (02:03:31)

We got to see Percy Jackson and the Olympians episodes 1 and 2 ahead of the premiere date and WE’RE SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS SHOW.First, we have to give you our overall thoughts, which is that we absolutely loved the episodes we got to see.The quality of the show is immaculate, between the set production, the costuming, and the visual effects.It’s also extremely accurate to the source material!Anything they changed was small-scale, and felt logical for the tone of the story.Seeing Camp Half-Blood was surreal, and the Big House was beautiful!It was amazing that they somehow made everyone look like individuals despite all wearing the same shirts.And Chiron and Mr. D’s costumes were perfect and fit them so well.We talk more about the dryad that Tish Monaghan mentioned.Okay, but now we need to get into our thoughts on everyone’s performances.Walker Scobell as Percy Jackson is literally perfect. He OWNS this character.We also can’t get enough of Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase.She’s silent a lot through her scenes, but she says SO MUCH.And then there’s Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood.He’s got great chemistry with Walker, and his comedic timing is also genius.But we were super impressed by Virginia Kull as Sally Jackson.And no one will be surprised that Jason Mantzoukas is the perfect Dionysus.And the same goes for Glynn Turman as Chiron, who is more perfect than anyone could’ve dreamed.This is, without a doubt, the Percy Jackson and the Olympians adaptation that we’ve always dreamed of.Feedback (02:42:58)

Let’s kick off this week’s discussion with Chalice of the Gods chapter 18.Imagine being a son of Poseidon and then…drowning!Did this scene feel like a nod to the complaints that Percy is a little OP sometimes?And his first thought was whether Annabeth was okay!!We loved Ellison’s reaction to Percy cleaning the cavern.Tip of the day: Green tea can give you anxiety!!How did the idea of demigods visiting the river come up, and was it Annabeth or Ellison’s idea?Was Percy serious about whale yoga!?Annabeth always has a plan!Karen didn’t feel like choosing only one favorite quote this episode, so she didn’t.Kristen serenades us with the chorus of “Help!”Next up, we’re discussing Chalice of the Gods chapter 19.Playing the song “YMCA” is clearly a desperate call for help.We loved when Annabeth trolled Percy and tricked him into skipping.It’s hard not to imagine what this book would look like on screen.How long has Zeus known about Percy?It was only a matter of time before Karen went off on a tangent about Tremors.Karen did a mini deep dive into the mythologies centered around horned serpents.Callie might not care about laser pointers or boxes, but she loves popcorn.Percy’s last thoughts before he thinks he’ll die are centered around Annabeth AND WE LOVE TO SEE IT.We want to know why rainbows taste and smell so bad, but maybe we shouldn’t question the science.Last but not least, it’s time to discuss Chalice of the Gods chapter 20.Is…is this considered satyr boudoir?We never would’ve guessed Mercedes was the staff.Does Kristen have any idea who Gary is!?Iris was shockingly helpful in this chapter.Kristen was very excited to make fun of Wisconsin.There are SO MANY great quotes in these three chapters.Feedback (01:25:12)
Maria asks if that scene between Eudora and Percy where she tells him about getting double credit for the quests was Rick’s backup plan for doing this story all in one book.Shout-out to J. Maya for being a fan of the podcast. We hope her music makes it into the show at some point!If you’re from the UK, you can enter a chance to win tickets to the London premiere for Percy Jackson and the Olympians.Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 111, in which we’ll discuss Chalice of the Gods chapters 21-23!

Prophecy Radio episode #109 tackles Chalice of the Gods chapters 15-17, in which we head to the River Elisson and meet the Man Bun of Doom! We also discuss the latest news from the Riordanverse, but it’s a pretty light week because of the holiday. At least we have some new photos to discuss thanks to the Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief tie-in edition. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air weekly, and we keep our discussions PG-13.
News and Updates (00:06:20)
We spend a good amount of time talking about…volcanoes.Be sure to check out PJO Pod’s interviews from NYCC!We also discuss the photos that came out with the Lightning Thief tie-in edition.We all want a Yancy Academy sweatshirt.Is that second picture outside of Yancy Academy?How does everyone feel about Luke’s scar?Have we seen a bigger photo of Percy and Annabeth in the bathroom?We can’t wait to see Percy trying out all the different activities to see what he’s good at.Will we see anyone who could be Beckendorf?Dior Goodjohn is really convincing Kristen that she’s gonna be an amazing Clarisse.Look at Grover’s little horns!!That box has got to be the shoes…right??We’re obsessed with Medusa’s whole look.Chalice of the Gods discussion (00:14:14)
This week, we’re starting off with Chalice of the Gods chapter 15.Reader, she flushed Percy Jackson all the way out to Yonkers.Applying to college is SO confusing.Ellison sounds grumpy and Eudora does NOT want to make him any angrier.Luckily, she finds a way to send him where he needs to go.Maybe we figured out how kids get all their gold drachmas?Did you know they paved over a lot of streams in New York City?The river is really, REALLY dirty downstream.Percy has to come back later with the staff and some backup.In Chalice of the Gods chapter 16, Grover busts out some snake songs—though, unfortunately, none of them are from Taylor Swift.Kristen is SO Annabeth and Karen is SO Grover.The bioluminescent moss scene was soooo cute.We loved every second Grover decided to take the lead and how far he’s come.Shockingly, Annabeth brings up both Luke Castellan and his flying shoes.They’ve got a pretty solid plan until they hear the panpipes, then Annabeth shoves Percy off the cliff!In Chalice of the Gods chapter 17, they meet the Man Bun of Doom.Somehow Percy loves the fact that Annabeth shoved him off a cliff.Did you see the Read Riordan article about the River Elisson?We’re kind of obsessed with how sarcastic Elisson is.No demigods, no shoes, and absolutely NO using his headwaters!!Who hurt Elisson? We really need to know.He clearly has an inferiority complex, and Percy hits a nerve.How long DOES it take for a child of Poseidon to drown?Can your dreams determine who your godly parent is!?Feedback (00:51:30)
Shannon wrote in about Sally Jackson’s age and some great moments in this week’s chapters.Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 110, in which we’ll discuss Chalice of the Gods chapters 18-20!

Prophecy Radio episode #108 finally discusses Chalice of the Gods chapters 12-14, which we’ve been promising for a couple weeks now! We also do a deep dive into the brand-new, full-length Percy Jackson and the Olympians trailer. The show is almost a month out now, and we’re getting more excited than ever! New episodes of Prophecy Radio air weekly, and we keep our discussions PG-13.
News and Updates (00:09:46)
We spend a good part of our intro talking about the fact that Goodreads removed the middle grade & children’s, poetry, and graphic novels categories.Timothy Omundson wrote a beautiful message on Instagram about playing Hephaestus.Andrew Alvarez FINALLY confirmed he’s playing Chris Rodriguez.We found out that the review embargo lifts on December 14.Liam gives us some pretty amazing stats about the Percy Jackson and the Olympians trailer.Okay, it’s time to talk about the full-length Percy Jackson and the Olympians trailer.We cannot get over how much Azriel Dalman looks like a young Walker Scobell!Seaweed Brain Podcast mentioned how they went to NYCC and found out that Percy and Sally’s relationship will be expanded for the show.There are a bunch of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it flashes of footage before the title hits the screen.We’re totally supposed to hate Nancy Bobofit, but we really love this actress.Gotta be careful about how trailers are cut because it could be misleading!Is that shot of Blackjack from the opening seven minutes of the show?We also see Chiron give Percy Riptide, which was another scene they got to see at NYCC 2023.Did you catch that quick flash of Cerberus jumping for the red ball in Percy’s hand?What do you think of Luke’s scar?It definitely looks like the minotaur comes down from the sky.Still laughing at the choice to make Poseidon’s shirt so wrinkly.Did you notice that the top of Poseidon’s throne looks like waves?We discuss what the thrones actually look like according to the book.Placing the master bolt down in from of the Empire State Building guard was SO exciting to see!Clarisse’s spear is BADASS.Is that dark forest the underworld? If so, could what we thought was the oracle actually be something else?Could we possibly see Hestia?Percy’s shirt is SO MUCH BRIGHTER than everyone else’s.We’re so glad this trailer gives us some more humorous moments.Is that hydra target a reference to the first movie!?Did you catch the demigod in a wheelchair?What lit up the tunnel of love ride?Annabeth is amazing, but we’re not telling you anything you don’t already know.Unlock your destiny. Unleash your power.Hold fast. Brave the storm. OUR HEARTS.That chimera looks terrifying!Chalice of the Gods discussion (00:45:39)
This week, we’re starting off with Chalice of the Gods chapter 12.We really love how much of a slice-of-life story this is.Percy was impressive, but not TOO impressive.The Mist really works wonders!We’re kind of obsessed with Standard Olympian Beverage Number 5.Percy fills Ganymede in on the plan, and even though Ganymede is nervous, he’s choosing to trust his elected demigod.Percy and Annabeth chat via Iris Message, and we love their relationship so much.But we still have a lot of questions about how they earn drachmas!Imagine being Annabeth’s roommate lol.In Chalice of the Gods chapter 13, the trio meets up with Blanche.Grover is obsessed with Blanche. Karen is obsessed with Blanche. Everyone is obsessed with Blanche.We get a really specific description of Iris, and her eyes sound absolutely mesmerizing.Reptile guys and goth girls really go together, if you didn’t already know.Is complete indifference the best way to get your godly parent’s attention!?We discuss the favor that Annabeth now owes Blanche for introducing them to her mother.Next up is Chalice of the Gods chapter 14, in which Iris gives Percy a big stick!Imagine that, Iris is actually a good listener.And being a cupbearer is a thankless job.The goddess doesn’t give information away for free, so they have a quest within a quest to accomplish.We also get an official deadline for Ganymede’s quest, and it’s pretty long compared to most of the others Percy’s had to deal with over the years.Where is the River Elisson and how can they possibly find it!?Now the horned serpents and all the rainbows on the Chalice of the Gods UK cover make so much more sense.Feedback (01:13:15)
Sean has another guess as to what could be in the box.Nicolaas may have fallen behind (it’s okay!), but he was excited to jump into our discussion of all the recent Percy Jackson and the Olympians footage.And Ms. Bobbilicious also wrote in to tell us her idea for Rick’s cameo—and we LOVE IT.Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 109, in which we’ll discuss Chalice of the Gods chapters 15-17!

Life has been pretty chaotic on every front lately, but we’re doing our best to get back into the groove of the podcast. Thanks for sticking with us!We start the episode with a discussion of Rick’s October 17 blog post, in which he discusses what’s going on in Gaza at the present moment.This post had no promotion, and it was seemingly deleted and then reuploaded.Rightfully, fans have been critical of Rick for talking about Gaza and then transitioning into self-promotion.Please be aware there is A LOT of misinformation out there about what’s happening right now, so do your due diligence and verify all the information you’re receiving before passing it on.Tehlor Kay Mejia, Daniel José Older, and Sarwat Chadda have been speaking out a lot on their platforms about Gaza, Israel, and Palestine, so be sure to follow them for additional resources.Mark Oshiro is raising funds for Palestine through Books for Palestine. The auction is now live.Here is a list of Palestinian journalists on the ground in Gaza.If you have the ability to donate, charities like Save the Children, Doctors without Borders, and Palestine Children’s Relief Fund are good places to start.You can also use 5Calls to talk to your representatives about a ceasefire.Rick also wrote a blog post on October 23 about the recent releases from Rick Riordan Presents, and some upcoming titles.We’re particularly looking forward to A Drop of Venom, Winston Chu vs. the Wingmeisters, and It Waits in the Forest.Read Riordan has also been busy over the last two weeks, wanting you to catch up with Zyanya from Dawn of the Jaguar, as well as meet Admiral Paik from Fox Snare.They also wrote a cute little article about how to sneak into Camp Half-Blood.Graci Kim also announced the title and a vague release date for her next book, Dreamslinger.We read through the synopsis and confirm that we’re really excited about this one!Kristen’s Korner is back as we discuss the last two episodes of Survivor season 45 and J’s fate on the island.The SAG-AFTRA strikes are ongoing, and we’re waiting with bated breath to see what becomes of them.Chalice of the Gods by Rick Riordan (00:36:54)
Let’s kick off our discussion with Chalice of the Gods chapter 9!Getting chased by chickens is, like, Karen’s worst nightmare.Annabeth is SO SMART, and we love how single-minded she is in leading the trio.Grover is so helpful in this chapter, and we love seeing him be the person with all the helpful information.Did you know that Hebe and Hercules got married!?Did we just find out why satyrs age half as fast as humans!?Grover must go distract the chickens while Annabeth and Percy commit a party fowl.NGL, we kinda love Li’l Killer.Okay, the plan is to sing a song and beg for forgiveness.The backup plan is Plan Chick…whatever that means!This chapter may have contained Karen’s single favorite joke in all of Rick Riordan’s books.Let’s move on to Chalice of the Gods chapter 10.It’s time to belt out a tune by some guy.Why is the choice always the plan succeeds or we die!?This is 90% all Percy’s fault.Percy has his priorities, and Annabeth has hers.When did you figure out what Plan Chick was?Annabeth really is a genius. This was SO CLEVER.The trio FINALLY get returned to their proper ages.It’s now time for Chalice of the Gods chapter 11.Hebe sends the trio after Iris, down at the farmers’ market.It’s so cute how excited Percy is for a local quest, but also pretty sad how traumatized he is by being turned back into a little kid.Sally Jackson gets the Mother of the Century award.Do we have to worry about her getting older!?What was Percy like when he was a kid?Mark Oshiro’s influence on Rick is SO OBVIOUS in this chapter.Yes, Percy, MILLIONS of people have dreamt of slipping into your life.Can Percy wash the dishes and play video games at the same time!?Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 107, in which we’ll discuss Chalice of the Gods chapters 12-14!
