   Episode #154 – You Can Do Both

   Prophecy Radio episode #154 includes our discussion of Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 8, “The Fleece Works Its Magic Too Well.” We’re skipping the news again this week, but we also discuss the last episode of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast, which features Aryan Simhadri and Walker Scobell being besties. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. No News this week! We’ll get caught up soon! Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 8 discussion (00:09:40) It’s finally time to discuss the finale!! We kick off this episode with a flashback to that night on Half-Blood Hill before jumping back to Percy listening to Annabeth and Grover excitedly discussing Thalia’s return. Blackjack appears in the road and Percy knows him. Sally wants to help, but this is quite literally Percy’s battle, so she has to let him go do demigod things. Tantalus is being insufferable back in the hippodrome, but everyone is put out of their misery pretty quickly. Luke’s forces have already been attacking Camp, and he arrives with even more. He’s changed his tune since last time, saying anyone left inside Camp will be burned to the ground, but he does say Thalia’s tree must be protected. Percy and Annabeth have an uncomfortable discussion about Thalia’s loyalty. Percy and Co. come across some armed Campers, and they have to surrender to them. Mr. D doesn’t want to believe anything is wrong, but Percy gives an impassioned speech about how Kronos is back. Clarisse listens as Chris tells her there are traitors in their midst, then reveals himself as one of those traitors! This is a little different than what happened in the book, but it makes sense to give Chris a larger role in the show. Turns out, Clarisse DOES have friends!! Percy and Luke square off, and it becomes obvious they have different objectives. It’s bloody and violent, but this is only the beginning—just wait until season 5! Tyson comes to the rescue, and he wins an award for Best Brother of the Century! Allison shoots Annabeth with an arrow, but Percy must focus on the task at hand: Saving Thalia’s tree. He hands the fleece off to Clarisse in another show of trust and maturity, and we’re totally here for it. Thalia’s shocking returns knocks Percy out. Percy is seaside with Poseidon, who tells him what they’re all up against. Poseidon invited Tyson to be by his side, but Percy’s destiny lies elsewhere. This scene is so emotional, between Tyson thanking Poseidon for bringing him to Percy and Sally, to Poseidon saying love is even stronger than Fate. Chiron is back and Percy still drools in his sleep, so all is right with the world. Clarisse is in charge of preparing Camp’s troops. It gets a little awkward, but one “Shut up, Jackson” makes everything feel normal again. Chiron tells the truth of what happened that night on Half-Blood Hill. What did we think of Courtney B. Vance’s interpretation of Zeus? Thalia returns, and Percy is feeling pretty conflicted about it. We also discuss the TWO bonus scenes at the end of the episode. Kristen has some follow-up questions. Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast highlights (01:21:05) We get to see Aryan’s audition tape for Percy Jackson, the character! Aryan interviews his best friend, Walker, who talks about how the fight sequence at the end of the finale sets up season 3. They discuss Percy’s big speech, and how Percy will continue to grow and evolve over the coming seasons. These books really did inform Walker’s personality. Toby Stephens takes a break from playing Captain Hook to chat with them—but he never takes a break from smelling amazing! Once again, everyone has such nice things to say about Daniel Diemer. Walker and Toby also have some super nice things to say about each other. It’s not easy playing a god, but Toby is pretty great at it. Also, he’s acting royalty, so he’s kind of the perfect person for this role. They talk about Lance Reddick and Courtney B. Vance. Aryan and Walker discuss Thalia’s role in season 2. Then it’s time to discuss season 3! Olive and Levi (Bianca and Nico) just got drenched for the first time on set, which seems to be a right of passage for this cast. Walker hates school and wishes he didn’t have to go anymore. The guy playing Thorn (David Costabile) is apparently fantastic. Aryan got to play his panpipes and the two of them also watched the first movie and then the first season together. Walker also discusses his favorite scene from this season. Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode #155, where we’ll discuss all the latest Percy Jackson and the Olympians news. This episode’s hosts are: Karen and Kristen Each episode, Prophecy Radio‘s hosts will discuss any official news coming out of Camp Half-Blood before doing a chapter by chapter reread of Percy Jackson or one of Rick Riordan’s other series.

   Episode #153 – Not-So-Mortally Wounded

   Prophecy Radio episode #153 includes a lively discussion of Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 7, "I Go Down with the Ship." No news this time, but we will definitely catch up on that soon. Plus, hear a recap of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast, which features guests Virginia Kull, Jon Steinberg, Preiti Simhadri, and musical maestro Bear McCreary. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. No News this week! We'll get caught up soon! Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 7 discussion (00:00:00) Let's start with a flashback (and emo Luke's beanie). Annabeth is having Golden Fleece fever dreams. The dock supervisor in the Long Island Sound is not happy about the unscheduled cruise ship docking We meet our first child of Aphrodite (and he totally steals the scene) Clarisse & Percy both have their missions and they head off with single-minded focus Mythomagic lives! Will we ever hear Blackjack? Or is it always going to be in Percy's head? Percy accomplishes his goal, but also takes new orders. Luke is having trouble believing Kronos is keeping secrets. Tyson and Grover have some issues with transportation. Sally Jackson to the rescue! Clarisse & Percy do a switcheroo and end up accomplishing each other's missions. Percy meets the Krono-phagus... And then he yoinks the Golden Fleece to shut him up. Percy and Luke have a moment (and it ends with a little stabbing between friends) Clarisse is flabbergasted that Percy is willing to let her go. "Thanks, Percy," is when everything started to change for Clarisse. Nothing like a road trip back to camp in a mysterious car Kronos gives Luke a splitting headache as punishment for questioning his authority. Next time on Percy Jackson and the Olympians... War prep Poseidon and Percy have a moment Time to rally the troops Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast highlights (00:00:00) Aryan, Walker, and Virginia call Toby for a quick check in. This episode is all about the moms! That bumper sticker belongs to a certain mortal educator It's endearing how this cast and crew is so protective of these kids. Sally feels Percy-vibes when Tyson shows up Virginia really loves Tyson as a character and how the show is portraying him. Jon Steinberg is right: Sally Jackson is the emotional center of the show. Clarisse gets the spotlight to show that young bullies learn their ways from somewhere. Plus, her growth makes the whole story more interesting. This cast affects not just the writers, but how Rick Riordan himself envisions these characters. Virginia gets thanked for helping a child to not feel broken. (And we all cry.) Aryan's mom talks about how supportive and cooperative all the parents are. Turning 18 doesn't magically make kids into adults. Bear McCreary is here to talk all things score and soundtrack. Each character's theme fits their arc: Percy's is big hero-ey, Grover's is light and funny, while Annabeth's brings the mystery. Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode #154, where we'll recap Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 8, as well as the finale of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast.

   Episode #152 – Tyson, the Wish-Granting Fairy

   Prophecy Radio episode #152 offers wooly thoughts alongside a discussion of Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 6, “Nobody Gets the Fleece.” There’s also some news to discuss, as well as a recap of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast, which features guests Aleks Pauvnoic, Albert Kim, and the incomparable Andrew McIlroy. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. News and Updates (00:05:44) Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 has debuted with strong numbers according to The Wrap (https://www.thewrap.com/media-platforms/tv/percy-jackson-season-2-premiere-ratings-pluribus-nielsen-debut/). We can’t help but mention Pluribus, as it seems everyone is watching it at the moment. Did you know there’s an official Percy Jackson and the Olympians shop (https://percyjackson.shoptwdc.com/collections/all?filter.v.price.gte=&filter.v.price.lte=&sort_by=best-selling&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23337904269&gbraid=0AAAABCOfDw-EUM2xb_1btv36-Ke7c_iXJ&gclid=CjwKCAiAmp3LBhAkEiwAJM2JUA49HIFeKVVgfi4AecopwqZnaC2s61QbLa6ptmAYRFMhcwKA2W-MyBoCf0IQAvD_BwE) now? You can also get some great merch at Hot Topic (https://www.hottopic.com/search?q=percy%20jackson&search-button=&lang=default)! Did you catch the beautiful birthday message (https://www.instagram.com/p/DTI4Ap3EVyP/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D) to Walker from his dad? There’s no Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 4 renewal news, but they ARE working on it at the moment. We channel a little Positive Patty and/or Optimistic Olivia energy and talk about the chances of getting seasons 4 and 5. Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 6 discussion (00:14:52) Let’s kick off the episode 6 discussion with Tyson in the water. Daniel Diemer does such a good job of getting Tyson’s thoughts and feelings across while underwater. RAINBOW TO THE RESCUE. Percy has a pretty awful dream about Camp. It looks like Kronos is dropping by, but when the hood is pulled back it’s someone else. Why do you think they showed Thalia in this scene? How does Percy know what she looks like? Percy wants to get a head start on their plan, but Annabeth remains calm and tells him that’s not a good idea. Back on the island, Polyphemus regales Clarisse and Grover with tales of his solitary life. Shoutout to Nobody. They made Polyphemus SO MUCH SCARIER than he was in the books. We keep hearing Pan’s name. Percy keeps watch while Annabeth grabs some pelts. Luke interrupts with some rainbow wiggles. Annabeth admits Luke might be right about Thalia’s feelings about Zeus, but he was also wrong to think she’d be on Kronos’ side. This part wasn’t in the book, but it’s such a great addition. Percy has a dramatic entrance. Was he worried that Annabeth might be betraying him? Was the call about recon or about checking in on Annabeth? “Think wooly thoughts.” Those sheep sounds were pretty legit. Plot twist! Polyphemus set a trap for the demigods. We get a classic Clarisse and Percy moment. Annabeth uses that big brain of hers to distract Polyphemus. Luke uses a portal to travel to the island, and Karen has some questions about the science of the magic. Shoutout to the makeup department because Annabeth’s wounds looked BRUTAL. All seems lost…until Tyson returns! Did Percy understand what they said in Ancient Greek? How did Tyson get one up on Polyphemus? Luke arrives at the worst or possibly even the best time. Percy really did try to come up with a different solution than just handing over the fleece. Were we surprised Luke healed Annabeth? How do we feel about the changes from the book here? Tyson saves the day AGAIN, and Percy is so glad he’s alive. And like the wish-granting fairy that he is, Tyson has a solution to their problem of no transportation. Percy gets yet another epic line to end the episode. Next time: Young Annabeth, a recovering sarcophagus, Clarisse liking her odds, and BLACKJACK!! Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast highlights (01:25:15) Aryan and Aleks are in divorce arbitration, and Andrew makes his big debut on the podcast. But first we need to talk about what is was like to play Polyphemus. This is not the first time Aleks has been a cyclops in a Percy Jackson production. Did you realize they did mostly practical effects for Polyphemus? What character inspired the “simple” version of Polyphemus? Did you know what forced perspective was? Which did you like better, the proposal or the prom pictures? The second guest on the podcast was Albert Kim, one of the series’ writers. They wanted to surprise even the most diehard fans of the books. We talk about Percy’s fatal flaw, and his reaction to giving up the fleece. It’s no surprise the sheep were afraid of Polyphemus. Aryan finally gets his ring! Andrew McIlroy returns to talk about his experience on the show so far. It was interesting hearing how they “found” Tyson and Teen!Luke. Kronos is totally a cult leader. We get some insight into how the kids prepare for each scene, including an example of the exercise with the ball that they do to get into character. Why doesn’t Andrew go to any of the functions? Where did his commitment to the craft come from? Everyone has such respect for Glynn Turman. Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode #153, where we’ll recap Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 7, as well as the next episode of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast. This episode’s hosts are: Karen and Kristen Each episode, Prophecy Radio‘s hosts will discuss any official news coming out of Camp Half-Blood before doing a chapter by chapter reread of Percy Jackson or one of Rick Riordan’s other series.

Episode #154 – You Can Do Both

Published 16 Mar 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And it's all illustrated very well in this scene. Yeah, I tear up literally every time I watch this scene because he's just so genuine about it. And it's really beautiful. Yeah, so Percy offers his services to Poseidon as well. And Percy's destiny lies elsewhere. And Poseidon, he tells Percy that he planned to tell him the great prophecy as Percy got closer to 16. But clearly... He's already aware of it. And, you know, he's not apologizing because he's basically saying, like, you're too young to know this stuff. You shouldn't have to be aware of this right now. Like, I know you are. And he's not going to pretend that he doesn't, you know, that Percy doesn't know already. […]
