Camp Half-Pod: A Percy Jackson Podcast

The original She-Wolf! The It Girl! Lupa! We find out that Jason was raised by wolves. Erin’s brain is cursed to forever associate wolves with Omegaverse. Piper and Drew have a charmspeak battle. Charmspeak is actually the coolest power. Leo falls in love the second a woman is mean to him. They really should all forgo the quest and drop Leo off at therapy. Also here is the hour long video that cur...

Prophecies galore! Jason is called upon by Hera, and as usual, he’s confused. He’s the weird dude at camp that speaks Latin. Rachel works overtime with her prophecy delivery. Piper finds out she is, in fact, just like other girls. It’s Trauma Time with Leo, and he finds a dragon. Festus is a weird name for a dragon. We decide that Keith is a much better name. ///// SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://w...

Kicking off season 2 with 6 chapters of a brand new series! We meet Jason, Piper, and Leo. We have a lot of opinions about them, and we address the “Jason in the room.” It is our god given right to make fun of him. Turns out Jason is actually Troy Bolton. Piper isn’t like other girls. Rick struggles to write from the POV of a woman of color. Leo has an evil babysitter. We miss Beckendorf, and we l...

MARJOR MARK OF ATHENA SPOILER FROM 04:10 - 05:10. Please forward through if you haven’t read!! You’ve been warned. We have reached the ultimate climax of this book, and while some of these chapters may be short, we have PLENTY to talk about. Mostly, Luke, and our favorite SAT vocab word, nuance. We adore the gods’ theatrics. Kronos (Kruke?) is still a frat boy. We make a case for throne insurance....

// CONTENT WARNING: Unsupportive relationships in the context of discussing Luke and Annabeth // Here we are, once again, hating Luke. We’re nearly at the end, and in these chapters, things aren’t looking so good for Percy and the gang. Rachel shows up with some major main character energy. Persephone’s fatal flaw is “being a bitch.” We get angry at Clarisse. Luke sucks. Like, really really sucks....

New nickname alert!! Manasa gets tired of saying Kronos/Luke. Thus, Kruke is born. Erin vows to name her firstborn child Kruke. Erin reads a lot of dialog in this one. Prometheus is the titan of being a little bitch. The party ponies save the day! The battle is really swinging in this episode, and we’re excited to go through it with you all! Follow us on social @camphalfpod

The battle has begun! Percy and Annabeth wake up some statues. Percy is having a Hot Boy Summer. He also has his first flirt. Erin’s boyfriend the Minotaur makes a return, and he’s gotten a look upgrade (another trip to Claire’s?). Annabeth takes a knife for Percy, which leads to the hurt/comfort situation of our dreams. We finally learn about Nico’s mom, and it makes us sad and also angry.

This week, we finally learn about Nico’s plan to help Percy fight Luke - but not without a nice betrayal from Nico! Percy takes a dip in the River Styx, and one of THE most romantic paragraphs happens. All the campers are preparing for battle, and surprise surprise, the gods aren’t going to be any help. Will they make it? Will they defeat Luke? The stakes are high!

The angst is these chapters is…*chef’s kiss.* Percy and Annabeth have some intense moments. Percy, ultimate lover boy, brings up Annabeth’s dad when he’s uncomfortable. Then, Nico and Percy team up to journey into Luke’s past and learn about his family. May Castellan is the ultimate tragedy of this series and we get very sad about her. Also, Sally Jackson writes steamy romance novels. Follow us on...

Annnnnd we begin the final book of the Last Olympian! We start off strong with Percy making a promise that Beckendorf will live, and we all know how well Percy’s promises turn out. Percy sees Luke/Kronos again, and he has a charm bracelet. Percy goes down into Poseidon’s palace and meets Dad’s other family. Then, when Percy returns to camp, he finally gets to hear the Big Prophecy…

That’s right, somehow, we’re at the end of this book. Grover becomes an organizer, we discuss the difference between a forest and a wood, and we have a lot of feelings for Annabeth. Also, we all want to propose to Sally Jackson. Truly, how is Paul the first one since Gabe? Join us as we finish out this incredible book and get ready to start the final one of this series!

In which we reach the climax of the book, and Erin has a lots of thoughts on Jeff Bezos. This episode, Luke and Kronos become one, they find Pan (and he promptly dies), and the namesake of this book finally happens - the battle of the labyrinth! Or rather, the battle near the labyrinth. Buckle up, folks, we got a lot to discuss. Follow us on social @camphalfpod! Music for today's episode:  I...

Percy faces the most terrifying monster yet - a jealous Annabeth. Percy returns to Camp Half-Blood and acquires a new mortal guide. Erin’s favorite line in the whole series occurs. Percy has to fight a half-brother in a giant arena. The gang meets Daedalus and he’s…disappointing, to say the least. Follow us on social and be sure to rate and review! @camphalfpod

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for. THE KISSSSSSS!!! Also other stuff happens but… THE KISS. We talk about the proper attire for grieving, Telkhines (aka Manasa’s seadogs), now or never kisses, and cottage-core Calypso. It’s a long one, and we’re here for it. Follow us on social @camphalfpod!

This week we’re deep, deep in the labyrinth for chapters 7-9. We meet some weird creatures at Alcatraz, go to the strangest ranch ever, and mostly importantly…. Percy scoops poop. Percy uses the stupidest Rock Paper Scissors maneuver ever. Manasa learns what a scimitar is. We mispronounce a lot of Greek monsters. It’s fun. Follow us on social @camphalfpod!

The moment we’ve all been waiting for - Nico goes goth. Annabeth gets a prophecy, Percy has too much Main Character Energy, and Nico is an icon. They begin their quest and immediately get lost. Erin and Manasa spend a lot of time discussing Hera and portrayals of female villains. Be sure to follow us on social @camphalfpod!

Who's excited to start Battle of the Labyrinth? (Answer: We are!!!!). We are starting off with chapters 1-3 of BotL - which means we're reunited with our favorite redhead, and it's time to meet some evil cheerleaders. We talk about jealousy, poor camp leadership, strange Greek monsters, and more. Be sure to follow us on social media @camphalfpod, and email us camphalfpod@gmail.com!

This week we’re joined by Molly and Maddy from Fatal Flaw to answer all your best lightning bolt questions!! Spoiler warning: we discuss some characters from Heroes of Olympus (but no major spoilers, just which characters we hate/love). We talk about what monsters we'd date, Erin and Manasa's high school play, Linkin Park, and much more. You can find Molly and Maddy's podcast Fatal Flaw on all lis...

It’s here - the final episode for Titan’s Curse! We talk the last two chapters of the book, get to see an Olympian party, some great Percabeth moments, and the beginnings of edge-lord Nico. Artemis is the only b!tch in this house we respect. Also, we’re still mad that Bianca didn’t get a proper funeral. Follow us on social @camphalfpod, and tune in next week for a bonus episode in which we answer...

These few chapters are heavy hitters. Get ready to dive into the climax of this book, chalked full of monsters, metaphors, and grief. We finally meet our favorite dragon, Landon. Zoe confronts her dad, Artemis fights Atlas, we reunite with Annabeth, and Percy holds up the sky. We say goodbye to a complex and incredible character, we get emotional, and we possibly use this podcast as a miniature th...

Phew. This episode is a heavy one. We reach our first major death in the series, and Erin has a lot of thoughts on it, and we wish said character had gotten more time and a better arc. There are also a lot of dam good jokes (or dam annoying jokes, depending on your perspective). We both hate Zeus. Percy attacks a homeless person. Manasa makes a case for bronze dragons. There’s a lot going on in th...
