Camp Half-Pod: A Percy Jackson Podcast
Arts
Camp Half-Pod
Just two demigods who love Percy Jackson. Join Erin and Manasa as we dive into the canon of the Percy Jackson universe, a few chapters at a time. We'll be going through not only Percy Jackson and the Olympians, but also Heroes of Olympus, Trials of Apollo, and the companion books. Get ready for lots of speculating and dorky jokes!

56: Annabeth Can Judo-Flip Me Any Day (MARK OF ATHENA Ch 1-4)
56: Annabeth Can Judo-Flip Me Any Day (MARK OF ATHENA Ch 1-4)
Time for a new book!!! We adore this book. This episode is ALL about Annabeth, as all good things should be. Manasa is still trying to marry off Reyna. Percy and Annabeth reunite and we both just want to scream and cry about it. We discuss the judo-flip and the online discourse about it. Can you tell Erin works in relationships education? We get two (count ‘em!) prophecy recitations and finalize the magical 7. Since we’re all going to Greece the Mamma Mia references are only gonna get worse from here. Reyna and Annabeth bond over liking the same dumb boy. Percy makes an inside joke with himself. We laugh when people die, apparently. This book is so fun and we are so excited! ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

55: Sounds Like A Vacation To Greece! (SON OF NEPTUNE Ch 45-52)
55: Sounds Like A Vacation To Greece! (SON OF NEPTUNE Ch 45-52)
It’s time to finish Son of Neptune! We both really like this book. Frank embraces his morphing powers and impresses Hazel with them. Frank burns his stick and frees Thanatos. They beat up Alcyoneus (without a god??? SOMEHOW). Percy gets his memories all the way back, and is rightfully pissed at Hera. We wrap up this book with a battle and then a message from Leo - the Argo II is coming to New Rome!

54: Hot Death Daddy (SON OF NEPTUNE Ch 37-44)
We begin this episode by freeing ourselves from pronouncing Gaea the way the Google told us to. The gang makes it to Alaska, and Percy continues to get his memories back. Also, he FINALLY calls his mom. They make it to Hubbard Glacier and discover that death is actually kinda hot. We spent a really weird amount of time trying to decide if wings are hot. Alcyoneus makes a dramatic entrance and we hope he gives an evil villain monologue soon. ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod MUSIC FROM: https://freemusicarchive.org/genre/Jazz --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

53: Why DID The Minotaur Cross The Road? (SON OF NEPTUNE Ch 29-36)
In which Rick doesn’t tell us why the Minotaur crossed the road. It was probably to see Erin. Or to get away from the female ogres wearing leather bikinis (why, Rick? WHY?). We talk about burden-sharing in friendships and how sometimes we gotta take on burdens for each other and that’s okay! The gang goes to home of CEO Entrepreneur Jeffrey Bezos. The Amazon headquarters is full of men chained up by hot women, which would be Leo’s personal paradise. Hazel adopts a rabid horse. Frank goes home, and finally learns about his morphing powers. Neither of us want to be a main character anymore, because we are old and tired. ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

52: Frank’s Evil Little Stick (SON OF NEPTUNE Ch 21-28) ft. Robert (@TheDamMemePage)
This week we are joined by Robert from TheDamMemePage to talk chapters 21-28 of Son of Neptune! Erin starts spiraling about Frank’s Animorphing powers. Robert curses our brains about Frank’s stick. The gang goes to meet Ferb’s brother, Phineas. Manasa reveals herself to actually be Ferb. We don’t know how to pronounce all these words. Percy does the most Percy thing - winging it and risking his life! Ella is cute. We love Ella. Protect Ella. ————————————————————— Follow Robert @TheDamMemePage on IG, Twitter, and Tik Tok, and check out their podcasts, Into the Riordanverse and Entering Storybrooke! ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

51: The Edgiest Toga Ever (SON OF NEPTUNE Ch 13-20)
51: The Edgiest Toga Ever (SON OF NEPTUNE Ch 13-20)
Nico is coming in hot with a black, goth, special toga. Thanatos is likened to border patrol, and we think it might be better if he’s chained then. The gang gets approved for a quest. The Romans have a navy. That navy is a single boat. We get more of Hazel’s backstory, and it is very sad (how much trauma can Rick fit in one girl???). Hazel is attacked by grain. We pronounce EVERYTHING wrong in this one. Manasa has invented a new ship. Erin hard disagrees. We both like this book a lot more than The Lost Hero. //////////// SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

50: Give Nico An Oscar (SON OF NEPTUNE Ch 5-12)
We open up this episode with an impeccable performance by Nico, the boy with a secret family. All the new characters have Secrets. Hazel makes cool cursed rocks. We imagine Pluto as Pluto the dog. Frank ALSO has a curse, but it’s not as cool. Manasa wants to play war games. Percy refuses to bow to a god, like the bad boy he is. We love to see it. //////////// SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

49: Furries of New Rome (SON OF NEPTUNE Ch 1-4)
Drumroll please…. It’s PERCY TIME!!! We are thrilled to once again be reading about our beloved Percy Jackson, our favorite cop car stealing boy (Jason could never). Percy gives us a bag tour. We get emotional about Percabeth. We wonder if our parents are secretly deities. Manasa makes the bold statement that all Romans are furries and, in a twist of events, comes down in defense of Freud. We learn about Camp Jupiter, meet some new friends, and talk lots about Percy. //////////// SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

WE ARE FINALLY DONE WITH THIS BOOK. The actual final battle occurs. There are like 3 separate villain monologues in these 8 chapters. Evil Elsa strikes again. Jason fights the large green man. Chiron is a dick for never telling anyone about the bunker. We’re both really really ready for the next book. //////////// SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

47: Step On Me, Porphyrion (THE LOST HERO Ch 43-48)
There are a lot of battles in this book. Jason gets all the good fight scenes, but somehow they are also lame. We miss the dramatic villains like Kruke, and think Gaea should take some acting classes. Zeus zaps Enchilada man. Piper and her dad have a nice moment. Rick says if you have trauma you should just forget it. Leo flies a plane! Hera is coming out of her cage, and she is (not) doing just fine. Also, we realize that the OG Trio is actually Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona. //////////// SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

46: Piper Slices Up Shrek (THE LOST HERO Ch 37-42)
Both of us have fully lost our minds in this one. Manasa has an enemy now. This quest is honestly kind of confusing. Hedge and Mellie have a meet-cute. Aphrodite is a good parent for like one second. We don’t like the way Gaea is pronounced. The Greeks hate human legs. Rick loves knocking people out. Shrek and his family are slaughtered. We are in mourning. Also Shrek does NOT have a last name. //////////// SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

45: Werewolves And Worm Facts (THE LOST HERO Ch 31-36)
There are a lot of side quests in this one. Like, a LOT. They meet Midas, whose curse is the worst. Jason gets lit with Lit. We wonder if Jason could be cool if he wasn’t boring. We meet the first ever werewolf, let’s go Team Jacob. Jason has a reunion with his long lost sister, our girl Thalia. Leo continues to be a trauma towel. Neither one of us wants Midas’s curse, not even a bit. Manasa is haunted by accidentally telling someone she hated them.

Everyone take a seat, it’s the Medea episode. Erin comes down in support of our murdering queen Medea. Manasa is not so sure. Jason is pretty dumb in these chapters. Piper does the MOST and is the only one with the brain cell. We say goodbye to our unhinged king, Festus. You may not have lived a long life, but it was very unhinged, and now you are free. We also discuss malls and how they’ve become evil. We entered the Bad Place when Limited Too became Justice.

Lots of chaos in these chapters, folks. For some reason, we take a stance against the French language. We wish Boreas was cool like the Ice King from Adventure Time. White men should stop trying to write about the experiences of women of color. Piper breaks her ankle. Leo has a lot of trauma still. We wish he got friendship instead of a girlfriend. Manasa supports arson. Erin was once called vanilla and will forever hold a grudge against [name redacted] [jk his name was Ian] [stupid boy] ///// SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

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.

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://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

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. We finally get some very romantic passages after four books of ignoring feelings. We throw up a little when Luke confesses his love.

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. Yet somehow, we all have a little Luke on the inside. Hades and Nico definitely choreographed their entrance to the battle. We get in our feels and over-analyze Annabeth, as usual. Percy puts the P in PTSD.

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.

22: Holding Up The Sky (TITAN'S CURSE Ch 16-18)
22: Holding Up The Sky (TITAN'S CURSE Ch 16-18)
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 therapy session.  CW: Mentions of suicide, grief, and cancer from 54:00-01:01:00 Highly recommend the essay Erin references, especially if you're feeling like lately, you've been holding up the sky.

21: This Dam Episode (TITAN’S CURSE Ch 13-15)
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 this episode, and somehow, we fit it all into an hour! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

20: We Tell You Cool Stuff (TITAN’S CURSE Ch 10-12)
In this episode, we are getting into the meat of the quest. Percy defeats a Nemean lion with space food. Apollo goes incognito as Tom Hanks from the Polar Express movie. Percy is honestly kind of annoying in these chapters. We finally get some background for Bianca and begin to like her. And then, things get Wild.

We get to meet The General, who honestly, sounds kind of hot. Bessie is the MVP, and we create our own disturbing sea monsters. And, most importantly, we talk about the iconic movie Ice Age.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

Today we’re talking chapters 4-6 of Titan’s Curse. What did we come up with for our own villain names? Manasa attacks people via song. We make fun of Grover. We make fun of Percy’s name calling ability. We discuss our own Capture the Flag tactics, which would realistically just end up with us letting the Hunters step on us. The Oracle shows up, and she’s full of spite, which we love. Be sure to follow us @camphalfpod!  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support
