This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

@newestolympian.bsky.social took me two months from start to finish but I have finally caught up and listened to all the episode. Love the podcast it allows me to read this series with fresh eyes. I have been getting much amusement out of some of your theories.

AND PEOPLE SAID WE WERE JUST A COMEDY PODCAST.
The mid-roll of the new @newestolympian.bsky.social made me question my history knowledge. I was so sure that ”mark” the currency wasn’t in use anymore, but looked it up and one country still uses a kind of it. Apparently, the Percy Jackson podcast now teaches facts about Bosnia and Herzegovina!

Legendary stuff from Rick: celebrating a huge achievement and advocating for others to get more recognition. What a good dude.
My editor tells me that Percy Jackson has hit 780 weeks / 15 years on the New York Times children's series bestseller list. Wow. Thanks to everyone who has let Percy be part of their lives! Also renewing my call for the NYT to create a debut book bestseller category, so we can highlight new authors.

Unpopular opinion:
Titan's curse is my least favorite pjo book.
Sea of monsters is my favorite.
