81: We Finish Heroes Of Olympus (BLOOD OF OLYMPUS Ch 57-58 + FINALE!)

Meg and Apollo set off on their quest to find the Grove of Dodona. We discuss how the Ancient Greeks had a weird thing about mommies going on. We meet some geyser gods who really want reviews and then Meg gets stolen by some giant ants. Apollo immediately breaks the stupid oaths he made. Manasa wants to use a piano as a weapon. If picked up by giant ants, she would drop her piano on them. We discuss bad reviews and the only book Erin has ever left a bad review for. ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod/support

You know how we said Chiron looked bad last episode? Well, he looks even worse. It’s time to endanger children in the labyrinth! Apollo and Meg wind up in Delphi and overhear Python and a mysterious man called The Beast. We declare that The Beast is a stupid evil villain name. They return to camp, and find that two of Apollo’s children have disappeared into the woods. Resident Rich Girl Rachel returns and is here to help out Apollo. ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod/support

Ding ding ding, Manasa's first prediction has come true! We discover the true godly parent of Meg, but not before she uses her little angel Peaches to attack everyone. Yet, Meg's background still remains mysterious - who is her stepfather? And where did she get those weapons? Chiron is the most useless he has ever looked in these chapters. This man should not be in charge of children. Apollo gets to spend some time at camp and learns he is only mediocre at most of his skills now. Then, they begin the 3 legged race, even though the children are clearly in danger and even Apollo wants to stop it, because nobody can say no to an 8 year old and Chiron is a terrible guardian. ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod/support

Meg and Apollo continue their trek to Camp Half-Blood - but not without encountering some evil trees and mysterious voices. Apollo gets to meet his children, whom he is now the same age as. Will is STILL the only medical professional around. We get to see more of Nico and Will being adorable. We realize, for the second time, that Chiron has a white stallion horse butt (not brown!). Chiron fills us in on Delphi, the Oracle that has ceased communication, and how children have been disappearing at camp. Then, with a stroke of genius, he suggests that instead of dealing with the problem of missing children, it's time for a three legged death race! This episode is not sponsored by Bug Juice.

It’s time for Percy’s few cameo chapters!! Sally feeds and clothes everyone and we love her. Percy drives like the fire sign that he is. Manasa makes some predictions about Meg’s godly parent. We discover that these plague spirits were actually the cause of cov!d. Thanks, Apollo. Then Percy abandons us to go study like a good boy. We request that you all drive safely and not like we did in high school. ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod/support

It’s time to begin our Trials of Apollo journey! We discuss our breaks and Manasa tells us all the spoilers she knows for ToA (skip ahead like a minute at that part if you don’t want any!). We remind everyone that this podcast is rated E, for Erin. You’ve been warned. We then get to know Apollo/Lester and his feral child companion, Meg! Rick hooks us once again by name dropping Percy. We catch up with Sally and are very proud of her and her journey. Manasa makes some predictions for the rest of the book. ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod/support

It’s our SECOND TO LAST episode of Blood of Olympus! How did we get here? Gaea has risen, and everyone is back at Camp Half Blood thanks to a big ole slap from Zeus. Leo’s plan goes off without a hitch, unless you count him dying as a hitch (rip Leo… or not???). They defeat Gaea surprisingly easily. Piper gaslight Gaea to sleep. Meanwhile, Nico and Will are complicit in murder. We, too, would be complicit in murdering Octavian. Also, Percy is shocked to learn that Nico had a crush on him. ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod/support

It’s time for the titular blood of Olympus to be spilled - but not before Percy and Annabeth make out in the Acropolis! The 7 make it to Athens and face off against a bunch of giants. Frank turns into bees and Erin loses her mind about it a bit. Thanks to an unfortunate nosebleed, Gaea rises. Nico makes it to Camp Half Blood and banters a bunch with Will. We’re obsessed with the Solangelo dynamic. Also, Mellie the cloud gives birth. ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod/support
