Fatal Flaw: A Percy Jackson Podcast

THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER. This episode has been months in the making, and we are THRILLED to share with you: ASTROLOGY guest starring Erin and Manasa from CAMP HALF POD. A breath of fresh air compared to Molly and Maddy, Erin and Manasa know what they're talking about when it comes to astrology. We talk about our own backgrounds with astrology, Riordanverse characters' charts, and character compatibility.

Is Heroes of Olympus a video game? Is Maddy a cozy gamer? Is Coach Hedge daddy?

All these questions and more answered in this episode of Fatal Flaw, guest starring Sam, notable for his previous appearance on Fatal Flaw. And other things, too, probably.

Have you ever thought, "This podcast is nice and all, but I wish there were more memes in it"? Well then this is the episode for you!

Everyone's favorite Percy Jackson podcast meme creator, Robert of TheDamMemePage, is our special guest this episode. We talk memes and then play a game featuring quotes from other podcasts you might recognize!

The best thing about this episode is that our guest, Sam, loves Fatal Flaw and gives us a lot of attention about it.

We discuss the bureaucracy of the Underworld, Rick's interpretation of Hades, and everything from Tartarus to DOA records.

Our guests this week are possibly the most qualified people we know to be talking about The Lightning Thief musical. Meg, a children's librarian, and Anna Grace, whose master's thesis is about adaption YA literature to the stage, talk about everything from their experience seeing the musical in 2019 to their dream Percy Jackson musical number (hint: it involves a chorus of Nico's undead army as backup singers).

Everyone's favorite hairbrush-throwing, helicopter-crashing, red-haired icon. This week's guest Blue would go down swinging for Rachel Elizabeth Dare — As. One. Should.

The title says it all.

Special guest Spencer, @spenshi, drops hot take after hot take about the queer characters and themes in the books.

Molly's spent months expertly curating her Percy Jackson playlists, and now she shares highlights with the world.

Special bonus guest spot by Megan.

Blame Zeus, probably. With few exceptions, the adults put in charge of taking care of these children are... not doing a great job. We discuss them with our returning guest, Melanie.

In which we pretend Percy's traumatic, deadly quests were actually a fun road trip across the US!

We're joined briefly by surprise guest Melanie, who lends her expertise as a former lifeguard of a municipal waterpark to help us analyze the Tunnel of Love scene in The Lightning Thief.

Our first special guest, Megan (@meganaflame on Twitter) joins us to talk about the nonexistent sex ed at Camp Halfblood, being realistic yet appropriate about teenaged characters, and the dangers of hooking up in the Hermes cabin. There's gotta be booby traps in there or something. At the very least there's a lot of empty Mountain Dew cans, and that's just not a romantic atmosphere.
