  • BONUS | PJO Podcasters Make Predictions After S2 Set Visit
    Mar 12 2026

    It's the first ever episode of The Newest Seaweed Donut/The Olympian Monster Brain! After our visit to set for the filming of Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2, the PJO Pod Squad was tasked by writer Daphne Olive to make predictions based on a sizzle reel shown to us right before our van ride home. I turned on my travel mic, we shared our thoughts, and we've been given permission by Disney to share this all with you (WHICH WE HAD TO WAIT FOR BECAUSE WE DISCUSS A LINE THAT WAS CUT FROM THE SHOW)! Enjoy!

This podcast concept is excellent. The host is a lot of fun and he has some really great guests. At the time of this review, the new episodes are near the end of the first series, so it's a perfect time for people who haven't read them before to use as a fun digital book club.

Excellent Digital Book Club
