Prophecy Radio episode #125 sees Karen and Kristen back on our usual path, including a few detours while we talk about our excitement over the Wicked movie in theaters as well as the Greek-themed updates to Disney Dreamlight Valley courtesy of the expansion pass. We do also talk about chapter 21 of Chalice of the Gods, as well as continuing to talk about our future and plans for the podcast. As of right now, new episodes of Prophecy Radio will air every other week, and we’ll still keep our discussions PG-13.
We are so excited to talk about these casting choices! (00:09:50)
We are so proud of ourselves for getting our act together and kicking off our new schedule right away!Daniel Diemer will be bringing Tyson to the screen!Andra Day is absolute perfect embodiment of Athena (we’re both in awe).Tamara Smart absolutely looks the part of Thalia Grace, and we can’t wait to see how she chooses to play Thalia.Lance Reddick’s replacement for Zeus is…We will definitely get at least one episode of season 2 in 2025!Chalice of the Gods refresher (00:26:36)
Percy needs to complete 3 quests to get letters so he can join Annabeth at New Rome University.Ganymede, Zeus’ cupbearer, to finds the chalice of the gods. He suspects Hebe and Iris.They find a chalice-less Hebe (and her flock of chickens) at her arcade, and after a little creative trickery by Annabeth, our trio learns where they might find Iris.Meet Blanche, daughter of Iris, who loves all things monochrome and death. She promises to introduce them to her mother if Grover poses for some photos.Iris is desperate for her child’s approval, so she listens to our favorite trio, and tells them she has a hunch.She won’t share that hunch, however, unless our trio does a little quest for her first.While questing, Annabeth befriends a river, Percy almost drowns, Grover gets chased by snakes.Percy gives us his (arguably) most romantic moment yet, and saves himself from mortal peril.Once they return Iris’ staff to her, clean as a whistle, she lets them know the chalice is in Greenwich in the possession of someone named Gary, and hands them a vial of pure nectar to help in locating the famous drinking vessel.Chalice of the Gods discussion (00:34:26)
Grover arrives to Percy’s swim meet in some very specific regalia.Percy is forced to look at Blanche’s dreary photos of Grover appearing dead amongst very dead-looking nature.Grover had planned to give one of these photos to Juniper for her Bloom Day present, but she didn’t react well to the repeated mentioning of Blanche. Percy advises that Grover admit his stupidity in this moment, and apologize to Juniper.Percy notes that, next to the Greek gods, he’s possibly the worst person to give relationship advice.Grover asked the cloud nymphs about Greenwich village, scoping out the scene before they go adventuring there, and they admit to some weird energy around Washington Square Park.While getting Juniper’s Bloom Day present right is important, Grover is more concerned with how things are going to work once Percy and Annabeth run off to New Rome University.Percy reassures our favorite satyr that they need him as much as he needs them. They couldn’t survive without Grover in their lives.Favorite lines and favorite moments.Feedback! Thank you so much to everyone for all the kinds words on our return. It really means the world to us.Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 126, where we’ll discuss the big news we missed while we were away, along with Chalice of the Gods chapters 22 & 23.

We now live in a post-Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 world.They really just punched us in the gut with that opening line, didn’t they?When did that training scene take place?This was a great segue back into the Ares fight.Someone really needs to get Annabeth up to speed.Percy and Ares certainly know how to get under each other’s skin.Does it make sense that Percy was holding his own against the god of war?Ares found out exactly what Perseus Jackson is capable of!!Adam Copeland is literally perfect in this role.How come they heard Sally’s voice as soon as Annabeth picked up the helmet?Did Percy offer the helm in good faith in the hopes that it would score him some bonus points with Hades?Alecto has a lot of reverence for Hades and his artifacts.It’s probably not the smartest idea for Percy to walk into Olympus, but he’s done running from monsters.THE LOOK ON PERCY’S FACE AS ANNABETH GIVES HIM HER NECKLACE.Luke is so excited Percy is picking up what he’s putting down.Did Luke betray Annabeth by telling Percy she’s afraid of spiders?Why didn’t we get to see what book the security guard was reading!?Did you catch all the different architecture that makes up Olympus?Why did Percy have to climb that hill??The silence as Percy handed over the bolt was SO LOUD.We’re obsessed with Lance’s portrayal of Zeus and the musicality of his delivery.It maybe wasn’t the smartest thing in the world to stand up to Zeus, but the guy really needed to hear what Percy had to say.Poseidon surrenders in order to save his son!!And he gets a little manipulative by bringing up Thalia’s bravery and how it inspired Percy to do the right thing with the bolt.We loved hearing the Ancient Greek.Oh, Zeus, you’re gonna be seeing A LOT of Percy going forward.The meeting between Percy and Poseidon very nearly broke us.The sea does not like to be restrained.Poseidon’s face when Percy asks if he dreams about Sally–OMG.That was an unceremonious exit if we ever saw one.Was Percy supposed to end up in the ocean?He’s a whole different person now, and Camp must feel like a totally different place.Were those the Stohl Brothers!?Annabeth has changed a lot too!!When did Annabeth figure out that Luke was the one who betrayed them?It was very helpful when Percy went back through the prophecy line by line.Luke really didn’t want Grover to get hurt.It’s SO easy to empathize with Luke’s feelings, even if we don’t agree with his actions.Did you catch the glint in his eye??Anyone else forget that Backbiter could open portals??Luke does NOT want to hear Percy’s excuses for the gods.What did that letter H represent?Percy’s got some smooth moves!Poor, poor Annabeth. At least Luke knows not to take her on, too.Kronos might be very, very persuasive, but Percy is very, very stubborn.We’re glad we got to see Mr. D again.Annabeth looks so pretty in her final scene!Of course Grover’s searcher’s license is an actual flower.Did anyone figure out Percy’s reunion with his mom was actually a dream?This is our best look yet at Kronos.Whatever you do, don’t call Kronos “Grandpa.”We’ve said this before and we’ll say it again—Sally Jackson is the best mom ever.Blue pancakes!!Did you catch the after credits scene?Did Hermes do that on purpose, knowing what would happen?Feedback (02:03:31)

What did we think of this episode overall?Let’s kick off our discussion by breaking down Percy’s latest nightmare.The Iris Message scene was amazing for SO many different reasons.Why was Luke in Chiron’s office???You should’ve heard our shriek when Luke called Percabeth an old married couple.Percy needs to be a little more aware of how sensitive some demigods are about their parents.Who has two thumbs and can release a horde of animals into downtown Las Vegas?Does Grover not care about humans?Did you catch that cute turtle on the median?The Lotus Hotel and Casino was beautiful, inside and out.“Levitating” by Dua Lipa was an inspired choice.We love how the kids immediately remembered about the Lotus Eaters.Graphic novels (and audiobooks) still count as reading!!We finally get a Wise Girl!!!Grover seemed a little miffed at Annabeth.We get some backstory on Luke and Hermes.Meanwhile, Grover meets Augustus.Annabeth doesn’t know what to do about the bigger plan at play here and Percy is SHOCKED.Why would Pan be in the Lotus Hotel and Casino?Does anyone know what story Hermes was telling when he was first introduced?The way Hermes’ face turns pained when they introduce them as Luke’s friends!Was there anything of note in Hermes’ office?Annabeth has all the subtly of a sledgehammer.Mortal/god relationships are toxic.What was up with that Young Percy flashback?Hermes is insidious in a different way from Ares.Did you catch Annabeth pulling out her hat as she left?Hermes has some great quotes about parenting.What is Hermes’ motivation here?Speaking of motivation, what about Augustus’ motives?Was Grover actually close to finding Pan?Percy chose not to lie to Grover about how he kind of made them late.The driving scene was hilarious, and we loved every second.Does 3N17 stand for anything?They made it to Santa Monica in one piece!!This episode gave us some flashbacks to the Tartarus scenes from the books.Is this the same nereid from the other episode?The deadline already passed!!Percy refuses to give up on his quest.There’s no way one of those pearls doesn’t break, right?What’s the difference between a nereid and a naiad?Feedback (01:51:13)
notjustanotherfangirl is looking forward to season 2’s credits sequence.Nicolaas rightly says that mechanical monster from episode 1 was a rhino, not a bull.Morgan had a guess for those bat/serpent/octopus creatures.Judith likes that Grover doesn’t eat random things when he’s upset.Jessica wants to know which added scenes we’ve liked best so far.Solomon had some thoughts on Medusa.Toby Stephens News warns us that making viewers reevaluate the definition of monstrosity is Jon Steinberg’s love language.We need Athena and her owl ASAP.Jessica writes back in to talk about the winter solstice visit.And Nicolaas also loved Hephaestus’ musical cues.Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 118, in which we’ll discuss Percy Jackson and the Olympians episode 7!

We got to see Percy Jackson and the Olympians episodes 1 and 2 ahead of the premiere date and WE’RE SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS SHOW.First, we have to give you our overall thoughts, which is that we absolutely loved the episodes we got to see.The quality of the show is immaculate, between the set production, the costuming, and the visual effects.It’s also extremely accurate to the source material!Anything they changed was small-scale, and felt logical for the tone of the story.Seeing Camp Half-Blood was surreal, and the Big House was beautiful!It was amazing that they somehow made everyone look like individuals despite all wearing the same shirts.And Chiron and Mr. D’s costumes were perfect and fit them so well.We talk more about the dryad that Tish Monaghan mentioned.Okay, but now we need to get into our thoughts on everyone’s performances.Walker Scobell as Percy Jackson is literally perfect. He OWNS this character.We also can’t get enough of Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase.She’s silent a lot through her scenes, but she says SO MUCH.And then there’s Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood.He’s got great chemistry with Walker, and his comedic timing is also genius.But we were super impressed by Virginia Kull as Sally Jackson.And no one will be surprised that Jason Mantzoukas is the perfect Dionysus.And the same goes for Glynn Turman as Chiron, who is more perfect than anyone could’ve dreamed.This is, without a doubt, the Percy Jackson and the Olympians adaptation that we’ve always dreamed of.Feedback (02:42:58)
Mac wants to know if CRITICS will enjoy the show?Ark is curious if there are some fan-favorite quotes that made it into the series.Dr. Tiezn needs to know more about Camp Half-Blood coming to life.Solomon’s son wants to know if the show is accurate to the book.Meanwhile, Ennis is worried about Grover’s hair.We also hear from Rebeca, who talks about Chalice of the Gods and might start her own podcast in Spanish!Darcy also writes in to tell us which Rick Riordan Presents book are currently optioned and at which streaming services.Stick around for our updated schedule!Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 112, in which we’ll discuss Percy Jackson and the Olympians episode 1 in all its glory!

Let’s kick off this week’s discussion with Chalice of the Gods chapter 18.Imagine being a son of Poseidon and then…drowning!Did this scene feel like a nod to the complaints that Percy is a little OP sometimes?And his first thought was whether Annabeth was okay!!We loved Ellison’s reaction to Percy cleaning the cavern.Tip of the day: Green tea can give you anxiety!!How did the idea of demigods visiting the river come up, and was it Annabeth or Ellison’s idea?Was Percy serious about whale yoga!?Annabeth always has a plan!Karen didn’t feel like choosing only one favorite quote this episode, so she didn’t.Kristen serenades us with the chorus of “Help!”Next up, we’re discussing Chalice of the Gods chapter 19.Playing the song “YMCA” is clearly a desperate call for help.We loved when Annabeth trolled Percy and tricked him into skipping.It’s hard not to imagine what this book would look like on screen.How long has Zeus known about Percy?It was only a matter of time before Karen went off on a tangent about Tremors.Karen did a mini deep dive into the mythologies centered around horned serpents.Callie might not care about laser pointers or boxes, but she loves popcorn.Percy’s last thoughts before he thinks he’ll die are centered around Annabeth AND WE LOVE TO SEE IT.We want to know why rainbows taste and smell so bad, but maybe we shouldn’t question the science.Last but not least, it’s time to discuss Chalice of the Gods chapter 20.Is…is this considered satyr boudoir?We never would’ve guessed Mercedes was the staff.Does Kristen have any idea who Gary is!?Iris was shockingly helpful in this chapter.Kristen was very excited to make fun of Wisconsin.There are SO MANY great quotes in these three chapters.Feedback (01:25:12)
Maria asks if that scene between Eudora and Percy where she tells him about getting double credit for the quests was Rick’s backup plan for doing this story all in one book.Shout-out to J. Maya for being a fan of the podcast. We hope her music makes it into the show at some point!If you’re from the UK, you can enter a chance to win tickets to the London premiere for Percy Jackson and the Olympians.Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 111, in which we’ll discuss Chalice of the Gods chapters 21-23!

At least we have some new photos to discuss thanks to the Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief tie-in edition. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air weekly, and we keep our discussions PG-13.
News and Updates (00:06:20)

This week, we’re starting off with Chalice of the Gods chapter 15.Reader, she flushed Percy Jackson all the way out to Yonkers.Applying to college is SO confusing.Ellison sounds grumpy and Eudora does NOT want to make him any angrier.Luckily, she finds a way to send him where he needs to go.Maybe we figured out how kids get all their gold drachmas?Did you know they paved over a lot of streams in New York City?The river is really, REALLY dirty downstream.Percy has to come back later with the staff and some backup.In Chalice of the Gods chapter 16, Grover busts out some snake songs—though, unfortunately, none of them are from Taylor Swift.Kristen is SO Annabeth and Karen is SO Grover.The bioluminescent moss scene was soooo cute.We loved every second Grover decided to take the lead and how far he’s come.Shockingly, Annabeth brings up both Luke Castellan and his flying shoes.They’ve got a pretty solid plan until they hear the panpipes, then Annabeth shoves Percy off the cliff!In Chalice of the Gods chapter 17, they meet the Man Bun of Doom.Somehow Percy loves the fact that Annabeth shoved him off a cliff.Did you see the Read Riordan article about the River Elisson?We’re kind of obsessed with how sarcastic Elisson is.No demigods, no shoes, and absolutely NO using his headwaters!!Who hurt Elisson? We really need to know.He clearly has an inferiority complex, and Percy hits a nerve.How long DOES it take for a child of Poseidon to drown?Can your dreams determine who your godly parent is!?Feedback (00:51:30)

New episodes of Prophecy Radio air weekly, and we keep our discussions PG-13.
News and Updates (00:09:46)

If so, could what we thought was the oracle actually be something else?Could we possibly see Hestia?Percy’s shirt is SO MUCH BRIGHTER than everyone else’s.We’re so glad this trailer gives us some more humorous moments.Is that hydra target a reference to the first movie!?Did you catch the demigod in a wheelchair?What lit up the tunnel of love ride?Annabeth is amazing, but we’re not telling you anything you don’t already know.Unlock your destiny. Unleash your power.Hold fast. Brave the storm. OUR HEARTS.That chimera looks terrifying!Chalice of the Gods discussion (00:45:39)
This week, we’re starting off with Chalice of the Gods chapter 12.We really love how much of a slice-of-life story this is.Percy was impressive, but not TOO impressive.The Mist really works wonders!We’re kind of obsessed with Standard Olympian Beverage Number 5.Percy fills Ganymede in on the plan, and even though Ganymede is nervous, he’s choosing to trust his elected demigod.Percy and Annabeth chat via Iris Message, and we love their relationship so much.But we still have a lot of questions about how they earn drachmas!Imagine being Annabeth’s roommate lol.In Chalice of the Gods chapter 13, the trio meets up with Blanche.Grover is obsessed with Blanche. Karen is obsessed with Blanche. Everyone is obsessed with Blanche.We get a really specific description of Iris, and her eyes sound absolutely mesmerizing.Reptile guys and goth girls really go together, if you didn’t already know.Is complete indifference the best way to get your godly parent’s attention!?We discuss the favor that Annabeth now owes Blanche for introducing them to her mother.Next up is Chalice of the Gods chapter 14, in which Iris gives Percy a big stick!Imagine that, Iris is actually a good listener.And being a cupbearer is a thankless job.The goddess doesn’t give information away for free, so they have a quest within a quest to accomplish.We also get an official deadline for Ganymede’s quest, and it’s pretty long compared to most of the others Percy’s had to deal with over the years.Where is the River Elisson and how can they possibly find it!?Now the horned serpents and all the rainbows on the Chalice of the Gods UK cover make so much more sense.Feedback (01:13:15)
Sean has another guess as to what could be in the box.Nicolaas may have fallen behind (it’s okay!), but he was excited to jump into our discussion of all the recent Percy Jackson and the Olympians footage.And Ms. Bobbilicious also wrote in to tell us her idea for Rick’s cameo—and we LOVE IT.Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 109, in which we’ll discuss Chalice of the Gods chapters 15-17!

Life has been pretty chaotic on every front lately, but we’re doing our best to get back into the groove of the podcast. Thanks for sticking with us!We start the episode with a discussion of Rick’s October 17 blog post, in which he discusses what’s going on in Gaza at the present moment.This post had no promotion, and it was seemingly deleted and then reuploaded.Rightfully, fans have been critical of Rick for talking about Gaza and then transitioning into self-promotion.Please be aware there is A LOT of misinformation out there about what’s happening right now, so do your due diligence and verify all the information you’re receiving before passing it on.Tehlor Kay Mejia, Daniel José Older, and Sarwat Chadda have been speaking out a lot on their platforms about Gaza, Israel, and Palestine, so be sure to follow them for additional resources.Mark Oshiro is raising funds for Palestine through Books for Palestine. The auction is now live.Here is a list of Palestinian journalists on the ground in Gaza.If you have the ability to donate, charities like Save the Children, Doctors without Borders, and Palestine Children’s Relief Fund are good places to start.You can also use 5Calls to talk to your representatives about a ceasefire.Rick also wrote a blog post on October 23 about the recent releases from Rick Riordan Presents, and some upcoming titles.We’re particularly looking forward to A Drop of Venom, Winston Chu vs. the Wingmeisters, and It Waits in the Forest.Read Riordan has also been busy over the last two weeks, wanting you to catch up with Zyanya from Dawn of the Jaguar, as well as meet Admiral Paik from Fox Snare.They also wrote a cute little article about how to sneak into Camp Half-Blood.Graci Kim also announced the title and a vague release date for her next book, Dreamslinger.We read through the synopsis and confirm that we’re really excited about this one!Kristen’s Korner is back as we discuss the last two episodes of Survivor season 45 and J’s fate on the island.The SAG-AFTRA strikes are ongoing, and we’re waiting with bated breath to see what becomes of them.Chalice of the Gods by Rick Riordan (00:36:54)
Let’s kick off our discussion with Chalice of the Gods chapter 9!Getting chased by chickens is, like, Karen’s worst nightmare.Annabeth is SO SMART, and we love how single-minded she is in leading the trio.Grover is so helpful in this chapter, and we love seeing him be the person with all the helpful information.Did you know that Hebe and Hercules got married!?Did we just find out why satyrs age half as fast as humans!?Grover must go distract the chickens while Annabeth and Percy commit a party fowl.NGL, we kinda love Li’l Killer.Okay, the plan is to sing a song and beg for forgiveness.The backup plan is Plan Chick…whatever that means!This chapter may have contained Karen’s single favorite joke in all of Rick Riordan’s books.Let’s move on to Chalice of the Gods chapter 10.It’s time to belt out a tune by some guy.Why is the choice always the plan succeeds or we die!?This is 90% all Percy’s fault.Percy has his priorities, and Annabeth has hers.When did you figure out what Plan Chick was?Annabeth really is a genius. This was SO CLEVER.The trio FINALLY get returned to their proper ages.It’s now time for Chalice of the Gods chapter 11.Hebe sends the trio after Iris, down at the farmers’ market.It’s so cute how excited Percy is for a local quest, but also pretty sad how traumatized he is by being turned back into a little kid.Sally Jackson gets the Mother of the Century award.Do we have to worry about her getting older!?What was Percy like when he was a kid?Mark Oshiro’s influence on Rick is SO OBVIOUS in this chapter.Yes, Percy, MILLIONS of people have dreamt of slipping into your life.Can Percy wash the dishes and play video games at the same time!?Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 107, in which we’ll discuss Chalice of the Gods chapters 12-14!
