We’ve made it, demigods! After journeying from Camp Half-Blood to Mount Olympus and back, we’re wrapping up our deep-dive coverage of The Lightning Thief! In this episode, we revisit our favorite moments, Percy’s growth and emotional journey, Luke’s motivations, Annabeth’s vulnerability, Grover’s underrated importance, and of course, we can’t forget the humor (justice for Chiron’s wheelchair!).

We also explore The Lightning Thief special edition and Rick Riordan’s original outline, exploring how the story evolved into the book we love.

Next up? We’re tackling Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 1. So, grab your swim trunks, and let’s dive in!

Reminder: We’re surfing the Sea of Spoilers, so everything from the Riordanverse is fair game! Don’t forget to subscribe, follow us @104thand1st on Threads, Instagram, and Bluesky, and visit www.104thand1stpodcast.com.
