Featuring Mal from the Demigod Debut Podcast, we dive into the octopus magic vision of Gale's transformation at the hands of Hecate, and figure out what exactly went down in that rich, rich dialogue. Featuring also, Owl-abeth, Octo-percy, and terrifying Man Grover.

Supplemental suggested media this week include Mrs. America on Hulu and BoJack Horseman.

This week we get a lovely house tour from Hecate and learn about how to care for a geriatric hellhound and a totally metal, totally lactose intolerant mustelid.

If you're reading a long, next week we'll be switching to three chapters per episode!

Carter was rightfully confused as there are many Peter Stuyvesants (related, and famous) throughout New York history. Here is some further reading to clarify who each of these figures was, what's named after whom, and who is buried where:

A brand new book AND a Thalia casting announcement!? What a week!! To kick us off on this delightful spooky adventure, it's just your main hosts today. In the words of Percy Jackson being violently awoken from a nap in English class, let's discuss "THEME!"

As we said, sorry about any audio discrepancies in this episode, we're enjoying recording on one mic while we're in the same city for once :)

AND if you're curious about the virtual book event of last night, here's a live tweeted thread :) https://x.com/seaweedbrainpod/status/1838714437957832845
