WELCOME TO SEASON THREE FRIENDS! We're back with returning guest Jackson Bunis and brand new guest Mike Mason to discuss Magnus Chase Book 1: The Sword of Summer in its entirety!

Carter's Recommended Reading:
Andrew Solomon, Far from the Tree is generally about forms of difference that are not shared between parents and children and theorizing them all in comparison
Rosemarie Garland Thomson, Extraordinary Bodies is early disability studies and some stuff about disability representation in media

Join Erica, Carter, Jackson, and Ola as they begin to unpack Leo, Hephaestus, and why the hell Medea wasn’t brought back to Camp Half-Blood to teach witchcraft. In this episode, we mention some retellings of the Medea story, which you can check out here:
As critical as we are of Rick’s portrayal of many of the female mythological figures in this book in particular, we do want to acknowledge that is the original myths themselves, inextricable from the patriarchal societies in which they were originally told, that first created harmful tropes and stereotypes these Riordanverse characters have occasionally fallen into. And we are so looking forward to Disney+ to give the screenwriting team a chance to rethink and reimagine many of the characters that appear in the Riordanverse. And as always, we highly recommend Helen Morales's Antigone Rising for more on this. Today’s unofficial sponsor is Fedwhich, a sandwich shop Ola and Jackson would like to receive free food from.

Ch. 73-80 The finale we've all been waiting for! Told through Hazel and Percy's POV, featuring Owen from Through the Mist. We witness the glorious end of the Frank/Hazel/Leo (dare we say) love triangle. We encounter our final boss battle with Pasiphae and Clytius and maybe get some help from a betorched goddess along the way. Once all is said and done, we share a beautifully bittersweet picnic, say our goodbyes for now, and sail into the sunset... towards our doom. Follow Owen @Through_Mist on Instagram, and send him a message there if you want to request a deep dive into a particular topic on his next episode! This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.
