Monster Donut: A Percy Jackson Podcast
Welcome to Monster Donut! A chronological deep dive into the Percy Jackson series and all of its following spin-offs. Hosted by Phoebe, who professionally analyzes creative work as a dramaturg & story consultant, & Emily, a writer & classicist with a degree in Greek & Latin. Every two weeks, Phoebe & Emily (along with some occasional special guests) will analyze every book, short story, and odd narrative blog post in the order in which they occur within the PJO/HOO/TOA timeline. While they chat, Phoebe will sketch whatever characters/scenes are speaking to her. Those sketches will be posted on our Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok (@PJOPod on all accounts). New episodes every other Tuesday!
