I need to see Leah and Aryan omg I love the pjo cast so much 🩷

I hope to have them on one day!

[@leovalde7z]

The best guest till date!
Charlie is awesome!

[@newestolympian]

He was a delight.

[@zs8118]

Awesome interview!
You know, I personally don't think Annabeth was trying to straight up kill Luke in that scene, I think she only wanted to knock the sword out of his hand so that he won't hurt Percy.
Collider is an awesome name btw! So much better than Backbiter IMO!
It's so sweet that everyone just loves Walker so much! It's wonderful that Charlie considers him one of his best friends. So great that they all get along so well with each other (Charlie, Walker, Aryan, Leah & Dior), love that they consider each other family!

[@cheeseqweeeeen]

is it just me or does it look like mikes interviewing from a closet or something

[@Minkeeeee]

He is, thats the recording space, has the best sound quality

[@PoseidonCabin4eva]

Sadly I started reading the books right before the show came I so I was watching the episodes and reading the book so then my mom thought I finished the book so she told me Luke stole the bolt and I wish she didn’t because I’ve never been this interested in a book and I didn’t want to read the book anymore cus I knew what happen and now on ytube shorts I saw nicos dad was hades so that wasn’t a surprise my friend told me Tyson was a cyclops and I’m on the fourth book now and I haven’t experienced any plot twist so I hope that happens soon 😢

[@yuszmina]

dw there’s a few plot twists you’ll see just stop looking it up till u finish it
