I've heard all the rumors of like, it's a blood type thing or whatever. I'm whichever the, no,

let's not put my blood type on the box.

Don't need that. What's good?

Thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of The Newest Olympian.

My name is Mike Schumer.

I am the titular, newest Olympian.

I'm a 33-year-old man who never read the Percy Jackson books as a kid.

I read them as an adult because I was on a quest to determine if this was a book series that society had been sleeping on. And now I'm seeing if society has also been sleeping on the Heroes of Olympus series. And I'm joined today by a very special guest, someone who you've heard on the podcast, or maybe you've heard on our new podcast, the hit podcast, sweeping the nation, professional talkers, of which episode three just dropped today at the time of recording on August 11th. But this is coming out way in the future because I am rushing to get all the recordings of this done so that I can also be joined by this guest live on stage in Providence, Rhode Island to do the end of the mark of Athena because the Pittsburgh venue said, oh, no, you can't stream the show.

So we had to move that up by two weeks. I'm stressed, but I'm blessed because we're joined today by Sequoia Simone. Sequoia. How's it going? It's going great. It's going so good. I'm very excited not only for this, but also to do the last chapters of Mark of Athena with you in person. And it's a very strange, like the timeline is like very Jeremy Baramy because like,

we're recording this before we do the live show, but this will come out after we do the live show.

But before the live show audio releases.

Yes, but probably in the span in which you can get the replay of it on the Patreon,

because I usually wait a little bit between like the seven-day replay and then putting the proper file together for people to get on the Patreon shop.

So I feel like people can get that if you want to see the stream where we do the ending of the Mark of Athena. And I live react to whatever the moment is. Yeah, the timeline of this is wild. I love, you know, podcast logistics. And that's what everybody's here to listen

to us talk about. Right. Is podcast logistics. So today we'll be discussing with the microphones that we're using.

No, we're talking about chapters 27 and 28 of the Mark of Athenae, which are both Piper

chapters.

And ooh, ooh, ooh, do I have thoughts.

Ooh, do I have thoughts?

I'm sure that you have many, many thoughts.
