| 0:00.0 | There is probably nothing more badass than a black Vespa. |
| 0:04.0 | Because it's intense, but also I'm confident in myself to write a Vespa. |
| 0:08.0 | Exactly. What's good. |
| 0:30.2 | Thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of The Newest Olympian. |
| 0:33.3 | My name is Mike Schumer. |
| 0:34.2 | I'm the titular newest Olympian. |
| 0:35.7 | I am a 29-year-old man who has never read the Percy Jackson series before. But I'm reading them now for their very first time on a quest to determine if this is a book series that we've all been sleeping on as a society. I am not on this quest alone, though. I am joined by a podcast writer and producer, a podcaster of all sorts. She's a producer of Unseen and Wolf-359. It's |

| 1:31.3 | Now we're getting some variety. So who knows what we're going to cover in this episode and the next. |
| 1:35.6 | But before we get into that, what is your background with Percy Jackson and all of the books that Rick Ryorden has given to us? |
| 1:43.7 | Oh, man. I'm glad to be on this podcast |
| 1:45.6 | and to have started listening to the newest Olympian to finally know how to pronounce his name |
| 1:49.1 | correctly. Oh, it's been good. It's been very helpful. I don't know that I was too old for them, |
| 1:54.3 | but I had entered my like snobby pretentious literature phase by the time they were out when I was in school. But when I had |
| 2:02.4 | graduated college and I was very scared and desperate to write anything for anyone, for any amount of |
