Summary
FINALLY! Ever since my chats with the production team for Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 1, I have been FASCINATED with costume design for the show. At long last, I was able to chat with a costume designer from the series! Catherine Adair took over for Season 2's costume design, and we discuss her stellar work (and learn loads of info) in this lovely chat!

| 0:00.0 | What's good? Thank you so much for tuning into this bonus interview episode of The Newest Olympian. |
| 0:04.7 | My name is Mike Schubert. I'm the titular newest Olympian. I'm a 33-year-old man who never read the Percy Jackson books as a kid, but I read them as an adult because I was on a quest to determine if society had been sleeping on the series, and then I covered season two of the TV show to see if society was missing out on that. And I am happy to say, I think season two is a big hit. |
| 0:21.3 | And there are many reasons why. And I am happy to say, I think season two is a big hit. |
| 0:21.5 | And there are many reasons why. And I think that one major reason is the costuming. And I'm so |
| 0:26.8 | excited to announce that at long last, I will be presenting you this interview right now. We are |
| 0:32.2 | joined today by the costume designer for Prissy Jackson in the Olympian season two. It's |
| 0:36.2 | Catherine Adair. Catherine, how's it going? Great. Absolutely great. It's lovely to finally get together with you. |
| 0:43.1 | Yes, it has been many, many months in the making. We met when we were, as the podcast grew, |
| 0:49.4 | fortunate enough to take a tour of the set for season two. And you were the first little tour that we had |
| 0:55.6 | because we got to set. Yeah. We did like a little bit where they were filming the Circe's slash |
| 1:02.3 | C.C. Spa stuff. So we just kind of got set up there. And the first like official tour because |
| 1:08.2 | they had us touring all the departments was your costuming department. |
| 1:13.2 | And like right off the bat, we saw the wedding dress and the sirens outfit and Luke's |
| 1:22.0 | track suit fit. And it was just like right away, we were instantly just hit with stuff that me and the other podcasters were nerding out about. |
| 1:29.7 | And you gave such a delightful introduction to everything. |
| 1:32.9 | And probably partially because of me, I think we stayed far longer than they had scheduled because I had so many questions. |
| 1:39.5 | Because I think costuming is so interesting. |
| 1:41.7 | I think it's so fascinating. |
| 1:43.6 | And I had so much fun being able to speak |
| 1:46.5 | with Tish Monaghan for season one. And I could have talked to her for a million years. And now I'm |
| 1:51.3 | excited to talk to you for a little longer for season two. But can you just take us all back to |
| 1:57.2 | like how you became a part of the project and how your work on season two began. |
