| 0:32.0 | Thank you so much for tuning into this bonus episode of The Newest Olympian. |
| 0:35.5 | My name is Mike Schuber. |
| 0:36.4 | I am the titular newest Olympian. I'm a grown man who never read the Percy Jackson books as a kid. I name is Mike Schuber. I'm the titular Newst Olympian. |
| 0:37.9 | I'm a grown 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 society had been sleeping on the series. I said yes and now I'm seeing if society's been sleeping on the TV show. But I don't think that's happening because this show's really good and it's becoming quite popular. But I'm here with the bonus episode with interview content if you were unaware I have |
| 0:55.6 | been a distinguished member of the press I've been invited to do press opportunities with the |
| 1:01.4 | Percy Jackson show and this episode I will have clips from the Junkett coverage I have an |
| 1:06.7 | episode three relevant question same junket stuff that was in the last bonus episode and that you |
| 1:11.5 | may have been seeing clips of over on the TNO Instagram and YouTube accounts. But also, I'll be |
| 1:17.4 | sharing audio from the interviews I did at San Diego Comic-Con back over the summer. I never really |
| 1:22.7 | found a time to work this into the schedule since we were really working our way through the |
| 1:26.9 | mark of Athena. But now that we've got bonus episodes coming out more frequently and we've got the TV show coverage underway. I figured let's put that all together. And a lot of the information is still fascinating. A lot of the interviews and audio extras are really fun. So let's get into the first clip that you are going to hear. If this is your first episode of the New Olympian, by some chance, maybe you are someone that wants to just check out these interview |
| 1:47.6 | episodes. Thank you for listening. I hope you enjoy. We've got episode breakdowns of each of the |
| 1:52.8 | actual episodes of the TV show as well, but this is just kind of behind the scenesy stuff. But I |
| 1:56.7 | hope you enjoy this episode. Now, the first interview is from that press junket that I did |
| 2:02.1 | the day before the world premiere of Percy Jackson and the Olympian season two. It's a topic |
| 2:06.8 | that's near and dear to my heart whenever Luke comes up. And I've talked about this with Charlie |
| 2:10.6 | Bushnell, who plays Luke when he was on my podcast after season one. And I had to follow up about this |
| 2:16.0 | on season two. Many of you can see where this is going. |
| 2:18.0 | Here's the clip. |
| 2:18.7 | Hi, I'm Mike Schubert. |
