Gasp, a TNO episode posted on a Thursday. What's happening? What's happening? More like,

what's good? Thank you so much for tuning into this bonus episode of the News Olympian.

I am here just for a I want to make sure no one misses this announcement. I always feel guilty

when I see comments, people saying, oh, I didn't know this was a thing, whether that is a live show

happening in a city near them or a stream happening that they didn't know about.

So I just wanted to be super duber, dober, dober, duper, duper, duper, duper, crystal clear that this

Saturday at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, we are doing the live stream where I will be covering the end of the mark of Athena, and I will be live reading and live reacting to that part, whatever it may be. I have no idea. Whatever it may be, I will be live reacting to that on stage in Providence, Rhode Island, and on stream wherever the internet is. So if you live in or near Providence, you want to come through to the show, come through, we still have some tickets left. But if you want to see it, no matter where you are, you can go to the newsollympian.com slash live and get your stream tickets. Patrons get 20% off, and everyone gets a seven-day replay included with the tickets. So if Saturday at 8 p.m. Eastern Time isn't good for you. You're busy that day.

You live in a time zone where that's like three in the morning. Don't worry. You don't have to watch it at that exact moment. You can watch the replay. After the fact, we're going to stream it utilizing YouTube live. So there will be a chat feature and all of that. So you can be a part of the community. So you feel like part of a crew.

And here's how the actual stream will work. Some folks have asked questions of what the breakdown is going to be. So here is the plan for the show. I will be joined on stage by Dr. Stephen Parra and

Sequoia Simone. We will be covering chapters 49 through 52. Those are the final four chapters of

the book. Now, the first three are more normal-sized,

and the last one is rather short. I believe, at least at the time of recording this on Wednesday,

September 10th, I believe that the big gasp plot twist happens at the end of chapter 51.

And Kelly has marked a page in my book where she says, don't read past this line. So I will be doing the normal process for those first few chapters, reading ahead of time, taking notes, going over those with Stephen and Sequoia on stage. And then at the end of the first act of the show, I will switch to the live read portion, where I will

be paraphrasing what happens. So it'll sound similar to my notes, but rather than me having

bullet points, I will basically be crafting bullet points on the spot. I can't read the book

verbatim because I am always trying to live my life in a way where I am not sued by Disney Hyperion.

So I will be paraphrasing and basically just reading through sharing my thoughts in real time and then reacting to whatever this big moment is.

When it gets to that big moment and the chapter ends, that will be the end of Act 1.

We will break for intermission.

And during intermission, I will read the end of Act 1. We will break for intermission. And during intermission,

I will read and take notes about chapter 52. It's pretty short from what I've been told by my inside sources, Kelly, and I will read and take notes during intermission. And then we'll come back
