| 0:00.0 | Hi Harry Potter and Sega Tech listeners. We're here to tell you what a podcast we think you should check out. |
| 0:04.5 | So Mike Schubert, a good friend who used to make the Potter List podcast, is now making the podcast the newest Olympian. |
| 0:12.2 | It is about the Percy Jackson series, and he is bringing the same humor and intelligence and empathy to the Percy Jackson series that he brought to the Harry Potter series. |
| 0:22.2 | Join Mike as he reads through the books for the first time with the help of longtime Percy Jackson and the Limpens fans to cover the plot, attempt to predict what happens next, and nerd out over Greek mythology. |
| 0:31.4 | And between each book, the newest Olympian will have special episodes covering topics that come up across a series such as Greek mythology, living with ADHD, asexuality, and more. |
| 0:40.6 | The newest Olympian welcomes in established fans and newcomers alike, so whether you're looking for an excuse to finally read the Percy Jackson books, or want to reread an old favorite with a digital book club, the newest Olympian is the podcast for you. |
| 0:51.6 | Mike is already on book five of the first series, so you'll have over 80 episodes to marathon through if you're in search of a new podcast to devour. |
| 0:58.2 | You might recognize Mike because he has been on Harry Potter in the sacred text and the women of Harry Potter multiple times, and we love his new podcast. |
| 1:06.6 | New episodes release on Mondays, wherever you get your podcast, just search for the newest Olympian in your favorite podcasting app, or go to www.thenewistillumbian.com. |
| 1:17.2 | Chapter 15. Bobaton and Dormstrang. Early next morning, Harry woke with a plan fully formed in his mind, as though his sleeping brain had been working on it all night. |
| 1:32.8 | He got up, dressed in the pale dawn light, left the dormitory without waking Ron, and went back down to the deserted common. |
| 1:40.4 | I'm Casper Turquil. And I'm Vanessa Zoltan. And this is Harry Potter and the sacred text. |
| 1:46.8 | So possibly the strangest thing that I own is in a box that I keep. I have this box, which has like the front covers of all the playbills of shows I've seen, and postcards from friends from all over the world, and all the love letters I've ever gotten. |
| 2:04.0 | And I have a letter in that box that's 15 years old and that I've never read. |
| 2:08.8 | And so this letter is from this guy whose name I will change for the sake of the story. His name is Devon. And I transferred to Wash You as I've talked about on the show before, and I transferred at the same time as Devon. |
| 2:19.2 | And in that way that you become friends with someone in college the first month or so school, we like got meals together. And he was like really nice. |
| 2:26.4 | And he would like come by my dorm room and like pick me up to go to dinner. And I was applying for the Creative Writing Program at Wash You, which you like needed to apply in order to be able to take classes there. |
| 2:36.8 | And he read two of my stories and helped me decide which one to turn in for my application. And the friendship didn't last very long because there was a transition in the friendship where things got weird. |
| 2:50.0 | The first thing that happened was my roommates knew Devon because he would come by sometimes. And I went to bed one night at like 12 or 1 in the morning. |
| 2:58.0 | And I woke up an hour or so later and he was in my bed. |
| 3:03.6 | Whoa. |
| 3:04.4 | Yeah. And like this wasn't a normal thing. It's not like he ever slept over or was in my bed or sat on my bed like this was a shocking thing. |
