Too many live shows
I enjoy your commentary and really enjoy getting g to re-experience the books for the first time through your eyes! Iāve been with you since the Potterless days, but the number of live show episodes is almost making me want to move on. Itās just not as good as you and a guest one on one discussing the book.

I LOVE YOUR SHOW SO MUCH
If I was stuck in a room with Umbridge or Octavian, I would choose whichever one it was easier to and more subjects to annoying

All the Live Shows
Man who pays for all your shows and travel. Itās a good show, kinda comes off tweenāish but I guess thatās how you have to act to get the money. Try the show itās actually good, the host does a lot of good, fights for social causes and is trying to create a better world. Heās doing more than 99% of America who just bully and complain online behind a screen and username.

Favorite Podcast
I used to keep up with a lot of podcasts when I worked an office job, but my life style has changed so I donāt listen to podcasts as much. In fact, his is the only podcast I have kept up with, with the exception of being an episode or two behind occasionally. When I have the opportunity to, I try to listen to other podcasts Mike has been apart of.
I have followed Mikeās podcasts since before he became a full time podcaster. You can really tell he loves his job. I recommend any and all of his podcasts.

I know this episode was done a while ago but
Did you know that antlers are not really confined to only male deer and deer donāt really have super binary genders! Im not totally Shure in the specifics but I read about it in the book the gender binary is a big like would highly recommended also cut frank some slack about mars his mom died in a war
Highest regards,

Hi Mike! I listened to an episode of the podcast and you did a rap battle about Perc and Nico. I would love it if yoy did a rap battle that is centered around Percy and Annabeth.

Comforting
I love the PJO books, itās the only series I reread year after year. I love this show so much, it feels like having a friend read my favorite books. I get so excited for Mike to get to all of my favorite scenes and meet my favorite characters. Iām currently catching up but I hope to be there when Mike comes to Iowa!

TOAD IS COOL
Awesome
Hi Iām Ian and I just love the PJO, HOO, TOA, KC, and MC series. (Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, Trials of Apollo, Kane Chronicles, and Magnus Chase). I may be 13 years old but I would love to be a guest on your podcast. I listened to Potterless. Thank you so much.
From Ian a long time follower

Cannot get caught up fast enough!
I LOVE this podcast!! Iāve only just found it and Iām rushing through it to get caught up!! Shubes is now my PJo bff and I want to laugh at these half-bloodsā antics with him and all the guests!! The jokes are always 10/10, the commentary makes me realize things I hadnāt seen before (and Iāve been reading these since the first film came out) and I cannot get caught up fast enough and plan to get started on potterless next! Keep being shubperb, Mike!

Great and funny whether youāre a longtime PJO fan or new to the series!
This podcast is comedic gold. I started reading the Percy Jackson books because of this podcast and have never been happier with a book/audio decision.

Hello
Your predictions are godly (pun definitely intended)
Squishy123475
God-tier. Literally.
You deserve to actually become an Olympian god (of podcasts? Basketball? Comedy?). I first read the PJO books when I was a wee little nine-year-old, for the same reason that every younger sibling gets into anything-because my big brother was reading them. Since then, I have adored the PJO books and everything else Uncle Rick has written. I literally cannot wait for you to finish these books so you can go to the sequel series. And then the Kane Chronicles. And then the Magnus Chase trilogy. And then the Trials of Apollo. *fangirl delight intensifies* Anyways, you are the funniest, sweetest, coolest, most amazing Percy Jackson doppelgƤnger Iāve ever met (or heard in this case). Love ya bye

Awesome show!! Top quality podcast
Hi Mike, My theory for the reason The Lost Hero doesnāt have creative chapter titles is because it switches POVs and the names of each character are listed there for people to avoid being confused as to whose chapter it is..? Also I am a huge fan of your shows, thank you for all that you do!! Your podcasts got me through some tough times a few years ago itās amazing to see how your career has grown since then. Wishing you, Kelly, and your daughter all the best. Hope you come to Chicago again for a live show sometime!

Fun and quirky
Love that Mike didnāt know that Walker Scobell was Percy Jackson in episode 126 until Walker told him.
I love all the bits exceptā¦
Lovely podcast!
This podcast has been so refreshing after being in a listening/reading slump! The humor is right up my alley and has me bursting out laughing every time. Definitely worth a listen.

A Good Reminder
I love being reminded of how fun the PJO world is.
Hufflepuff Stuff
Love!!!!
I absolutely love this podcast!! Mr. Schubert is hilarious and I love all his ideas!! Definitely a podcast worth listening to!! My favorite episodes have to be the interviews with the PJO tv series actors!! There is a moment in episode 127 where you say that you donāt understand how people can like Selina Beauregard after what she did. (Spoiler alert for those who havenāt finished PJO book 5) I am a huge fan of Selina as well as Luke because both could have stayed safe and risked everyone but instead they both gave up their own life to make up for what they had done. Now that I have finished my rant I want to thank you for taking the time to read it.

Best podcast ever!
Iāve been listening to Mikeās podcasts for a while and this one is definitely the best! I really enjoy the show

Great show!
Great show! Been catching up on this and it is enjoyable to hear the predictions and reactions from someone who has not read it. I will say a pet peeve is that consistently Hades is referred to as evil. Hades is not inherently evil in mythology. Heās just another one of the gods, for better or for worse.
Shows like disneys Hercules have portrayed him as a bad guy, and there are some interesting analysis of the perception changing with Christianity. People started associating hades, who in Greek mythology was just the ruler of the underworld, not evil, to Satan, ruler of demons and the bad afterlife. Just even in Percy Jackson Hades isnāt any worse than other gods. In fact heās one of the better ones sometimes? So heās not one to be mentioned in the same breath as the real bad guys of the series.
Well that was a silly rant and there might be a change as the series goes on. Iām only in the reading of the Titans Curse so weāll see lol.
Still, great show. Super enjoy

Best thing ever!
It makes walking to school much better! Thank you! You have such a different perspective on somethingās and the exact same on others. (Movies. : P) On part three of the second movie, you mentioned Super Carlin Brothers. They are my other favorite podcasters.
Canāt wait for Heroes of Olympus!

Scratches the itch of all itches
Have you ever recommended someone a book almost overwhelmed by the excitement that they get to experience reading it for the first time? And then they tell you all about reading it and they light up getting into all the exciting details? And then youāre grinning ear to ear at getting to share in their excitement? Or maybe youāve never had that experience, but always dreamed it would happenā¦if thatās the case, then this is the podcast for you. Mikeās enthusiasm is electric and every episode is just a riptide roaring good time.

Like it a lot
My only complaint is the host (Iām 15 episodes in) seems to be on a mission to be offended on other groupās behalf, even when the representation is either harmless (a 12yo harmless girl/boy convo), reclaimed (the word ācrippleā), or very good and in fact groundbreaking (in the case of ADHD/dyslexia). But maybe he learns from that and further along. My only ask would to let people who have these attributes decide what is truly offensive because a large amount of things that being taken as negative/offensive are just a state of being for people! Otherwise, heās funny, genuinely enjoys the books and itās refreshing to see a new fanās views on one of the best kidās series ever made.
ALSO BIGGEST ISSUEā the audio repeats. 20 mins repeats half way through wvery single episode! Please fix itās driving me nuts š„²

Editing issues
I enjoy this Podcast. Love PJO and Mike & guests are entertaining to listen to. However, Iām so frustrated with the editing. Almost every episode is cut poorly where itāll go to an Ad break and then pick up 20 minutes before that Ad break and then cut off before the podcast actually ends. This has happened in countless episodes. Seems ridiculous considering heās done multiple podcasts and is books deep in this one

I started listening to this podcast after I finished the Percy Jackson series, and I just love Mikeās commentary on all of the books. He is so funny, and I love the books, excited for heroes of Olympus series. š

In Depth and Funny!
This is one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. Mike goes over the books in such a way that you donāt have to have read them to enjoy his commentary and banter with his guests. A great thing about this creator is his inclusivity and willingness to learn. He brings in guests who have experience with ADHD, asexuality, etc to give their perspective on the books and express what excels and what could be better. Every episode has me laughing out loud regardless of what theyāre covering. Percy Jackson fan, Mike Schubert fan, Greek mythology fan, or I just need something to listen to on this road trip fan, this is the podcast for you.

Lacks Racial Diversity :/
This is a great podcast. I was on Mikeās journey through Harry Potter and have been enjoying his journey through the PJ universe. I know that it is a podcast and we canāt see cast but based off the instagram posts, the nameās of guests, and the copious references to Taylor Swift the podcast comes across fairly white. As POC thatās into nerdy things that is something a lot of us are used to and I am not passing any moral judgements. In fact I want to commend Mike on having guest from around the world and having neurodivergent guests on to talk about their experience. That being said I really hope that there are some efforts made to improve racial diversity in the guests especially heading into the Heroes of Olympus as Rick consciously made the effort to include more racially diverse characters and I would love to hear from the perspective of people whoās identities are similar to those characters (Iām trying to remain spoiler free). All and all I am still having a great time and the guests are awesome. But this change would make this a 5 star podcast for me :)
