Lacks Racial Diversity :/
This is a great podcast. I was on Mike’s journey through Harry Potter and have been enjoying his journey through the PJ universe. I know that it is a podcast and we can’t see cast but based off the instagram posts, the name’s of guests, and the copious references to Taylor Swift the podcast comes across fairly white. As POC that’s 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 who’s identities are similar to those characters (I’m 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 :)

More reviews of The Newest Olympian
Mike is my absolute favorite podcast host: he’s funny, very charismatic, and does a really goed job at storytelling! Listen to his podcasts if you haven’t already, you won’t regret it

I listened to potterless and mikes other podcasts and fell in love with them. As one of my New Years resolutions was to read more, i am treating the newest Olympian to help me with a book club. Thanks Mike and friends for making reading fun
