Description
Monster Donut is a close reading of the Riordanverse including interviews with the cast and creatives behind the Disney+ series, hosted by Phoebe, a dramaturg and story consultant in the TV/theater industry, and Emily, a writer & classicist with a degree in Greek & Latin. Every two weeks, Phoebe & Emily (along with some occasional special guests) analyze every book, short story, and episode of the Disney+ adaptation. While they chat, Phoebe sketches whatever characters/scenes are speaking to her. Those sketches are posted on our Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok (@PJOPod on all accounts). New episodes every other Tuesday!
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
