    Story 106: Praise the Sun Jul 15, 2025
    Show notes

    “They don't got Ra on their side.”

    Catch a ride in one of your two posh solar rides and explore the many aspects of Ra.

    Other topics include giving Riordan too much credit about why Ra would care about Walt, Darien taking taking a hard stance regarding the historical accuracy of the Genesis flood narrative, a call for someone to edit a few pages of the Riordan Wiki, the difference between scarab beetles and “shoe bugs,” the three seasons of Ancient Egypt, and why Ra was the only god who got old.

    Story 105: Order, Chaos, and Ancient Egyptian Etiquette Jul 08, 2025
    Show notes

    “Thanks, Cleopatra…”

    Does order and chaos actually appear as themes in Ancient Egypt? Yes!

    Other topics include the co-hosts again harping on Riordan not leaning into the Kanes representing chaos as a positive for ce, the state of Idaho being held together with duct tape and paperclips, DJ continuing being weirdly anti-sand, Darien’s fight to verify sources from Wikipedia, speculations around the sun, and Riordan dropping the ball on giving us goddess Ma’at.”

    Story 104: Egypt is Really Old, Y'all (Pt. 2) Jun 17, 2025
    Show notes

    "Gotta find the Rosetta Stone."

    Part two of the longest notes Darien has ever compiled for the show.

    Other topics include Egypt still being really old with a lot going on, DJ dropping the ball on the rule of threes, Darien spending a lot of time talking about powerful women, Egyptian cultural artifacts that aren’t in Egypt (but really should be), Google AI being terrible, and an announcement to never cite this podcast in any academic context.

    Story 104: Egypt is Really Old, Y'all (Pt. 1) Jun 04, 2025
    Show notes

    “This is not a place for grieving; it is a place for rest.”

    Part one of the longest notes Darien has ever compiled for the show.

    Other topics include Egypt being really old with a lot going on, the true purpose of pyramids, Darien refusing to be distracted by DJ’s shenanigans, a brief pitstop to look up all Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, how annoying it would be to get call in for pyramid duty on your day off, celebrations of corn and leavened bread, and some perhaps unfair criticism of Stonehenge.

    Story 103: The Serpent’s Shadow, or We Swear We Liked This Book May 06, 2025
    Show notes

    “Riordan, will you just commit harder?!”

    And we close out the Kane Chronicles with Darien and DJ complaining about a book they claimed to have enjoyed.
    Other topics include a real underwhelming “cost” for beating the big bad, DJ having two nickels, still waiting for a pay off for Ruby Kane’s “other gods” drop, wanting to see Riordan commit harder to his concepts, Darien’s favorite scene of the series, a defense of Chaos being good and necessary, and Riordan needing to commit harder to his good ideas.
    Spoilers for The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs, The Infernal Devices, and One Piece.

    Story 102: The Throne of Fire, or Sadie Seriously Overshares Apr 22, 2025
    Show notes

    “Your toys look funner than mine!”

    It’s book two of the Kane Chronicles! Was DJ right about Apophis taking over the Oracle of Delphi? No, of course not.

    Other topics include both host being bested by the book description, the framing device breaking down again, dreaming of the day when Riordan will finally tear down the walls, Sadie seriously over sharing, that fella Walt, acknowledging that Percabeth is, in fact, the greatest love story ever told, justice for vultures, and trying to nuance our way out of a bad love triangle.

    Spoilers for X-Men (comics and animated series) and Loki

    Story 101: The Red Pyramid, or The Egyptian One! Apr 08, 2025
    Show notes

    “All major snakes in mythology are just the same fucking snake.”

    Time to enter the land of the pharaohs! Join Darien (she/they) and DJ (he/him) as they start their journey through Rick Riordan’s The Kane Chronicles.

    Other topics include a sort of muddy lore, DJ trying to uncover the mystery of why the Kane Chronicles audiobooks aren’t readily available, when exactly Bast was hanging out in Manhattan, a good, old fashioned “My God is stronger than your god” fight, obvious traps, age gaps in fiction, and a deeper examination of Order v. Chaos.


    Spoilers for SMITE
