The Newest Olympian

Hello! This is an off-week for TNO, but I didn't want to leave you with NOTHING, so here's a little bonus episode that has info about our upcoming live show in Sant Monica, the charity we're supporting this break, and what the podcast will look like when the TV show returns in December. Finally, I end this episode with a preview of a recent Patreon bonus episode! I've started a series where I go through old TNO Reddit posts that were marked as spoilers at the time but are now safe for me to read. You can listen to the first two installments of this saga right now at www.patreon.com/thenewestolympian.
