Escaping Gilead: The Testaments and Handmaid's Tale Podcast

I have been catching up on the handmaid’s tale over the last month. I find the show interesting, well done, and extremely terrifying. Once I got into the show, I started to look for a complementary podcast. I tried a few, but stop looking once I found Paul and Caroline. I really enjoy listening to them review and discuss each episode. They provide great insight into what I had just watched. I strongly encourage you to give them a try.

Completely uncool to be announcing “here’s how they did it in the book.” More than once, and on different topics. I’m out.

Might be better if the hosts just go scene by scene through the episode. Why jump around?? I fast forward through the rambling which can be a lot. I don’t need to listen to 10 minutes (not 10 but felt like it) about the history and present day use of feminine hygiene products vs what they use on the show. Guys it’s a show, not real people. Wow.

I enjoy their Gilded Age Podcast and decided to try their coverage of A Handmaid’s Tale. Oof. Your introduction said you weren’t going to be political. Uh, really? Have you taken a look around the USA lately? How can you cover a dystopian novel/TV show without talking about how the show is mirroring our own reality? Truly bizarre. Tell me, who would be offended by you criticizing the current political climate? Would it be the people who would agree with the creeping authoritarianism that is happening now? Truly disappointed in you guys for this.
