Mayday: The Handmaid’s Tale Podcast

Can’t bring myself to unfollow

Hello - I just started listening to the audio book today. I love that they have 3 narrators for the characters. As I finish the chapters I’m listening to your recap. I recommend you listen to audio book! :)

The handmaids tale is so brilliant. Literally every aspect of it. I’ve never seen a more empowering show as a woman. It shows that no matter what’s happening in the world, it can’t tear us down. I want to hear people who appreciate the show and the brilliance of it. I agree with the other reviewers that you guys really don’t have enough appreciation/passion for the show and the story and the larger lessons it is teaching us. Ps: in my opinion, this is the most binge worthy show. I also do not like the show walking dead or any other “dark” shows. I think me and my opinions just differ so much from these ladies that I don’t find it enjoyable. I want a much more deeper analysis and to talk about how our society and parts of it relate to Gilead. Because it is an exaggerated version of our world. You almost talk about it like the people who wrote or created this story are bad instead of looking into the concepts that are “bad”

I really like the podcast, but do you ever listen to the podcast after you have recorded? I have to put my volume on max and it still isn’t loud enough. It sounds like the microphone is here but you are sitting soooooooo far away from it. I want to keep listening but I can never hear anything while I’m on the train commuting.
