- Loving the show and the Escaping Gilead Pod
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.

United States10 months ago - Sometimes spot on sometimes I wonder if they watch undistracted.
Like the title indicates sometimes these two are spot on and sometimes I wonder if they are watching, but are distracted. For example, in this latest episode, they refer to Jaden as dead, even though he did not die in the episode, and start out by referring to June’s dream as a memory that is speeding up so she must be losing memory of Hanna. They make comments that make me question if they read the books as well especially with their predictions.

Apple Podcasts5xrhjkxUnited States5 years ago - This is the breakdown you need
I race through each broadcast because of the tension, the drama and the shock I want from the show. Having this podcast to slow me down and breakdown the episode to think about the events is great and really adds to my enjoyment of the show. Caroline and Paul are so fun to listen to!
All the podcasts on Pod Clubhouse are fantastic - something for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Podcast
What is This Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?
