- No pod for episode 10?
Hi there, love this pod and the way that you unravel all the meaning and nuances in the show. Will you be recording one for the final episode of the first season? Episode 10?

I love listening to both of them with different views. Makes me want to rewatch all over to catch the little spots I missed when listening to them.

United States12 days ago - Great pod; where’s the S1E10 review?
Enjoy your analyses, but wondering when you’ll finish the season? All of your previous episodes came out the day of (or within three days once). The season finale came out May 27 and it’s now June 3.
Apple Podcasts5ShutterbugJDUnited States12 days ago - Love this podcast!
I never missed a podcast and in fact, couldn’t wait until the next one was out. Love the way the hosts don’t recap the show but give thoughtful details about it, Handmaids Tale and the book by Atwood. Knowing I probably won’t read the book, it helps to know what was written. Way to go Paul and Caroline! My favorite podcast this year.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Podcast
What is This Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?
Two hosts—Paul and Caroline—dissect and contextualize adaptations and storylines from The Handmaid's Tale universe, with a focus on season arcs, character development, and the broader political vulnerabilities of Gilead. Across episodes, they weigh narrative choices, explore themes like power, resistance, and mercy, and repeatedly connect on-the-ground plot points to larger societal implications. A notable pattern is their balance of tension-filled analysis with moments of lighter commentary, making deep dives accessible for fans and newcomers alike.
