So great to get so much of Daisy’s story in this episode. I don’t even want to say too much about it in case someone reads this first and gets spoiled, but this show is really humming along!

Feels like the hosts are afraid to say anything at all that might be negative. I don’t know why, maybe they wanted the showrunner to like them or something. One example is when the episode for season 6 episode 10 started and all three of them said that they liked it a lot… I don’t think they are stupid or don’t know anything about TV, so I have to assume that they just try very hard to be positive instead of being honest about their opinion. With an episode that has a whopping 5,7 on imdb, I fin... more
I love the podcast guys! Love your summaries, thoughts and in depth discussions. Love hearing how the stories impact you personally. And anyone who is a fan of this TV show and can somehow divorce their enjoyment of this show from the current political climate is missing Ms. Atwood’s whole point of writing this warning novel in the first place! The themes of this show explain to us exactly how a democratic society like America can devolve into a theocracy. Whoever is angry about them acknowl... more
Love this podcast, thoughtful, truthful and relatable. Down with the MAGA trolls, they don’t watch the show
If you have no one to talk to about The Handmaid’s Tale, definitely listen to this podcast! It made me feel so much less alone and truly has brought me so much hope for America’s future! I’m so grateful to know that there are others that care about the oppressed. I have also LEARNED so much!!
Great podcast for a great show! Thanks for breaking down every show so well. Thanks for your sharing your passion for what is going on in our country in 2025! Thanks!

The show offers in-depth, episode-by-episode analysis of The Handmaid's Tale universe, with a focus on thematic threads like oppression, motherhood, resistance, and the social/political parallels that arise in the series. Hosts Daphne, Wendy, and Jason bring a collaborative dynamic—balancing critical takes with personal reflections and audience feedback—while frequently tying episodes to real-world issues and ongoing political discourse. The discussion often centers on character arcs, power structures in Gilead, and the implications of the narrative for feminism and civil rights, making it a thoughtful, opinionated listen for fans who want more than surface-level recaps. Noteworthy is the long-running host chemistry, willingness to engage w... more
