What a thrill to once again talk to Bruce Miller, showrunner of The Testaments! His enthusiasm for the material is clear and infectious, and we hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.
Among other things, Bruce talked about:

Another big batch of passionate, thoughtful, insightful messages from you guys. Praise be! It was a pleasure for us to go through these and respond, and think about The Testaments in new ways. We really made the right decision making these podcasts i... more
A moving, satisfying, bittersweet season finale where these girls who’ve spent the season waking up to how oppressed they and the women of Gilead have been decided to take a stand. We loved it, and we have a lot to talk about.

What a dynamic 3 - this is a great listen - right level of granular review and analysis of the narrative and levity….!
Have returned for The Testaments coverage now!
I found this podcast recently when I started watching the Testaments. I have loved it so much that I have gone back to re-watch and then listen to all of the Handmaid episodes. Thank you so much for acknowledging the obvious connections to what is happening in the “real world. “
Great show! Thank you. Listening to you guys talk about the show is like having a conversation with some really smart friends. Sometimes I want to chime in too. It extends the joy of watching the show. Also, bravo for not letting the people who are trying to silence you win! Everything is politics and if you don’t see how this show relates to the current state of our country you are sticking your head in the sand.
Love love LOVE this pod! Thank you for getting into the nitty gritty of how the themes in these stories connect to what is going on in the US today. The parallels are so strong and I truly think the conversation would be stunted if you guys shied away from that part. Love the pod and thank you for all you do!!
One of the best recap podcast teams out there.. each with his/her own perspectives, opinions, and predictions. Thoughtful of each other and their critics, and like most of us (except those that don’t see and hear what’s really going on, with their own eyes and ears, and give them a bad rating because of political views) see a potential for Gilead-like leanings for a those that ‘run’ this country. Thank you for your deep dives and noticing all the nuances we may have missed on first watch. List... more

Three hosts provide episode-by-episode deep dives into a dystopian TV universe, blending thoughtful analysis with timely political and social commentary.
