The Handmaid's Tale Podcast: The Testaments

Announcement: Sex-ed class sign-ups are today. Teachers are Aunt Vidala and Daisy, you're choice ;) PS This show is such an interesting and unique mix of coming-of-age wonder and discovery, tension, humor, and dystopian darkness, and this episode delivers on all of it. We’re very much enjoying watching it and podcasting about it, in case you can’t tell. And we thank all of you for listening along!

So much conflict and tension is being sown in this show, with Agnes’ crush Garth courting Becka, who loves Agnes;  Agnes’ suitor Weston closing in on Daisy as the leader of the Eyes; and Daisy the anti-Gilead-spy getting closer to Agnes, who thinks anti-Gilead spies want to kill her. In honor of all the discord, Daphne, Wendy, and Jason argue fiercely throughout this episode. Enjoy! (PS Just kidding. Maybe.)

We’re not sure we’ve ever seen a dance turn so creepy so fast. Another fantastic episode, deepening the characters of these girls, and making us hope for the best for all of them (because, you know, optimism bias).
