24: Pre-Season Six Catch-Up

Monday, March 31, 2025 • Duration 01:10:15

Like a lot of you, we weren’t sure we were ready for another season of The Handmaid’s Tale, but going back through the events of the series for this recap, we were reminded of two things: 1. This show has moved on from the first couple of season when the characters couldn’t do much to react to their situation, and into a place where they’re fighting back, and that feels good. And 2. It’s just such a good show, and despite the current situation, it’s easy to get lost in. And we want to know how it ends!

So join Wendy and Jason as we refresh you on everything that’s happened up until now, and explain how we’ll be approaching the podcast given what’s happening in the United States and in the world right now.

23: Let's Not Have The Handmaid's Tale for Real

Thursday, September 26, 2024 • Duration 01:13:20

Hey all, after a two-year break (!) we wanted to talk to you about how we think the world has become more like The Handmaid’s Tale since last we spoke, and what we can do to fight back, stop things from going further in that direction, and even reverse what’s already happened.

Podcastica doesn’t usually get political, but among all our podcast listeners we think (and hope) that you’re the right audience to hear this. If you have thoughts about anything we said, we want to hear.

13: "Border" (S5E3)

Season 5

Wednesday, September 21, 2022 • Duration 01:49:30

A bit of a quieter episode this week, but no less enthralling, with events that we suspect will loom large over the remainder of the series, like June connecting with a certain rebellious group and Serena getting a new job. Plus, some fireworks between Serena and Mark (so you know Wendy is happy).

How does Serena seem to conduct everyone in two countries like an orchestra? Oy. She’s so bad (and we're counting the days until she gets her comeuppance). Join us!

By her f#@%ing hand, we (Daphne, Wendy, and Jason) are back and thrilled to be podcasting about The Handmaid’s Tale again, and to have all of you watching and listening along with us! Some surprising twists and turns in this first episode as the season begins to take shape.

Here are some quick video recaps of the first four seasons in case you need a refresher. We didn’t make these, but we watched them to get caught up.

10: Bruce Miller (Showrunner of The Handmaid's Tale)

Season 4

Friday, July 9, 2021 • Duration 43:55

We’re beyond thrilled to welcome The Handmaid’s Tale showrunner Bruce Miller to the podcast. Unsurprisingly, he was a pleasure to talk to, and of course had a lot of fascinating things to say about the making of this incredible show.

A few of the things we talked about:

• Margaret Atwood’s involvement in the series

• The attention to detail that goes into creating the world of Gilead

• An answer to people who say the show is too brutal

• Whether he can get into the heads of every character

• His thoughts on our podcast

• And much much more!

Enjoy!

9: "The Wilderness" (S4E10)

Season 4

Friday, June 18, 2021 • Duration 02:26:22

Wow. WOW! What an incredibly intense finale. Dark? Yes. Cathartic? We thought so.

We had such a great time podcasting about Handmaid’s Tale this season - because of the high quality of the show, and because of all the fantastic engagement with you guys! Thanks for being a part of it all with us, and we’ll see you for season 5.

Next on House Podcastica: Our next series will be the upcoming Disney+ show, What If? Which explores how the MCU would be altered if certain events had occurred differently, like if Loki wielded Thor's hammer. It’s an animated show, beautifully done by the looks of the teaser trailer, and features Westworld’s Geoffrey Wright as The Watcher (kind of this show’s Rod Serling) and a bunch of the Marvel move actors like Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Sam Jackson, Michael B. Jordan, Jeff Goldblum, Karen Gillan, Josh Brolin, and a bunch more. Looks like even Chadwick Boseman did one before he passed away. So, if you’re watching that, we’ll be there to help you geek out on it :) It comes out in August so we might cover a movie or two in the meantime.

Friday, June 11, 2021 • Duration 02:04:54

More unexpected, crazy events this week, like June reuniting with Nick, the return of Esther, and f%#ng Fred getting a reprieve, among other things. We’re incredibly thrilled to have the amazing Rima of Strange Indeed guesting with us this week!

7: "Testimony" (S4E8)

Season 4

Thursday, June 3, 2021 • Duration 01:54:56

So fascinating to see how June’s presence in Canada impacts the people around her — Luke, Fred & Serena, Emily and the women of the support group. Even with June safely out of Gilead, the show is as captivating — and troubling — as ever, with no easy answers, but lots to talk about.
