Gilead Gazette - All Things Handmaid's Tale

NEW PODCAST ALERT!

In Blank Meets Blank we invent a new TV show every episode, starting with two random hat drawings and ending with a pilot, a first season summary and a fantasy cast. This is something we’ve been working on behind the scenes for a while (eagle-eared listeners will note references in this pilot to cement this fact) and we’re really glad to finally share the first episode!

If you enjoy this new podcast, please subscribe to our feed for Blank Meets Blank and leave a review on Apple Podcasts. We’ll be releasing season 1 of Blank Meets Blank, consisting of 6 – 10 episodes, and then take a break to evaluate and possibly record season 2. If you want this show to stick around, let us know with a review!

It is time we venture back into Gilead! “But you were almost out, you could have escaped!” you scream, oh yes you fools of course we were almost out but we have business to settle with Gilead! We don’t quite have a plan on how we are going to settle this Gilead business, but I imagine if we freestyle it a bit, things will work out, then tend to go our way so come along for the journey!

June has been left in an abandoned mansion, very pregnant with a black wolf hanging out watching it all unfold. We watch it all unfold as well with the new episode of Handmaid’s Tale season 2, episode 11 “Holly”. So many teases, so many options and Oprah Winfrey as the voice of hope. Hop on in and enjoy the ride if you can get the garage door open.
