The Handmaid’s Tale: When Fiction Feels Too Real (1/15)


Listen Later

This time, we’re unpacking The Handmaid’s Tale — the story that somehow feels both decades old and eerily current. From red cloaks to resistance, we’re talking about what Margaret Atwood’s world says about power, control, and how close fiction can hit to home. Tune in as we connect Gilead’s chilling rules to the headlines and conversations shaping today’s world.
