One man summarize, mansplains, and (wrongly) corrects his female cohosts

“Why would anyone listen to any podcast, nevermind a Handmaids Tale podcast where a man dominates, talks over and ‘mansplains’ the episodes to two women the entire time?!
Anytime one of the two female hosts tries to interject he talks over them or negates their idea, comment, or theory. At one point one thought he did agree because he nodded and he replied “sorry I was just nodding, not listening- I’m married and used to nodding remember”- completely negating and disrespecting the co-host.
Another time one of the female cohosts FINALLY interrupts the boring episode summary to interject how brainwashed the children and ‘’marthas’ and be again negates this theory even though this is such an obvious theme throughout the show. Instead he says “No, see this as a plausible, real prayer”. What?! Because it happens to resonate in him it is the first “real” prayer on the shower and not an example of religious brainwashing (he talked over the cohost at this point to).
Even the pronunciation Mika Brzezinski is a argument because the male host pronounced it as Mica (the mineral) and one of the female cohosts corrects him with the CORRECT spelling and he says NO it pronounced MICA I LOOKED IT UP and the female cohosts backs down saying okay - guess who is correct? The female cohost!!!!! How is that possible if he looked up how to pronounce it to the point to correct his own cohost?!
The entire episode is like this, a real life example of a man just assuming his ideas and voice are more important, and correct than anyone else’s, esp his female cohosts. Hard pass- there are MANY more podcasts to listen to with thought provoking discussions and hosts that do real research and discuss theories respectfully with one another. I would rather not support this host every again.”

“I’m pretty new to this Podcasts thing. But I love the show so much as well as the book that I really wanted to explore more content. Love the insights and the inside information on the episodes as well as the extra interviews and information provided.”

“Love this podcast! I like the different perspectives that make me consider things I hadn't thought of, and there's bits of humor thrown in. With a show this heavy, we all need a little humor here and there. I also enjoy the various quotes at the beginning of the episodes. Be sure to add...”Read full review »

“This has never been a spectacular podcast, but amazingly it's gotten worse. It's not even about The Handmaid's Tale anymore. It's just a bunch of boring people talking about Narwals. I'm not kidding. I really miss The Red Center.”
