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 so addicted to this show. I never read the book before but I am now. I enjoy these podcasts because they talk about the book and the Hulu show both. They come up with discussion points for things I didn't notice when I watched. There are two women & two men. It makes a good group...”Read full review »

“So many problems with this podcast. This podcast gets more access to actors and writers involved with the show than any other THT podcast and yet they still routinely bring up theories that those involved with the show have completely debunked. They consistently miss details in each episode (or...”Read full review »
