In Episode 7 of BUST’s Poptarts podcast, “The Handmaid’s Tale!”, the gals dig deep into the new Hulu Series. We make a case for why the show is most definitely feminist, dive into the era in which the original novel was written, and discuss how the project is eerily relevant given the political climate we’re living in today.

About: BUST’s Poptarts is a twice-monthly podcast hosted by BUST Magazine editors Emily Rems and Callie Watts that celebrates women in pop culture. The first half of each episode is devoted to a hot topic in entertainment, and in the second half, a segment called “Whatcha Watchin’?,” Callie and Emily dig into all the shows, movies, books, music, videos, and podcasts they’ve enjoyed since the last episode, and either praise or pan each experience.
