We've entitled it "A Woman's Place." We discuss the various ways we see "A Woman's Place" illustrated from the Gilead perspective. It isn't of course the only theme, but it is an interesting one.

In honor of Pride Month, we'd like to encourage you to take a trip to Twitch, and perhaps enjoy Kay's Game Stream there. She's fundraising for the Trevor Project. If you are a gamer, enjoy streaming and want to support the Trevor Project you can find Kae's stream at HistoricalSquid on Twitch.

This week we take a deep dive into the primary themes of Episode 2, Season 3. We've entitled it "The Fruit that Pain has Wrought." We discuss the various ways in which Trauma (PTSD) is portrayed by the characters we see in this episode. We also discuss how solidarity is made from common experience.

And please excuse the somewhat wonky sound on this episode. I got a new mic and am still working on tweaking my set up.

I hope you join us, this week and every week as we continue to dive in, roll around and explore this fantastic show and its
source text!
