Co-hosts Elissa Karasik and Julia Meltzer introduce listeners to the show and explain why they decided to make it - some people have basic friends that they can’t discuss The Handmaid’s Tale with. Julia and Elissa will be your non-basic friends, delivering hot takes, incisive commentary, and jokes that you are straight up welcome to recycle and take credit for at the water cooler, right into your headphones. From Elisabeth Moss’ first national commercial to bonnet-vision to fertility blindness, a lot of ground is covered in this fiery debut episode. Does the friend zone still exist in Gilead? Do we as a society fetishize motherhood? How did Rory Gilmore become Ofglen? Is Julia even a woman if she’s never had a migraine?  These are the kind of easy, breezy, beautiful questions we ask on Under Her Eye.
