Welcome back to the Fake Ass Book Club!! This week Moni and Kat take a trip to the Republic of Gilead in Margret Atwood's acclaimed novel "The Handmaid's Tale. What a trip!!! The ladies are grateful to be in studio with @ericdizzy of the Black Widow Podcast; the audio is impeccible this week. Like always the conversation moves around...they discuss the book and make comparisons to the HULU adaptation. They also make their way to topics like theocracy (Religion ran governments, think Saudi Arabi and Iran), ratchet bible stories, patriarchy, the January 6th attempted coup in the US, and the similartittes Atwood's story has to...you guessed it... Slavery!! Bet you didn't see that coming!! Tune in for some thoughtful dialouge and a few laughs. Enjoy the show. *Dedication: *Moni dedicated the episode to the listeners, Planned Parenthood, bodily autonomy, and reproductive freedom.Kat dedicated this episode to Harriet Jacobs aka Linda Brent author of "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IncidentsintheLifeofaSlave_Girl Warning: Adult Content and Language please be advised this show is for adults 18 and up.
